When a discount is applied, the original price and the amount you actually pay are now shown in the same currency, so you can see at a glance how much you're saving. We also fixed a related issue: if you arrived from an external link, you could sometimes land on a page in a different language than the one you had selected.
Neither change affects what you're charged. Both simply make the screen reflect what's really happening.
What we improved
1. Discount prices now match your selected currency
If you switched the display currency and a discount was applied, the struck-through original price could stay in the site's default currency while the payable amount showed in yours — two currencies side by side on the same line. Both the before and after prices now appear in the currency you've selected.
2. Language pages stay consistent
Arriving through a link from an external site, you could be reading in English and then find the checkout screen switched to another language. We changed how those links are handled so you stay in the language you started in.
3. We keep checking that the display matches the charge
We've set up a routine check that compares the amount shown on the pre-purchase confirmation screen against the amount actually charged, so if something drifts, we notice it early.
Why this mattered enough to fix
The screen you look at right before paying is where hesitation lives. If currencies are mixed there, you can't tell whether the discount applied or what you're ultimately paying. The numbers may be correct, but a display you can't read is still a reason to worry.
The same goes for language. If you've been reading in English and the final confirmation screen appears in another language, you're being asked to commit without being able to check what you're committing to. That alone is enough to abandon a purchase — and more to the point, it's just unhelpful. In both cases we didn't want to settle for "the amount is correct, so it's fine." The display itself was the thing to fix.
What's easier to check before you buy
- You can see the discount at a glance. Before and after prices sit in the same currency, so the difference reads directly.
- You can stay in your language all the way through. If you're browsing in English, the confirmation screen stays in English.
- You can trust the confirmation screen as your reference. We keep checking that what's displayed matches what's billed.
You can browse plans for your destination on the eSIM comparison page, filtered by country, data allowance, and number of days.
How to read eSIM pricing
While we're on the subject of display, here are a few things worth knowing when you're choosing an eSIM for travel — they save a lot of second-guessing.
Displayed currency vs. what your card is charged
Even after you switch the display currency on the site, the amount on your statement may not match exactly. Your card issuer applies its own conversion rate, and some cards add a foreign transaction fee. Knowing that a gap is possible means you won't be caught off guard when the statement arrives. Choosing the currency your card is issued in, where available, generally keeps conversion differences to a minimum.
"Per day" figures vs. the total
Some plans show an approximate per-day cost. What you actually pay is the total, so it helps to see how the total moves as you change the number of days — that's what makes plans comparable.
Data and days both move the price
For the same country, the price changes with the combination of data allowance and duration. Longer stays tend to bring the per-day figure down, but buying data you never use isn't refunded as leftover credit. Choosing from both your trip length and a realistic sense of your daily usage is the way to avoid paying for nothing.
Reading a discount
Check that the original and discounted prices appear in the same currency, and confirm the final amount payable. Pricing and plan terms can change, so the surest approach is to check the current display on the comparison page before you buy.
What's included — and what isn't
Bloomy eSIMs are data-only: they don't come with a phone number, and they don't support SMS or voice calls. You can keep using messaging and calling apps such as WhatsApp over data. Plans are subject to a fair use policy, and actual speeds and connection quality vary depending on the local network, your device, and where you are.
What we care about when it comes to display
A lot of Bloomy customers are using an eSIM abroad for the first time. That's exactly why anything involving money should be readable at face value — no mixed units or currencies, and the number on the confirmation screen being the number you pay. We think working through unglamorous details like these, one at a time, does more to make people comfortable choosing us than any flashy feature would.
What's next, and related pages
We'll keep refining how things are displayed. If you come across something that reads unclearly, we'd genuinely appreciate hearing about it.
