Free 1GB Travel eSIM (Kolet) — Real, No Card
Kolet is a legit French eSIM company (KLM / Vietnam Airlines partner) handing new users 1GB of free mobile data for a trip. Genuinely $0, no credit card. Here’s the honest how-to for both the “what’s an eSIM?” crowd and the pros ![]()
First — will your phone even work?
An eSIM is just a digital SIM built into your phone — nothing to insert. Quick check: dial *#06#; if an EID number shows up, you’re good. Rough support cutoff:
- iPhone XS / XR (2018) or newer
- Samsung Galaxy S20 (2020) or newer + all Z Fold / Z Flip
- Pixel 3 (2018) or newer
(Heads-up: carrier-locked phones and China-market models often have no eSIM — check before you bother.)
Grab it — 5 steps
- Open the redeem link → pick your destination country + enter your email → tap Redeem Gift.
- Install the Kolet app → iOS · Android.
- Log in with the same email → confirm the code (it arrives by email, not SMS — a number is asked but email is the real check).
- Your 1GB gift appears in the app → install the eSIM before you fly (needs Wi-Fi to set up).
- It starts when you land and use your first MB abroad.

The honest part — so nobody’s caught out
- It’s 1GB, valid 48 hours from first use — a taster for a trip, not a month of data.
- One country only → the free GB works only in the destination you picked at checkout (not “any country” at once).
- One gift per person → farming extra emails to reclaim is against Kolet’s terms.
Pro move — get more than 1GB
At checkout, invite your co-travelers — each one gets their own free 1GB (each needs their own email + eSIM phone). That’s the real way to stack it for a group trip.
