Halo is a travel eSIM built to remove the small annoyances. Networks are named on every plan before you pay, so you know it's NTT docomo or Vodafone, not a mystery MVNO. No app, no account: buy in three taps, the eSIM arrives by email in under a minute, and it activates when you first connect at your destination, so install it at home and forget it. Hotspot with no cap on our side, top-ups mid-trip, 190+ destinations, fixed-data or daily unlimited, 30-day money-back before activation.

Could you build this?

Partial The web frontend and checkout are simple, but operating an eSIM travel service requires wholesale carrier partnerships and integration with telecom GSMA/RSP (Remote SIM Provisioning) platforms or eSIM aggregators.

What it would actually take: The architecture involves a standard web shop (Next.js/Stripe) hooked up to telecom wholesale APIs like Gigs, 10T Tech, or eSIM Go via SM-DP+ servers to generate and deliver QR codes and LPA activation profiles. The difficult piece is securing reseller agreements, negotiating wholesale data tariffs across 190+ countries, and ensuring carrier-grade profile delivery reliability. It requires telecom business development and knowledge of GSMA RSP specs.
