Best SIM Cards In Switzerland For Tourists

When you first land in Switzerland as a tourist, you will want to get access to Swiss mobile data as soon as possible.

Sure, there is wifi in your hotel or Airbnb, and maybe even in the cafe, but if you want to be able to surf on the go, you need mobile data. That means you need a Swiss SIM Card.

Switzerland has three main providers: Swisscom, Sunrise, and Salt . And below I have collected all of the relevant information on their Prepaid SIM cards for Switzerland.

The best option for visitors or tourists though is to get your 4G data sorted out before you leave home!

Table of Contents

Have 4G Data As Soon As You Land In Switzerland

Maybe you want a SIM card before you leave to save on the hassle and ensure you have access to 4G as soon as you land.

There are two ways you can do that.

• Buy a SIM card online and have it sent to you before you leave
• Buy an eSIM card online and activate it on your phone (no physical sim card required!)

Data As Soon As You Arrive

Don’t waste time or money on SIM cards. Get an eSIM delivered electronically and save money at the same time.

Buy A eSIM Card for Switzerland

I prefer option 2 and I use eSIM cards all the time when I travel :> And actually have a whole post on eSims for Switzerland

Esims have a lot of positives:

• They are easy to activate (via a QR code)
• They run in parallel to your standard SIM (you get to keep your number) and use another eSIM in your phone. It’s great!

There are lots of eSIM options for Switzerland, but my favorite hands down is Airalo . They have lots of data options for Switzerland and Europe in general, and their service is top-notch. (You can read a full review on Airalo )

You can get mobile data for as little as around $2 per GB and it is on the Sunrise network, one of Switzerland’s best mobile providers.

Buying A Swiss SIM Card Before You Travel

There are some great online providers that will send you a SIM for Switzerland before you leave home.

Here are some of the companies you can check out if that is the option you prefer:

Best Swiss Prepaid SIM Card Options

Swisscom Prepaid SIM Cards

Swisscom is the original telephone company in Switzerland, so they have the best network (more on that below). In my experience, you will find you get mobile reception almost anywhere you go in the country, even on hikes in the Alps.

So, they are probably one of the best options when it comes to getting a Switzerland SIM card if you want to always have 4G available.

When I asked the Swisscom attendant, he said the following are the options they have for prepaid SIM cards for Switzerland. It comes down to pay-per-use vs payment for unlimited everything for a specific timeframe.

inOne mobile prepaid SIM Card

• Basic – Calls 0.29/min, SMS 0.15/SMS, Internet 2.−/day
• go (5 CHF / 30 Days) – Calls 0.29/min, Unlimited SMS, Unlimited data with 128 kbit/s

Prepaid Flatrate (Unlimited Calls, Unlimited SMS, Unlimited data)

• 7 days for 20 CHF
• 30 days for 65 CHF
• 90 days for 150 CHF

You can also maintain your data or add additional options via your Swisscom Cockpit . It’s way easier this way. I have done it before with many other mobile providers. You can do it from the web on your phone or laptop.

Or, if you just want to quickly add credit online, you can head to this page .

Best switzerland esims compared (for your next visit), sunrise prepaid sim cards.

Sunrise also has some worthwhile prepaid SIM card options you can check out. They have a one-time fee of 19.90 CHF or the SIM card, but keep in mind that includes 20 CHF credit, so in essence, it is free.

The two main options they have are a daily payment of CHF 2.5, or a per-use payment. They also have a Europe-wide data-only option too. Once you have a Sunrise card you also get access to free mobile data on SBB trains too.

Prepaid Unlimited

• 24 hours of Unlimited data, calls, SMS – 2.5 CHF

Prepaid Airbag

• Data – 1.20 CHF a day for 100 MB of 4G
• SMS – 0.20 CHF per SMS
• Calls – 0.30 CHF/min (max 0.60)

Unlimited Europe

• 40 GB data in Europe – CHF 49.90 30 days

Salt Prepaid SIM Card

Salt is a newer provider in Switzerland, so its network is not as good as Sunrise’s or Swisscom’s. However, it is still pretty good and it will cover you in most major destinations. Just not in more remote areas.

According to the shop attendant, the Prepaid SIM card from Salt is quite simple. You get a Prepaid sim card for FREE with 10 CHF credit included. After that, you have to top it up with credit.

Their rates are as follows:

• Calls: 0.49/call (60 min max.)
• SMS: 0.12/SMS
• Unlimited data: 1.99 CHF/day
• 100 MB for CHF 3
• 500 MB for CHF 9
• 1 GB for CHF 15

You can only use the data in Switzerland, like with all the other prepaid SIM cards from the competitors.

Buying A SIM Card at the Zurich Airport Or In A City

When you land at Zurich Airport there are a whole bunch of shops as you exit the terminal and head towards public transport in the main building. Inside that building are quite a few places to get a SIM card, including all three major mobile network operators, and a mobile phone shop:

You can also find the same stores in most major towns and cities in Switzerland. That way, you can get firsthand advice on which SIM card is best for your situation and also get help with the activation process.

My Recommendation For Mobile Data

I travel a lot and am probably writing this while on the road. When I am abroad I use eSims 95% of the time instead of going through the hassle of getting a local SIM Card. That is the same for Switzerland (if I did not live there that is :>)

Instead of going through the hassle of getting a local sim, losing your number, having to register, etc., why not just get an electronic SIM (eSim) which is a code essentially you load into your phone? All newer phones (iPhone X or later – so 5 years or so for most manufacturers) have it built in.

You just buy an eSim when you land, on the plane, or before you leave, and activate it when you arrive. It takes a minute or two. And you have data ready to go!

Here is my complete review of all eSim options in Switzerland !

Plan Your Trip to Switzerland

3 thoughts on “ Best SIM Cards In Switzerland For Tourists ”

It is very strange offer. On Monday, July 17th, 2023 at about 18:15, I went to Swisscom boutique at Geneve Cornavin railway station. I asked for this offer and they have refused to sell it to me as they required passport and they insisted that ID card is not enough. But most of the Europeans do not travel with passports across Europe because crossing borders and embarking planes or ships with ID card is accepted everywhere with few exceptions. So, this offer is for whom?

And what did you do next? Did you buy any sim card somewhere? Because i am travelling to Switzerland and I want to buy sim card

From my experience, eSIMs are a way better option – no lines, no shop visits, better deals, no id checks. check out my post on that https://switzerlanding.com/best-esims-mobile-data/

Salt at a Glance

Salt customer service, salt network coverage, salt cancellation, does salt also offer discounts for existing customers, salt mobile prepaid tariff, activation fee with salt, salt roaming options and prices, salt mobile phone subscription offers, salt combi-subscription offers, salt internet & tv subscription offers, salt black friday.

Salt is one of the three largest Swiss telecommunications companies and operates its own mobile network. With a market share of 16%, Salt is thus directly behind Swisscom and Sunrise. Salt operates the following networks: 3G (UMTS/HSPA), 4G (LTE), 4G /LTE Advanced, 5G and 5G+.

These Swiss mobile communications companies use the Salt network: Das Abo, Lidl Connect, GoMo, iWay.

Check Salt coverage

If you have any questions, Salt's customer service is at your disposal. According to the reviews, you will get quick and competent help with any problems. The telephone hotline is also continuously manned and easy to reach, and has a short waiting time of 00:49 minutes on average. You can reach the service nationwide by phone on 0800 700 700. This hotline is free of charge for Salt customers and is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. On Saturdays, the customer service opens from 9:00 to 18:00. From abroad, the service can be reached at +41 78 700 70 00. However, this hotline is not free of charge. 

For less urgent matters, forms are also available on the Salt website. The contact form is available for mobile, landline and business customers. You will usually get an answer within 24 hours, but it can sometimes take longer.

Salt is one of the few Swiss providers to operate its own mobile network. In Switzerland, Salt has a market share of 16%, making it the third-largest mobile network operator in the country. According to Salt, it operates the following networks: 3G (UMTS/HSPA), 4G (LTE), 4G /LTE Advanced, 5G and 5G+.

Strong 4G, weak 5G

Salt has a very good 4G network, which is very present especially in Swiss cities. Thus, the network operator is more or less on par with its competitors. However, the Salt 5G network is not very developed compared with the other operators. 

Salt 4G network

With Salt 4G services, more than 99.3% of the Swiss population is covered. Salt Internet is among the fastest in Switzerland, currently reaching a speed of 300 Mbps and getting faster all the time. The target, he said, is a speed of 750 Mb/s. Especially in the city, the network is very strong, but sometimes causes problems in the countryside. 

Salt 5G network

The Salt 5G network, on the other hand, is not particularly developed. Availability is only given in a few places. Salt did not start building the 5G network immediately like Swisscom and Sunrise and has not yet been able to catch up.  

There are many reasons to cancel your Salt subscription, and each one has different things to consider. Salt handles all cancellations - mobile and home - by phone. The customer service will give you any further information you need. 

The minimum contract periods are particularly important to note with Salt. These must be adhered to. If you fail to do so, you may incur high penalties. You can find out how high these are and what else you need to watch out for here. 

Table of contents

Cancellation of a Salt cell phone subscription

This is what you should do when you change your subscription, cancellation salt home subscription , fees for salt-home cancellation, return salt fiber box and apple tv, transfer salt home subscription to a third party instead of cancellation, what happens to your salt home subscription when you move house, salt fiber is not available at the new address, cancellation of the salt prepaid card.

The most important facts in brief: 

You can easily cancel a Salt subscription by calling the customer service hotline on 0800 780 100. They will explain to you how to proceed.

What you need to know when cancelling your contract with Salt

Cell phone subscriptions with Salt can only be cancelled after the minimum contract period has expired. At Salt, this is at least 12 months, but often also 24 months. The notice period is 60 days. With a notice period of 60 days to the minimum contract period, a cell phone subscription from Salt can therefore be terminated at the earliest. As long as the cancellation period and minimum contract duration are adhered to, there are no additional costs for the cancellation. If you want to cancel before the expiration of the minimum contract period, you have to pay a penalty fee for the early cancellation of the contract. This can cost several hundred francs. For this reason, it is advisable to wait for the minimum contract period. 

You want to switch to a new provider and keep your number? Then you should not simply cancel your current subscription. If you do, you may lose your number. In most cases, you can simply give your number to the new provider and request a number transfer. In most cases, the new provider will then also take over the cancellation of your cell phone subscription with Salt, but here, too, the minimum contract period and notice periods must be observed.

The Salt Home subscription includes fixed network, Internet and TV. For this complex combo deal, there is a bit more to consider when canceling than with the cell phone subscription. Just as with the cell phone subscription, a notice period of 60 days applies here as well, and the cancellation is carried out by calling Salt customer service on 0800 700 500. This competent department can be reached from Monday to Friday between 9 am and 12 pm and 1 pm to 5 pm. The contract will then be terminated at the end of each calendar month. When the Salt Home subscription is cancelled, the associated TV subscriptions are also cancelled. 

No termination fees apply until after 33 months. In any other case, there will be additional charges. If you want to cancel the contract after the first month, you pay CHF 198.-. After that, the fee is reduced by CHF 6.- per month. 

In some cases there are refunds

Certain reasons for termination allow you to request a refund from Salt. These include the following cases:

- Technical problems: 

If you cancel because the service was not available for technical reasons, you are entitled to a refund from Salt. Any premiums already paid for the period during which the service was not working will be refunded to you.  

- Death: 

If the contract is terminated due to death, no fees will be charged. 

Since the Salt Fiber Box and the accessories still belong to Salt during the term of the contract, they must also be returned at the end of the contract. Salt requires the entire equipment, including the original packaging, to be returned undamaged within 30 days of the expiry of the contract. There are two ways to do this. Either bring it to the Salt store of your choice or send it back by mail. The address for this is:

Salt Mobile SA

Meierhofstrasse 5

CH-6032 Emmen 

If you do not want to do this or if the device is damaged, Salt will charge a compensation fee of CHF 199.

The Apple TV 4K box, on the other hand, is included in the subscription. However, the device and accessories must be returned to Salt if the Salt Home contract is cancelled within the first 12 months. Alternatively, you can pay a compensation fee of CHF 99.95. Once this first year is over, the box is yours. That means you can keep it including accessories even after the contract ends. Any separately purchased box can of course also be kept after termination of the contract. 

A form is available on the Salt website for transferring the Salt Home subscription to a third party. This form must be filled out with the future owner and sent in together with copies of identification. Alternatively, you can hand in the document at a Salt store. To avoid delays in the transfer, any overdue balance must be paid. When changing the holder, a fee of CHF 49.95 will be charged to the new contract holder. 

When you move, you must of course also take your Salt Home subscription with you. For this, Salt must be informed at least five weeks before your move. To do this, call Salt customer service on 0800 700 500 and submit a relocation request. The corresponding department can be reached Monday to Friday between 9 and 12 and 13-17. These 5 weeks guarantee that the connection at your new address will be activated in time. You will then be informed of the activation date by e-mail. Delays of up to five weeks may occur if: 

- The fiber connection must be installed at the new address. 

- The lines are busy.

- Your new port is not labeled. 

If you had a Salt Home subscription via fiber optics before the move, then take your Salt Fiber Box and Apple TV 4K with you to your new address. However, if you had a Salt Home subscription via Gigabox technology, you must return all the associated equipment to Salt. Simply take it to a Salt Store. The new equipment will be sent directly from Salt to your new address. Note that any access data and video recordings cannot be kept.

Once at your new address, you can easily log back into the services using your old access data. If you have switched from Salt Home by Gigabox to Salt Home by fiber, you will pay a switching fee of CHF 49.95. 

If there is no fiber connection at your new address, you can switch to Gigabox. If you do not want to do this, you can cancel the Salt Home subscription and only have to pay a disconnection fee of CHF 99.95 at the most, instead of the usual cancellation fee of up to CHF 198.

Cancellation is not necessary in this case. Salt automatically deactivates a prepaid card as soon as no chargeable activities have taken place within 390 days and no credit has been loaded. You then have 45 days to reactivate the SIM card by topping it up with at least CHF 10 credit. Without a recharge, the card will be permanently deactivated after 45 days. 

With many cell phone and Internet providers, only new customers ever benefit by signing up for the first time and paying a discounted monthly rate for the first 12 or 24 months of the contract.

However, Salt also rewards loyal customers: When a subscription is renewed, the existing customer gets a discount on a new cell phone. If the old cell phone gives up the ghost, or one simply wants to adapt to the new technology a bit, then Salt offers a new phone for a surcharge of CHF 10.00 / month when the contract is renewed (usually 24 months).

With the Salt Mobile prepaid rate, you have full cost control without a basic fee and can top up your credit as you wish. You can easily top up the credit online. Calls, SMS and MMS are subject to charges. Data packages for Switzerland and abroad must also be purchased. The data volume is then valid for one month.

In order to pay for the SIM card and activate it, CHF 59 is due when a Salt subscription is taken out. If existing customers order a new cell phone with an extension of the contract period of 24 months, then of course this activation fee no longer applies.

Don't forget: On alao you will not only find great discounts on subscriptions, but also save on activation fees. They are completely waived with us!

Salt offers customers numerous roaming options. Depending on whether you only want to surf, only want to make phone calls or both, you can choose a suitable package with Salt or simply pay the standard rates. 

Roaming Data Packs

The Salt Data Packs are valid for 12 months. As soon as the data is used up, you can buy a new one. The Data Packs can be purchased online and activated directly.

The right Salt subscription for your needs

The Salt Fiber subscription is a complete package for the home: The combination subscription includes Internet, TV and a fixed network connection. The following services are included in the Salt Home offer:

Salt Fiber Internet

The Salt Home Internet subscription includes a Salt Fiber Box. With the Internet Box you can surf at home with fast Internet: With the Salt Internet subscription, transfer rates of up to 10 Gbit/s are possible (Ethernet). The Internet connection is made possible via WiFi for mobile devices and via Ethernet connection. Here, the transmission is not via radio, but via Ethernet cable, to which the router can be connected with your devices.

Both data transmission technologies are controlled via the Salt Fiber Box.

Salt Fiber Fixed Network

With the Salt Combi subscription, you also get a fixed network connection. You benefit from unlimited calls to the fixed and mobile networks in Switzerland. You can call abroad at the usual tariff rates.

Salt Fiber TV

If you choose a TV subscription, you can choose the language of the TV service when you select it. The Salt Fiber subscription provides you with more than 250 channels at no extra charge. You can record up to 500 shows in the cloud.

In addition, there is the live pause and replay function of seven days as well as access to the streaming service HollyStar, which contains over 10,000 videos and series.Thanks to the free TV

box from Apple included in the subscription, this TV experience can be made possible. The matching Salt TV app is available free of charge in the App Store.

The activation fees of the Salt Fiber subscription are:

1 Franke: without TV service (only connection, administration, complete material)

99.95 francs: with TV service.

98.95 francs: subsequent activation of TV services.

As a Salt mobile customer, you pay CHF 39.95 per month for the combined subscription. The price without a Salt mobile subscription is CHF 49.95 per month.

Salt TV Packages

In order to offer a greater variety of programmes, Salt offers additional TV packages. For example, you can add Sky packages and international channel packages.

Many were excited when Salt launched its Salt Fiber offering - a particularly fast Internet service for the home - in Switzerland. Before Salt Fiber, the maximum speed offered among all providers in Switzerland was 1,000 Mbps. Salt, on the other hand, suddenly offered a speed of a whopping 10,000 Mbit/s. Such a mega speed sounds very sexy, of course, but actually 50 Mbit/s is enough to watch movies on Netflix, send e-mails and stream music. 

The fastest Internet in Switzerland

With the slogan "Internet at the speed of light", Salt promises an uninterrupted entertainment experience without delays or annoying freezes. Downloading video games is more than fast, as UPC provides the fiber optic network for Salt , and with fiber optic technology, Salt can offer one of the most stable Internet connections.

Before ordering Salt Internet, however, you have to check whether Salt Home is available at all at your home address. This is because customers cannot take advantage of the full speed of the fastest Internet everywhere in Switzerland. However, Salt Home impresses in any case with its low prices and its Salt Mobile + Salt Internet + Salt TV combo offer.

Salt combo subscription offers

The Salt Home subscription is one of the fairest and best combination packages in Switzerland and is available to Salt mobile customers for CHF 39.95 per month. The price without the Salt mobile subscription is CHF 49.95 per month. However, an activation fee of CHF 99.95 is added. Anyone who wants the so-called "Fiber Box" or the "Apple TV 4K" installed at their home must pay an additional one-time fee of CHF 199.95.

The Salt Home subscription is a complete package for the home: The combo subscription includes Internet, TV and a fixed network connection. The following services are included in the Salt Home offer.

Salt Fiber Box

To take advantage of the enormous speed potential of Salt's Internet lines, Salt has developed the Salt Fiber Box, a mega-power-class modem. The Fiber Box is a further step by Salt to advance ultra-fast fiber optic technology. The modem is based on the so-called XGS-PON standard, which makes it possible to achieve Internet speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s for both downloading and uploading data. The distance between the sender and the receiver of the data is irrelevant. The Internet connection is enabled via WiFi for mobile devices and via Ethernet connection. Here, the transmission is not done via radio, but via Ethernet cable, to which the router can be connected to your devices.

The Salt Fiber Box was developed in Switzerland and fully complies with eco-design guidelines. It is a sustainable product with an intelligent power saving function. This reduces energy consumption as soon as the Salt Fiber Box is out of operation.

With the Salt Fiber Box, you can save an enormous amount of time when uploading and downloading data. This is not only a great benefit for Salt customers when watching TV, but also for streaming video games.

The Internet capacity of the "Salt Home" subscription is also sufficient for several devices at the same time. There are no waiting times or connection interruptions, even though all family members are on the Internet at the same time with their smartphones, TVs and PCs.

How much does the Salt Fiber Box cost?

The Fiber Box is not available for purchase. It remains the property of Salt. It is even expressly forbidden to open the box, and Salt demands the modem back at the end of the contract. This allows Salt to reuse the box several times or recycle it properly. Thus, the total lifetime of the device is increased. 

Salt's Salt TV offer includes an Apple TV 4K box. The Salt apps are already preinstalled on it. You can watch live TV on the Salt.TV app. The basic offer consists of the "TV Deutsch" package and contains 250+ channels. The same applies to the French and Italian variants. Other language packages or channels like Sky Sport can be added within the Salt TV app. The Salt.Video app gives access to a large selection of video-on-demand content. Here you can buy or rent movies and series and stream them directly. Some exclusive TV series are also available here just 48 hours after their first broadcast in the USA. 

A 4K resolution promises a Full HD TV experience in cinema quality. In addition, streaming is possible on up to four devices simultaneously. 

How much does Salt TV cost?

Salt TV offers entertainment for the whole family from CHF 39.95 / month (in combination with Internet and fixed network). Various packages can be added as an option: 

• German exclusive
• International packages (Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian, Bosnian, Turkish, Albanian, English Club TV)
• Sky packages

Salt Fiber fixed network

With the Salt Combi subscription, you also get a fixed network connection. The Salt FIber Box connects wirelessly to your home phone using DECT technology. You benefit from unlimited calls to landlines and mobile networks in Switzerland. You make international calls at the usual tariff rates. Salt also offers new fixed-line numbers free of charge. However, if you would like to keep your existing fixed network number, you can request a fixed network number transfer from your customer account at a later date.

Home | Travel | 8 Best Ways to Get Internet for Travel

When traveling abroad, get a policy from one of the  best travel insurance companies . Y ou can get a  5% discount   on Heymondo , the only insurance that pays medical bills upfront for you, HERE!

Having Internet for travel has become essential, either to use apps while you’re away from home or to stay in touch with family and friends.

When you travel internationally, you may still be able to use your provider’s data plan. However, the cost of roaming is usually pretty high, so it’s better to find an alternative when planning a trip that won’t result in a huge phone bill when you get back home.

To help you know all your options, this guide includes the best ways to get Internet on the road and abroad.

But before we begin, I’ll tell you that we almost always use the Holafly eSIM card , which is ideal if you only need Internet on your phone. We even have a complete guide to Holafly so you can learn more about this service.

5% OFF your international eSIM card

For wireless Internet for travel on your phone and laptop, we recommend the other options below. So, keep reading to see which is the best method for you.

How to get Internet for travel

There are several ways to get travel Internet , so this article will explain the different methods, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each. After reading through the options, you’ll be able to make the best choice for your trip!

In a nutshell, these are the 8 best ways to get Internet for travelers :

• Local SIM card
• Holafly eSIM card
• International SIM card
• Unlocked portable router
• Solis portable router
• Pocket Wi-Fi rental
• Public Wi-Fi network

1. Local SIM card, a traditional way to get Internet for travel

A local SIM card is one affordable way to get travel Internet . That said, you may end up spending a lot of time looking for a suitable SIM card once you get to your destination, so it’s an option I don’t consider on my trips unless I’m traveling for more than a month.

In most countries, you can find a local SIM card at various points of entry, including airports, train stations, and bus terminals. I recommend asking around at different kiosks to find the SIM card with the most data for the price.

Also, make sure that the SIM card is compatible with your phone and also allows you to share data with other devices. This last bit is important if you’re traveling as a couple or family and don’t want to get stuck having to buy multiple SIM cards.

2. Holafly eSIM card, the simplest way to get travelling Internet

The Holafly eSIM card is my favorite option for traveling Internet . You can purchase it even if you’re already abroad since the eSIM arrives via email. This is, by far, the most convenient option, and it can even be cheaper than some local SIM cards.

Holafly is the eSIM card we use when we’re on the go and need a secure Internet connection while traveling , and we have a Holafly discount code for you if you choose this option.

To activate your global eSIM card , scan the QR code sent to you by email. I usually take a screenshot of the QR code on my phone, then send it over to Dan so I can scan the code off his phone, but if you’re traveling alone, you can print it out.

Installing and activating this eSIM is as quick and easy as using a physical card, with the convenience of not needing a smartphone with a dual SIM card slot. Plus, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you won’t lose your normal SIM card. However, not all devices support eSIM cards , so I recommend checking this link to make sure your phone is compatible.

Again, Holafly is the option we always turn to when we want Internet to travel , and we’ve never had any problems. Except for in extremely remote areas, we’ve always had very good service.

3. International SIM card, another good way to get travel Internet

Another travel Internet option is to use an international SIM card . Rather than buying a local SIM card at your destination, you can purchase an international SIM card before your trip and get it delivered to your home or even to the airport, depending on where you’re traveling to.

We like SimOptions , which partners with several well-known mobile providers like AT&T, Orange, and Three UK. They offer prepaid standard, micro, and nano-SIMs, so any mobile device should be compatible. You can check here our SimOptions review .

These international SIM cards work in over 200 countries across Asia, North and South America, the Middle East, Africa, and Australia. As for the data plans, you can choose a package for the country you’re visiting (a European SIM card is also available.)

This is the best mobile Internet for traveling if you only want to use your phone abroad, and activating your SIM is as easy as unlocking your device and popping in the card.

4. Unlocked portable router, the cheapest travelers Internet

An unlocked portable router is another simple and useful way to get Internet for travel . Its primary benefit is that it allows you to connect several devices at once, including laptops. This makes it an ideal option for traveling with family or friends, as well as for work trips.

These portable routers are lightweight, so you can store them in a backpack or bag, and some are small enough for a pocket. Of course, if you choose to use one of these routers, remember that you’ll have to charge it every time you’re in your accommodation since the battery runs out after the day. It’s best to start the day with a full charge.

Also, keep in mind that you’ll need to insert a compatible SIM card with network coverage for your destination, and not all SIM cards work with this type of device. You’ll have to purchase the SIM card once you reach your destination.

Once you insert the SIM card, simply connect your phone to the router, just as you would with your home Wi-Fi network. We recommend this router , which we’ve heard is very reliable from several travelers who have used it.

5. Solis portable router, an ideal way to get Internet during travel

Another travel Internet network option is buying a Solis portable router . This is the perfect option for frequent travelers who need Internet on their laptops and travel to multiple countries. Rather than having to buy a new SIM card at each destination, they can use their Internet travel router to work from their laptop.

With the Solis portable router, you can have mobile data, just like at home, all without the need for contracts, SIM cards, and added fees. Simply choose the plan you want here , which includes plans for the U.S., Europe, and over 130 countries worldwide.

To securely connect to the Internet while traveling , you just need to download the Solis Wi-Fi app, select your plan, and connect to the network, the same as you would do with your home router. If you don’t like any of the Solis plans, you can also opt to pay per GB. So, no matter what you choose, this is a quick and practical way to have internet on the go.

6. USB dongle, a good way to connect to the Internet when traveling

A USB dongle also offers Internet when traveling , although I specifically recommend this option for those who will need to connect with a laptop more often than with a mobile device.

One of the USB dongles that I recommend is this one . It’s one of the best and generates a shared Wi-Fi network that simultaneously works as a portable router. That said, it must be connected to a battery to work, either to the laptop’s battery or a USB plug. So, it’s not the ideal Internet travel solution , especially if you want Internet access while sightseeing in a city.

Compared to the other options, this isn’t the best choice for travelers looking for a travel Internet package deal. USB dongles tend to be limited in speed and stability, plus you’ll also need to buy a SIM card at your destination.

On the other hand, if you travel for work and need Internet on your laptop, a USB dongle can be a suitable option, although I think the unlocked portable router or Solis plan is more practical.

7. Pocket Wi-Fi rental, a popular travel Internet option

Pocket Wi-Fi is nothing more than a portable router that you can rent for travel Internet . Some countries in Asia, such as Japan and Thailand, offer this option. In Japan, it’s against the law to buy a local SIM card if you’re not a Japanese resident, so your options are limited to an Holafly eSIM, the Solis router, or a pocket Wi-Fi rental at your destination.

One of the main benefits of a pocket Wi-Fi router is that you can get it from the airport, so you can connect to the Internet as soon as you land. You can even rent it ahead of time and pick it up when you arrive.

We have a whole guide to portable Wi-Fi for travel , but I’ll mention here that this is a great option for a one-off trip since you can rent the device by the day, week, or per GB limit. Also, it allows you to connect different devices, including laptops. On the other hand, it’s not a great choice if you’re going to be making additional trips, as you’ll have to return the router, then rent a new one.

8. Public Wi-Fi network, another good way to get travelling Internet

Finally, another travel Internet option is to connect to a public Wi-Fi network . The main advantage here is that it’s totally free and compatible with any type of device. However, Internet access may not always be available since public Wi-Fi is only found in airports, hotels, and some restaurants. This means that you won’t have Internet access while on the go or sightseeing.

Another drawback of a public Wi-Fi network is that it can be unstable regarding speed and connectivity, especially when many people are connected at once. There are also quite a few privacy and security concerns. However, if you’re taking a short trip that’s not going to require much Internet usage, it’s a decent option for staying in touch with friends or family, checking email, and browsing social media.

What is the best travel Internet option?

For occasional trips, and if you only want travel Internet on your mobile device, the best option is the Holafly eSIM card .

To be fair, this isn’t the cheapest Internet travel solution if you’re going to be at your destination long-term. In that case, it’s better to look for a local SIM card or, if you also need Internet on your laptop, an unlocked router like this one . A router is also a good idea for frequent travelers since it guarantees a strong connection, and you can create a stable Wi-Fi network to share data with others.

For those who need to work on a computer but are traveling to many countries in the short term, the Solis portable router is more convenient, as you don’t have to buy a local SIM card in each country you visit.

There are more specific options like the USB dongle, which are designed for those who want Internet access while traveling internationally , specifically on a laptop. The pocket Wi-Fi is good for occasional travelers who work from a laptop but aren’t allowed to purchase a local SIM card at their destination. Lastly, a public Wi-Fi network is suitable for people who don’t mind being off the Internet for most of the day.

Our experience with using Internet for travel

We use Holafly’s eSIM cards  to get Internet for international travel , and it’s always worked very well for us. It provides great coverage and allows me and Dan to access the web without any issues. Moreover, the eSIM arrives right in our email, so we can purchase it last minute.

When we travel in our van, we use the Solis portable router and pay by GB. I love that the data never expires, so we recharge it with more data any time we run out. We get good coverage, speed, and network stability. In fact, we’ll use this option when we travel to South America next year.

It’s clear that your travel Internet options will depend on the type of trip you’re taking, as well as your Web accessibility needs, so I hope this guide helps you choose the best solution for you! If you have any questions, leave me a comment below and I’ll try to help you in any way I can.

Have a great trip!

We will be traveling by motorhome through many states and will end up in Oklahoma and will be looking to purchase a home to be closer to our daughter. We need some way to connect to the internet for our PC (not laptop) for everyday use. Is this possible? Thanks for your help.

Hi, Yes, it’s possible with a Wi-Fi dongle or router.

I’m so glad I found this! I’m not tech savvy at all!! We are traveling to a beach house in Alabama without any type of internet connections so not streaming tv, no tik tok (gasp from my teens). We all have phones but from what I understand, service is spotty. Any suggestions on something we can use to maybe stream netflix or hulu and keeps the kids happy with access to tik tok? 🙂

Hi Christy, I’m partial to this Solis portable router , which we use when we’re traveling and need to work remotely. It gives us travel Internet on our laptops, so it could be a good option for your trip.

My daughter is travelling to Japan 1 week London 1 week Europe 29 day TopDeck Tour then Dubai 1 week. She needs internet on her laptop to do uni assignments, what is the best recommendation please ? Thank you

Hi Kim, We love using our Solis portable router to do remote work while abroad. Highly recommend it!

I only need the internet for travelling around England and maybe Scotland what is the best way to have the internet when traveling around these places.

Are you going to use the internet in the phone, computer or both? How long are you going to be in England?

With the info you provided, I can only recommend you check the Holafly SIM cards .

Let me know if you have any questions, Ascen

How to get internet when traveling

Reliable internet for travel is a must-have that you don’t want to leave home without. The last thing you want when you’re traveling abroad is to be lost wandering the streets of Rome at nightfall without access to Google Maps—will you really remember how to ask for directions in Italian? Probably not.

While you’re traveling, you can also use internet to find the best restaurants when you’re away from your hotel and check your pet cam to see how your cat is faring without you: all things you clearly can’t live without.

The good news is there are nearly endless options for getting internet service while traveling, but it does take some digging to find the one that’ll work best for you. Identifying the best option for your trip depends on how long you’ll be gone, how often you plan to use the internet, and where you’re going.

We’ve researched the three best options for common travel scenarios along with recommended providers for each, so you can check "internet" off your packing list and move on to the more exciting aspects of travel planning.

The best internet options for travel

Best overall: upgrade your phone plan.

• $5–$10/day or up to $100/mo.
• Upgrade on Verizon
• Upgrade on AT&T
• Upgrade on T-Mobile

Best for long-term travel: buy a SIM card

• $1–$5/day (depending on which country you visit)
• View Holafly Plans
• View Airalo Plans

Best portable hotspot: Rent pocket Wi-Fi

• Starts at $5/day (sometimes less if you rent in the country rather than before you leave)
• View TravelWifi Plans
• View GlocalMe Plans

Our three best options for internet while traveling are all portable—it’s important for your connection to be light and easy to transport. All of our recommended solutions are also on the more affordable end, but they can be scaled up in service quality and data quantity to meet your needs if price isn’t a priority for you. Understanding exactly what you plan to do with your connection and knowing where you’re going and how long you’ll be there will help you pick an internet solution that’s not too overpowered or underpowered for your needs.

Another thing to note is that our options are primarily geared toward international travel, although many of our solutions would still work for travel inside the US. If you’ll be traveling by RV or van, check out our guide on how to get internet in your RV to get more specific recommendations. And if you’ll be traveling domestically but don’t want to use your phone for internet, you can probably meet most of your internet needs with free Wi-Fi hotspots.

Are you traveling to Mexico or Canada? Every major cell provider (Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T) already offers unlimited talk, text, and data in Canada and Mexico if you have an unlimited phone plan in the US. So if you plan to visit either of these countries, check your phone plan first. You might already be set.

The fact that 60% of internet traffic happens on mobile devices (1) isn’t lost on the three major cell providers: if you’re always surfing the web on your phone at home, why should that be any different when you’re abroad—especially when your phone is also your camera? To meet this need, major providers offer simple and customizable solutions for upgrading your phone plan for traveling abroad.

We recommend this as the best option overall because it’s the most seamless. You won’t have to buy an additional device or SIM card, you can prep it ahead of time, and it’s easy to pay only for what you need. Plus, you’re already used to using your phone to look up everything anyway, so keeping that same resource available while you’re abroad is just one less thing to worry about. You can focus more on your trip and less on the logistics.

That said, this solution works best if you already have a phone plan with Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T. If you’re getting cell service through a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that doesn’t own its own infrastructure, like Cricket or Mint Mobile, the process of upgrading your phone plan to travel gets a little more difficult and expensive for the level of service you get in return.

As far as offerings for the three major carriers go, Verizon and AT&T both offer plans specifically for certain cruise and flight destinations. But for other travel, Verizon takes a more user-friendly approach through TravelPass , which is a super spiffy option to use your phone abroad exactly like you do at home. To get started, you simply text “TRAVEL” to 4004 and you’ll be set. Whenever you use your phone abroad, you’ll be charged $10 for the day. There’s no need to remove it once you get home either. It’s simply a feature you can use and pay for when you need it.

On T-Mobile, you’ll get built-in international roaming on every plan—the catch is your speeds will be slower than what you get in the US (the speeds are usually around 2G) unless you upgrade to a higher-tier plan. Not sure which upgrade option would be best for you? Each provider offers a walk-through guide where you enter where you’re traveling to and your current plan information, and then they tell you which upgrade would make the most sense.

Pros and cons of upgrading your phone plan

• Quick and easy to set up
• Pay only for what you need
• Use your phone just like you do at home
• No extra devices required
• Usually comes with unlimited data
• Keep your same phone number
• More expensive than buying a SIM card
• Not ideal if you don’t already have Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile
• Speeds are subject to signal availability where you’re traveling

Buy a SIM card

There are two types of SIM cards you can buy: local SIM cards that you purchase in the country you’re traveling to and eSIM cards that you can purchase in the US ahead of time. If you’re planning on traveling to one country and staying for a while, buy a local SIM card once you get there (just make sure you’re using an unlocked phone, which is a phone that’s not bound to a certain carrier). It’ll work just like a prepaid SIM card in the US—first, you’ll choose which carrier you want to buy the card from and then decide how much talk, text, and data you want on your card. Since it’s prepaid, you’ll just pay for what you want ahead of time rather than worrying about running up a hefty bill as you go.

This is by far the most affordable option, but it’s not worth the hassle if you don’t plan on staying for more than a week or will be hopping countries frequently. You’ll also want to investigate local laws in the country you’re traveling to before you bank on buying a local SIM card. Some countries are more stringent than others in what they require to give you a SIM card.

Learn more about SIM card availability and requirements in each country.

If you’d rather have your internet ready to go from the moment you land, go with an eSIM card. An eSIM card is basically just a built-in roaming data hotspot designed specifically for the country you’re traveling to, so you’ll have to buy multiple if you plan on hopping countries. But the convenient side of eSIM cards is that they don’t require you to change your phone number. They work digitally rather than physically.

Furthermore, eSIM cards are based in the US, so you won’t be able to make local calls within the country you’re visiting like you would if you bought a local SIM card for your phone. Once you sign up for an eSIM card, you’ll just scan a QR card to install it, and then you’ll be ready to roll. If you’re planning on visiting multiple countries in one trip, you can buy several eSIM cards (one for each country) ahead of time and then just activate them via QR code as you progress through your travels.

Best eSIM card providers

• Editor's choice: Holafly
• Runner-up: Airalo

Pros and cons of SIM cards

• Cheapest option overall
• Gets you the max speeds available in the country (roaming plans don’t get the same priority data)
• Can set up service ahead of time
• Know how much you’ll spend on data since it’s prepaid
• Need an unlocked phone for local SIM cards
• A hassle when hopping countries
• Service is dependent on local availability
• Some countries require personal identification numbers to get SIM cards

Rent pocket Wi-Fi

Similar to SIM cards, renting pocket Wi-Fi is something you can do in the US or when you arrive in the country you’re visiting. You can often get the best rates if you rent Wi-Fi after you get to your destination, but it’s easier to do this in some countries than others. Countries like Japan have pocket Wi-Fi widely available in vending machines, but that’s not the case in a lot of other countries.

If you opt to rent your pocket Wi-Fi via vending machine or through another retailer, you’ll need to drop off the device once you’re done. Many pocket Wi-Fi providers offer drop-offs at airports or other convenient locations. But if you don’t have access to a drop-off point, you can always mail it back yourself. Just know that if you don’t return your device within the return window (usually around 2 days after your rental ends), you’ll be charged an extra fee.

If you plan on traveling to multiple countries in one trip, it would make more sense to get your pocket Wi-Fi ahead of time rather than finding a new source of pocket Wi-Fi in each country you go to. The two best pocket Wi-Fi providers that we recommend both offer hotspots that work seamlessly across multiple countries.

Portable hotspots are also great for travelers who need to connect multiple devices to one connection. So, if you’re traveling as a family or group and everyone wants to post to Instagram at the end of the day, using a portable hotspot is a more affordable option than upgrading everyone’s phone plan—although there will be less speed and data available. Portable hotspots are also ideal for people who plan on working internationally because they can serve as a Wi-Fi network for your laptop.

Although pocket Wi-Fi is highly convenient, it’s not quite as convenient as just having everything working from your phone. Creating a hotspot from your phone is possible, too, if you have it included in your plan. Carrying around a pocket hotspot means you’ll have one more device to keep track of and charge, and you’ll have to pay more money for the level of service you’ll get in return.

• Runner-up: GlocalMe

Pros and cons of pocket Wi-Fi

• Longer battery life than your phone
• Works across 140+ countries
• Good options for groups of people who want to share a connection
• Highly portable
• Great for connecting additional devices, like laptops or gaming systems
• Lower data limits with slowed speeds once you hit the threshold
• More expensive for what you get
• Adds another gadget to your gear rather than just working from your phone

Tips on internet for travel

No matter which internet option you choose, you should always use a VPN (virtual private network) when using the internet away from home. Using a VPN can slow down your connection slightly, so it might be tricky if you’re on a connection that’s already barely getting by. But the extra layer of privacy and security is worth it—especially if you plan on accessing public or free Wi-Fi. You’ll also want to check the local VPN laws in the country you’re traveling to—some countries are stricter than others, and you don’t want to get in trouble on your vacation. Learn more about VPNs and why they’re important .

Use free Wi-Fi wherever you can

Even if you are paying for an internet plan while you travel, it’s not a bad idea to use free Wi-Fi options as often as you can to save on data and costs. You can make your money and your data go farther if you connect to free Wi-Fi whenever you’re back at the hotel or hostel or hanging out at a restaurant or cafe with a free network. Nowadays it’s standard practice for hotels (and even hostels and Airbnb rentals) to offer free Wi-Fi, but the speeds are always a bit of a gamble. If the Wi-Fi where you’re staying is sporadic, you can always trust the global franchises of McDonald’s and Starbucks to get you online. Both are available worldwide and both are known for their above-average free Wi-Fi.

Buy a portable charger

Whether you choose to use your phone as your primary source of internet or buy pocket Wi-Fi, it’s a fact that you’ll be burning through battery power quickly. Even the most proactive traveler can get caught in a snag if the sun saps your battery or if you spend more time hunting down your next museum than you expected. Keeping a portable charger on hand will be one more thing to carry around, but you won’t regret it. You’ll also need to bring a power converter for the country you’re traveling to—otherwise your portable charger won’t be of much use to you. Having both of these items on hand will add a lot of peace of mind, and they’ll definitely come in clutch once, twice, or more likely every single day of your trip.

Best Hotspot For RV Travelers - Stay Connected No Matter Where You Are

Posted by Olayinka Alawode on September 21, 2020

Your campground internet connection isn't living up to expectations. Is an unthrottled RV hotspot even a thing, or is it just a legend?

Dwindling internet access can surely dampen spirits, especially on an RV adventure. But despair not, for there are some fantastic hotspots for RV solutions to keep you connected. Let's explore three popular options:

• WiFi hotspots

Cellular Woes and Hotspot Limits

Cellular might seem convenient but can quickly burn through data, becoming quite expensive. To add salt to the wound, most providers throttle your speeds after reaching a certain usage limit. Try streaming your favorite show on that connection – it's far from ideal, isn’t it?

Satellite – A Pricey Affair

Thinking about a Satellite connection for your next big roadtrip? Well, prepare to dig deep into your pockets. While it promises a broader reach, it can be notably more expensive. And, believe it or not, some providers still cap your usage. Limits, limits everywhere!

The Best Hotspot for RV – WiFi Hotspots

This is where WiFi hotspots come to the rescue. Highly recommended for RV travelers , they're designed to offer a steady connection. But, there's a catch: Your RV hotspot might function seamlessly in one area, but once you enter a different carrier zone, its efficiency might plummet.

But, hang in there. It doesn’t need to be this tricky.

We present the solution – an RV hotspot that gives you the best of both worlds, eradicating the consistent struggle of acquiring a strong internet signal, irrespective of where you are.

Diving Deeper Into RV Hotspot Solutions

Hotspots generally connect to two types of networks – public or private. The public ones, like at campgrounds, are often oversubscribed, leading to lags. Then, there’s the private network option. Nomad Internet boasts such a network, serving over 20,000 satisfied customers with uninterrupted, high-speed connections. The choice seems obvious – a congested public network or a smooth-sailing private one.

Wondering how we manage to offer such a stellar service when others falter? We noticed the irregularities in signal strengths across different carriers, depending on the area. So, we partnered with all major providers, merging their strengths. The result? An RV hotspot solution that combines the power of all major networks. This ensures you always have a robust connection, regardless of which carrier dominates a specific region.

Why Choose Our Hotspot for RV?

With Nomad Internet , expect nothing but consistent, high-speed internet, even in the most remote locales. The cherry on top? We don't bind you with contracts. No credit checks, no hidden clauses, just pure, unadulterated internet access at an affordable rate.

If you ever find yourself in a campground with subpar WiFi, remember, there's a superior alternative. Nomad Internet is here to revolutionize your RV hotspot experience. With our private network infrastructure, say goodbye to bandwidth constraints and slow speeds. Explore our plans , find the perfect device for your needs, and reach out to get started!

The best online data removal services

Now that most of us rely on the internet for communication, banking, shopping, our jobs, and managing our social lives, the line between our physical and digital identities has worn thin. 

There is an unimaginable amount of data available online about us, and -- although we can and should  lock down our individual accounts -- there are times we'll feel compelled to take an extra step. One way to reduce our digital footprint and protect ourselves from being so easy to find -- or, potentially, to impersonate -- is to overhaul all the services we use .

Also: How to delete yourself from internet search results and hide your identity online

Old shopping accounts, archaic social media profiles, mailing list subscriptions, and more can clutter up our email inboxes and may, over time, become annoying or embarrassing. However, rather than trying to track the details of each service online that holds onto our data, there are services available dedicated to such tasks. 

What's the best service for deleting yourself from the internet right now?

Based on our extensive research, ZDNET's top pick for a service for deleting yourself from the internet is DeleteMe , which focuses on removing your information and taking it out of the hands of data brokers -- all for an affordable price. Below, you will find other interesting and valuable services that can help reduce your online footprint and remove your data from the internet in 2024.

Incogni features :  Data broker management | Data removal request follow-ups | Limited reports | Shadow profile detection | User education resources | 30-day money-back guarantee

Surfshark's Incogni is a great service for removing yourself from the internet and negotiating with data brokers. 

Once you've signed up, Incogni will send out removal requests to a vast array of data brokers and it will use applicable privacy laws -- including GDPR and CCPA -- to enforce these requests. 

The company says that most requests are handled within eight weeks, although some may require action by the user. Incogni will also tackle shadow profiles on your behalf. However, reports can be limited and may not provide as much in-depth information as some users may want.

Regarding pricing, Incogni offers monthly or annual plans. If you opt for a monthly plan, you will pay $12.99/month (tax included). Or, if you want to pay every year, Incogni's services will cost you $77.78, or $6.49/month thanks to a 50% promotion in effect at the time of this writing. 

If you're unsure of how much information you need to be scrubbed from the internet, you could opt for the monthly plan and consider a clean-up once or twice a year. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if you find there is less out there related to you than you first believed, this service is a great try-before-you-buy option.

What are the best services for deleting yourself from the internet?

The best service for deleting yourself from the internet is DeleteMe, which focuses on removing your information and taking it away from data brokers -- and for an affordable price. 

Below, you will find some of the main features of each of our recommendations. 

Which is the right service for deleting yourself from the internet for you?

The best service depends on your circumstances. But they can benefit anyone's situation, considering how often data breaches occur and how much of our personal information is now available online.

To help you decide, these are our expert recommendations for the best service for deleting yourself from the internet.

How did we choose these services for reducing your online footprint?

When choosing the best services for deleting yourself from the internet, there are a number of factors we considered, including:

• Price : While selecting the best services, we wanted to provide a range of options with different price points, including very affordable subscriptions and plans. 
• Removal : We included services that are able to scan, monitor, and check online databases and data broker repositories for your personal information -- and then work on your behalf to have it removed. 
• Protection : The services listed above also include protective features that may reduce the likelihood of personalized spam calls and phishing emails, as well as trolling, stalking, or identity theft. 
• Frequency : We also ensured that our recommended services can conduct frequent scans on your behalf. While you may just want one check and deletion, our information is constantly changing hands -- and this means that your data could reappear online. 

How do I delete myself from internet search results?

There are numerous steps you can take to stop your name from appearing in internet search results and through engines, including Google and Bing. However, it can be a complicated and time-consuming process. Below are some steps to help you get started.

• Use a search engine : Your first action should be to type in your name, nicknames, and online handles into search engines. This step will reveal the information that anyone can easily find on you and can help you plan your next steps, including which companies you may need to contact to have data removed or what accounts to delete.
• Lock down or delete social media accounts : Deletion is the nuclear option, but most social media platforms will have an option in settings to stop your profile from appearing in search engine results. As our profiles -- even if they are publicly limited -- can contain our photos, full name, and more, removing them from search engine queries can help reduce your online footprint. For step-by-step guides, visit Facebook ( here ), Instagram ( here ), and X -- formerly known as Twitter -- ( here ).
• Delete old, unused accounts : Whether shopping, social media, or forums, each service you use -- or have used -- may tie your online identity together through your name, nicknames, or PII, all of which could be at risk if a data breach occurs. If you do not want to use a dedicated service, consider going through your email and password managers to find active accounts. You will need to access them and request removal manually. 
• Clean up forum posts : Forums can often be overlooked, but if someone finds out the handles you commonly use, they may be able to find content connected to you -- which could now be completely irrelevant to the person you are today, or embarrassing if exposed. Delete old forum posts and preferably remove your accounts entirely. 
• Contact webmasters : If you have old accounts that do not have auto-delete features, contact webmasters directly to have your profiles and data deleted. This process will likely be easier if you are in an area covered by regulations such as the EU's GDPR .
• Request that people finder websites delete your information : People finder websites can be used as 'search engines' to look up someone based on their name, phone number, and other personal information, which can be a nightmare for privacy. Opting out and forcing the removal of your information from these organizations -- which may buy this information from data brokers -- can be an arduous process to perform manually, as it may require contacting each service individually to negotiate, and could require an understanding of applicable privacy and data protection laws to enforce your requests. Consider using a service such as Incogni or DeleteMe to do the legwork for you.
• Deactivate email accounts : Our email accounts tend to be the core platform that ties your digital profile together, but once they're gone, they're gone. When you are ready, delete your email accounts, as this will break the common threads between your online services. However, only take this step if you are sure.

Can I remove my personal information from Google search?

You can, although the process is limited and your request may be rejected if the company doesn't believe there are grounds for removal. 

You will need to contact Google using this form , with the options being a request to remove information you see or to prevent information from appearing in Google search results. Removal requests can also be made for:

• Exposed personal identifiable information (PII)
• Explicit images, including adult content
• Involuntary, fake pornography
• Images of minors
• Information from websites with 'exploitive' removal practices, such as those that demand payment

However, in some cases -- for example, a request to remove links to law enforcement statements or media articles concerning an individual and a prosecution -- Google may refuse as such information is in the public interest. If Google refuses, it will provide a reason for its decision. 

How can I protect my identity online?

There are numerous ways you can protect your identity online. Experts recommend securing personal information, locking down your social media accounts to friends and connections only, using antivirus software, regularly updating programs and software, and changing your passwords on a regular basis. 

Furthermore, if you find 'clones' of your identity -- such as a fake Facebook or dating app profile -- ensure you report the fake account to associated online services.

If you suspect your data has been leaked online, use the Have I Been Pwned service to see if you have been involved in any data breaches. 

Are there alternative services for deleting yourself from the internet worth considering?

While the services above for deleting yourself from the internet are ZDNET's top picks, there are many options available to consumers today. Here are some alternative options that might suit what you're looking for.

A major west-side road is getting a face-lift, but the travel lanes won’t go on a diet

The road that divides fairpark and rose park has seen 139 crashes and two pedestrian deaths in the past five years. new plans would preserve the corridor’s two lanes in each direction..

(Salt Lake City) A screenshot of a video showing how 600 North could look as the city presses forward on improving the corridor for different types of travel.

Salt Lake City is scrapping a proposal to cut down car lanes on a major west-side road.

Initially, the city proposed reducing the travel lanes along 600-700 North from two to one in each direction, but walked back the concept after some residents said in a survey and meetings that they still often get behind the wheel to get around.

New plans for the stretch that runs from Redwood Road to 800 West were released last week and call for taking advantage of the corridor’s width.

“We’ve used that extra space to create a design that adds high-quality infrastructure improvements like bike lanes and wider sidewalks that better support people who walk and bike while maintaining existing travel lanes for drivers,” city transportation engineer Kyle Cook said in a news release. “It’s not every day that we can do almost everything the community is asking for on a road project, but we have enough room to build the best of all options.”

The road’s redesign comes as the city works to improve alternate transportation options like biking and walking and reconnect the east and west sides. When it’s built, it will join a pedestrian bridge over the train tracks at 300 North and a future public art trail along 400 South as an upgraded west-side corridor.

Besides the two travel lanes in each direction along 600-700 North, the new plans show bike paths separated from the road, new landscaping and enhanced crosswalks with flashing lights. The proposal also calls for replacing aging pavement on the road and preserving on-street parking spaces.

In hopes of limiting crashes and slowing down cars on a road that currently sees at least 15% of drivers going at least 10 mph over the 35 mph speed limit, the design includes extended curbs and a median.

“I’ve had two kids involved in crashes on that road,” said Rose Park Community Council chair Kevin Parke. “We need to slow down that traffic.”

Fears about safety on the road are not unfounded. In the past five years, there have been 139 crashes and two fatal collisions with pedestrians along the busy street.

Respondents to a 2023 city survey largely agreed with Parke. Safety along the road and speeding were the most persistent concerns residents shared.

Those who responded to the survey also said they wanted additional trees, landscaping, better bike routes, upgraded sidewalks, traffic-calming measures and more lighting.

The city’s project team will be refining the design for the rest of the year. Construction is slated to begin next year.

While the city-led project won’t improve access across Interstate 15, a state-led proposal to widen the freeway does include pedestrian- and bike-friendly upgrades to the oft-maligned 600 North overpass .

Map: 4.8-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes New Jersey

By William B. Davis ,  Madison Dong ,  Judson Jones ,  John Keefe ,  Bea Malsky and Lazaro Gamio

Shake intensity

A light, 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck in New Jersey on Friday, according to the United States Geological Survey. The quake was felt across the New York City metropolitan area, and from Philadelphia to Boston.

The temblor happened at 10:23 a.m. Eastern about 4 miles north of Whitehouse Station, N.J., data from the agency shows.

As seismologists review available data, they may revise the earthquake's reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.

Aftershocks in the region

At 5:59 p.m. Eastern on Friday, a light aftershock with a magnitude of 3.8 struck near Gladstone, New Jersey, according to U.S.G.S. (The agency initially gave the quake a preliminary magnitude of 4.0.)

An aftershock is usually a smaller earthquake that follows a larger one in the same general area. Aftershocks are typically minor adjustments along the portion of a fault that slipped at the time of the initial earthquake.

Quakes and aftershocks within 100 miles

Aftershocks can occur days, weeks or even years after the first earthquake. These events can be of equal or larger magnitude to the initial earthquake, and they can continue to affect already damaged locations.

How this quake compares

The U.S.G.S. has logged 188 earthquakes with a magnitude of 2.5 or greater within a 250-mile radius of New York City since 1957. In that timeframe, only seven have had a magnitude at or above 4.5. Today’s quake had the third-highest magnitude in the available data.

Solar eclipse 2024: Follow the path of totality

Solar eclipse, what you need to know to watch monday's total solar eclipse.

The NPR Network

A stunning celestial event is visible across the country Monday, when the moon crosses directly in front of the sun: a total solar eclipse. For those in the path of totality, there will be a few brief moments when the moon completely covers the sun and the world becomes dark.

Traveling for totality? Skip ahead.

This will be the last chance to catch a total solar eclipse in the continental U.S. for about 20 years, so here's what you need to know to safely enjoy!

When is the eclipse?

April 8, 2024 there will be a total solar eclipse that crosses from the Pacific coast of Mexico through the United States.

What is totality and why it matters

According to NASA , totality will start around 11:07 a.m. PDT/1:07 EDT in Mexico and leave Maine at around 1:30 pm PDT/3:30 pm EDT.

Here's what time the eclipse will be visible in your region

Check out this table for when the partial eclipse and totality are visible in each region or check by zip code here.

A partial solar eclipse will be visible across the contiguous United States, so even if you're not directly in the path, you should be able to see something special, weather permitting.

Unable to get to totality? We'll be sharing highlights here from across the NPR Network throughout the day Monday if you can't see it in real time.

Where to see totality?

More than 30 million people live in the path of totality for Monday's eclipse, and many more in nearby areas.

Here's what we know about Monday's weather forecast.

Why totality matters

As NPR's Neil Greenfieldboyce explains , "During a total eclipse, the sky darkens suddenly and dramatically . The temperature drops. Stars come out. Beautiful colors appear around the horizon. And the once-familiar sun becomes a black void in the sky surrounded by the glowing corona — that's the ghostly white ring that is the sun's atmosphere."

Eclipse Science

For april's eclipse, going from 'meh' to 'omg' might mean just driving across town.

A partial eclipse, while still a fun experience, is hardly as dramatic. Those with a view of the partial eclipse will see crescent-shaped shadows like those seen here in 2017.

How to watch safely

If you plan to look directly at the eclipse (partial or totality), you're going to need eclipse glasses handy because looking directly at the sun without proper protection ( traditional sunglasses don't count! ) can be harmful to your eyes.

The perfect celestial soundtrack to the total solar eclipse

As NPR's Joe Hernandez explains, "Proper eye protection must be worn throughout a total solar eclipse — except for the roughly 3 1/2 to 4 minutes when the moon fully obscures the sun, a brief period known as 'totality.' (You will need to take your glasses off during totality to actually see it.)"

If you don't have access to eclipse glasses, you can get crafty with things you have around the house ( like some of us did back in 2017!) More on that here.

Traveling for totality?

The celestial event is driving a ton of domestic travel to the path of totality. If you're headed out of town to view the eclipse, here are some NPR Network resources for areas in the path of totality:

Texas The path of totality crosses through the Lone Star State, with some areas expecting a possible influx of visitors in the hundreds of thousands to catch prime viewing. Our member stations across the state have gathered local resources to help you navigate the region and the eclipse!

Kentucky Public Radio is covering the eclipse throughout the region, from Kentuckiana eclipse mania to the University of Louisville's free class about the celestial event. Keep an eye on WKMS for the latest local updates.

Missouri The southeastern corner of the state will be in the path of totality, crossing across towns like Whitewater and Ste. Genevieve. Head to St. Louis Public Radio for local coverage and resources. Illinois Carbondale seems to have won the eclipse lottery, being in the path of totality both in 2017 and for this year's eclipse . For resources from across the state, check out Illinois Public Media .

Indiana A huge portion of the state will be within the path of totality, giving cities across Indiana, including Bloomington and Indianapolis, prime viewing of the eclipse.

• Bloomington: Check out Indiana Public Media
• Indianapolis: Head to WFYI for the latest
• Fort Wayne: Just north of the path of totality, WBOI has resources for the Allen County area

• Cleveland: Head to Ideastream Public Media for the latest.
• Columbus: With the capital city just south of totality, head to WOSU for regional resources.
• Cincinnati: Totality will just miss the border town. Here are some tips from WVXU on how to navigate the eclipse in the region.

Pennsylvania Only the northwestern-most corner of the state will catch totality, with views from the lakeside in Erie being particularly well-positioned for a stunning viewing experience. WESA has more from across the region.

Plan to watch the eclipse from a wild mountain summit? Be ready for harsh conditions

New York Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Plattsburgh will fall under the path of totality on Monday. If you're planning to travel to the region for the best views, here are some local resources to stay safe and informed:

• Buffalo: Head to WBFO for the latest
• Syracuse: WAER has more on plans in the Salt City
• North Country: NCPR has the latest from across the region, as well as information on local viewing events to check out

Vermont The Green Mountain State will see totality across its most populous region, including Burlington and Montpelier, as well as the Northeast Kingdom on the Canadian border. Vermont Public has everything you need to know to navigate your time in the region to enjoy the eclipse safely. New Hampshire The northernmost region of the Granite State will be in the path of totality, providing prime viewing to those in Coos County. NHPR has info on local events, travel updates as well as special coverage with New Hampshire Public Television. Maine The last state in the path of totality in the U.S., much of Northern Maine will be positioned for prime viewing. The rural region is preparing for an influx of visitors, and safety officials are encouraging visitors and locals alike to be prepared. Maine Public will be covering the eclipse and has everything you need to know to navigate the region safely.

How to document the eclipse safely

With the ease of cell photography , it can be tempting to reach for your phone to document the eclipse and the moments of totality, but make sure to do so safely.

As NPR's Scott Neuman explains , "For starters, you'll need to wear eclipse glasses or similar protective eye gear while aiming your camera or even just observing the eclipse."

Feeling ambitious? Here are a few more tips.

Or if you're not inclined to capture the moment visually, you lean into some other forms of creative expression. Indiana, for example, has named Linda Neal Reising the official poet in the state for this year's eclipse.

As former NPR reporter and eclipse superfan David Baron shared with Life Kit , viewing totality "[is] like you've left the solar system and are looking back from some other world."

So consider focusing on being present in the moment to enjoy the celestial spectacle.
