Airalo App Relaunch and fraenk Raises Included Data

Two digital mobile offerings used the quiet middle of the month to update their plans and apps. Airalo has relaunched its app to make eSIM management simpler, while fraenk, Deutsche Telekom’s app-only tariff, has increased the included data allowance for its customers.

Airalo focuses on digital eSIM tariffs for international travelers who need quick, short-term mobile access abroad. The refreshed app aims to streamline buying, installing and managing eSIMs from one place, reducing friction for frequent or spontaneous travelers. Learn more on Airalo’s site: airalo.com.

fraenk is an app-first mobile tariff from Deutsche Telekom that targets cost-conscious, app-native users. The recent update increases the data volume included in its plans, giving users more data without changing how they subscribe or manage their tariff. For details, visit fraenk.de.

• What changed: Airalo refreshed its eSIM app UI/UX and app flows; fraenk bumped included data amounts.
• Who benefits: Travelers who buy eSIMs on the go (Airalo) and app-native mobile customers looking for better data value (fraenk).
• Why it matters: Both moves reflect carriers and platforms optimizing for convenience and value as more users manage service via apps.

If you rely on eSIMs when traveling or use app-only tariffs, these updates could make buying and managing mobile data easier and more generous.

Discussion: Will you update your eSIM app or consider switching to an app-first tariff for more included data?
