With this update, it's now easier to read the information that matters most—pricing, remaining data, and expiry dates—even when your screen is hard to see while you're out and about. At Bloomy eSIM, we reviewed the contrast (the difference in brightness between text and background) and adjusted our color choices so they're easier to read for more people. It's a small change, but our goal is to help anyone using an eSIM abroad for the first time find the information they need without getting lost.
What's in This Update
This time, we focused on the color choices that affect on-screen readability (accessibility). Specifically, we improved the contrast in areas such as:
- Text and backgrounds on review cards
- Links and descriptive text in the footer
- Text around pricing and plan details
Each of these directly affects whether content is easy to read. By gently adjusting the color tones and reducing text that was too faint to see clearly, we've made it easier to check details in both bright and dim surroundings.
Why We Revisited Contrast
Contrast refers to the difference in brightness between the text color and the background color. When that difference is small, a design might look elegant but the text can end up blurry and hard to read in practice. Smartphones in particular tend to be used in situations where it's hard to settle in and focus on the screen—under bright sunlight outdoors, or in a moving vehicle on the go.
When you're traveling, these "hard-to-see" moments come up even more often. In an unfamiliar place, you might be checking a map while setting up your eSIM at the airport or a café, or you may want to quickly glance at your remaining data or expiry date. If the text is hard to read in those moments, it becomes a small source of stress—and can even leave you wondering whether you've set things up correctly. That's exactly why we see readability as the foundation of a reassuring experience, and why we made these adjustments.
How This Helps You
Thanks to this improvement, information is easier to read in situations like these:
- Checking pricing or plan details outdoors or in bright surroundings
- Glancing at your screen on the move, when it's hard to focus
- Quickly checking your remaining data or expiry date
Your remaining data and expiry date in particular—"how much is left" and "how long can I use it"—are tied directly to your decisions while traveling. Making these easier to see also gives you peace of mind, helping you notice early if you're using a lot of data or approaching your expiry date.
Tip: Adjusting Screen Readability Yourself While Traveling
It's not just our color choices—your phone's own settings can make a big difference to readability too. Checking the following before you use your eSIM abroad can help you avoid scrambling once you arrive.
- Screen brightness: When the screen is hard to see outdoors, turning the brightness up manually makes text easier to read. Rather than relying entirely on auto-brightness, it helps to be able to adjust it when you need to.
- Text size: On both iPhone and Android, you can make text larger in the settings. If small text is hard for you to read, bumping it up a little before you leave makes setup screens and plan details easier to check.
- Dark mode / light mode: Dark mode can be easier on a night flight or in a dim room, while light mode often works better in bright sunlight. Knowing which one works best for you in each setting is handy.
When these device-side tweaks come together with easy-to-read colors on our end, it becomes easier to calmly check what's on your screen—even on your first trip abroad.
Tip: When Readability Really Helps—Choosing Data, Duration, and Destination
When choosing an eSIM, you'll mainly check three things: your destination, how much data you need, and how many days you'll use it. For a short trip, a smaller data amount and shorter duration may be enough; for studying abroad or a long stay, a larger data allowance or an unlimited plan might suit you better. The right plan changes with your style of travel.
In comparisons like these, how clearly the price, data, and duration are displayed has a direct impact on how easy it is to decide. When text is easy to read, it's also easier to weigh several plans side by side without second-guessing. Please note that plan details such as data allowances and supported countries may change, so be sure to check the latest information before you buy.
The Bloomy Touch
Bloomy eSIM cares about a clean, gentle feel built around white, soft blue, and navy. With this contrast adjustment too, we focused on preserving that look and feel while gradually lifting readability. Rather than darkening colors all at once and changing the impression, we aim to keep a reassuring appearance while making sure the information you need still reaches you clearly.
We see "easy for everyone to read" not as a special accommodation, but as a basic standard—so that many people, including first-time users, can use the service just as smoothly, without confusion.
What's Coming Next
Readability isn't something you finish improving in a single pass. Going forward, we plan to keep reviewing things like text size, color choices, and overall clarity, step by step. We'll work out the specifics gradually, and we'll let you know whenever there's an improvement.
