New co-branded portal delivers instant global eSIM connectivity in 200+ destinations, complete with an exclusive launch discount for Consumer Cellular subscribers
Airalo, the world’s largest travel eSIM platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Consumer Cellular, one of the largest and most recognized mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) in the United States. Through a new co-branded portal, Consumer Cellular’s
4.5 million subscribers can now seamlessly access and purchase Airalo travel eSIMs for international coverage across 200+ destinations worldwide.
To celebrate the launch, all Consumer Cellular and Airalo customers, both new and existing, can enjoy 15% off any eSIM package through October 31, 2026. The discount is automatically applied at checkout when purchasing through the official co-branded portal or by using the designated promotional coupon code.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in Airalo’s expansion across the telecom ecosystem, proving how MVNOs and mobile operators can leverage Airalo as a flexible, high-value addition to their product lineup. By integrating Airalo’s global coverage, wireless carriers can solve the persistent problem of international roaming, providing their customers with connectivity tailored to their travel needs rather than facing unpredictable roaming costs.
“Partnering with an industry leader like Consumer Cellular proves that travel eSIMs are a natural,
high-value addition to any carrier’s existing offerings,” said Brian Butts, Director of Partnerships, North America and LATAM at Airalo. “Instead of exposing subscribers to uncertain roaming fees, operators can now deliver reliable, affordable global connectivity. This partnership sets the standard for how easily MVNOs can improve subscriber loyalty and deliver peace of mind abroad.”
In the portal, Consumer Cellular users can choose from local, regional, or global eSIM plans with ease, no physical SIM card swapping required. Travelers can activate destination-specific eSIMs in minutes, enjoy affordable local data abroad, and eliminate post-vacation bill shock.
“Our customers tell us they want to stay connected when they travel, but they don’t want surprises on their bill,” said Ed Evans, Chief Executive Officer at Consumer Cellular. “International travel was a clear unmet need where our customers were either going without service abroad or paying more than they should. Partnering with Airalo closes that gap with a solution that’s affordable and backed by coverage in more than 200 destinations, exactly the kind of straightforward value our customers expect from us.”
