Our story

Travel was moving again. Connectivity needed to catch up.

ByteSIM was built digital-first: no plastic SIM, no store visits, no waiting. Choose a plan, install it before you fly, land connected.

The beginning

A simpler way to stay connected abroad.

In 2022, international travel was coming back, but staying connected abroad still meant airport SIM queues, tiny pieces of plastic and expensive roaming surprises.

Sunny Wong and Wilming Chou founded ByteSIM in Hong Kong so travelers could choose a plan online, install it before departure and connect on arrival. On October 19, 2022, ByteSIM delivered its first eSIM.

What began with one eSIM has grown into a global service built around one simple idea: wherever the journey takes you, getting connected should be the easy part.
