We’re in the golden era of cryptocurrency with the rise of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Even meme-based currencies like DogeCoin are earning praise from the likes of Elon Musk!

And, even in countries where it is technically legal, there could be heavy restrictions.

Remember the good old days when you didn’t have to worry about monitoring your data use? Saving data was simple, all we had to worry about was call minutes and how many text messages we were getting.

Telecom spending is one of the biggest expenses for businesses. It includes the costs for the company’s cell phone plans and Internet services. This seems like it should be easy to manage but it can be quite difficult. There are a lot of changes within telecom spending with new innovations in technology, changes in plans, and usage patterns.

Selecting a mobile business plan has become incredibly difficult. Gone are those days where all you have are 4 major carriers that force you to play by their rules.

Over the last year, the term “eSIM” has become a part of our lexicon. But not everyone knows exactly what an eSIM is. It is not an electronic SIM card, as some of us think. eSIM is an embedded SIM card inside of your smartphone. Actually built into it. Or any other device that supports this technology. It is easy to activate an eSIM. You just scan the QR code, which is generated and then sent to you by your carrier.

It should become easier to travel with the arrival of eSIM technology. You won't have to use international roaming on your home carrier anymore. Which has some financial, traffic volume, and speed issues associated with it. You'll also free yourself from an aggravating search for rate plans at local carriers--in an unknown country. Now you can arrange everything prior to your trip. Search and select rate plans on the website of the carrier or that country where you plan to go. After you pay online, you get a QR code and go on your trip with an activated eSIM for travel.

Using your carrier's existing local SIM card is usually a bad idea. Service providers have excessive roaming clauses and a controversial practice of applying expensive roaming fees. There are very few exceptions.
