Why Indians pay ₹25,000 in roaming — and how to avoid it
Every year, millions of Indians travel to Dubai for business, tourism, or transit. The moment they land and turn on their phone, Jio and Airtel start charging international roaming rates — sometimes ₹500-1,000 per day just for basic data.
A typical 10-day Dubai trip can cost you ₹10,000-25,000 in roaming charges alone. This is not a mistake. It's how telecom companies make money from travelers.
YAXΞ was built to solve exactly this problem. We're the first eSIM service where Indians can pay in ₹ via UPI — no forex conversion, no credit card needed, no hidden charges.
💡 Did you know? Over 10 lakh Indians travel to Dubai every month. Almost all of them either pay massive roaming charges or struggle with airport WiFi. YAXΞ gives them a better option.
