Blue Islands champions passengers’ freedom to roam with Powered by Breeze solution

Channel Islanders gain access to affordable mobile data when travelling to 150+ countries.

Channel Islands-based airline Blue Islands has launched a new eSIM offering, solving a common problem for passengers by providing easy access to affordable, seamless mobile data when travelling. The launch of the Blue Islands eSIM; a Powered by Breeze solution developed in partnership with eSIM Go, is testament to the airline’s ongoing commitment to a customer-first approach.

“Our customers need data wherever they go; through the Blue Islands eSIM we’re ensuring our customers have another option for well-priced mobile data when roaming off-island"

Rob Veron

CEO, Blue Islands

The Blue Islands eSIM provides reliable internet data when roaming; ensuring customers can stay connected to their favourite apps at low, fixed prices anywhere.

Jersey and Guernsey (Channel Islands) residents often face high roaming fees. Ongoing price hikes prompted the GCRA (Guernsey Competition & Regulatory Authority) to update its advice in October 2023, with the organisation issuing new guidelines on how islanders could protect themselves against hidden data roaming charges when travelling overseas. The GCRA warned that “many mobile network operators impose high fees for data abroad” and advised consumers to check their plans before travelling or seek a more affordable alternative.

Thanks to the Blue Islands eSIM, rather than risk high data charges when roaming in the UK or Europe, customers can now purchase a 1GB data bundle from as little as £4 (around $5). The pre-paid eSIM — a digital SIM that enables users to download a data plan on the go is a simple, convenient alternative to a physical local SIM card or continually finding Wi-Fi, and offers affordable, reliable data in over 150 countries.
