Novaturas starts cooperation with the Lithuanian start-up MoreMins and introduces new service to customers

Novaturas, the largest tour operator in the Baltic States, is launching a new service with Lithuanian start-up MoreMins to make it cheaper and easier for its customers to use the internet outside the European Union. The company provides travellers with a multi-country eSIM mobile internet service that works on the networks of major operators in different countries. This allows you to enjoy high quality and low-cost mobile data throughout your trip, both in non-EU and EU countries. According to experts, this solution is much more secure than the WI-FI networks normally available in public places.

A solution that will bring convenience during the trip

Travellers often face high data roaming prices and poor connectivity when staying outside the EU, and trying to buy a SIM card from a local operator can be a real challenge. They are often sold in shops of dubious reliability, which are difficult to find without the help of the internet. However, even if you do find a point of purchase, the seller may ask for your ID and take a picture of it, raising suspicions about the security of your data. The challenges often go beyond the purchase of a SIM card from a foreign operator: you have to remove the SIM card you are using from your phone, and sometimes even have problems connecting to the local network.

Hotels can also have problems if you only want to use the internet in hotels, where Wi-Fi connections can sometimes be poor, with speed or usage limits. Kristijonas Kaikaris, CEO of Novaturas, says that for some time now, it has been noticed that customers have been asking more and more questions about internet access during their trips, so it was decided to find an innovative solution.

“Some travellers are familiar with the high internet tariffs in non-EU countries, but it still comes as a surprise to less frequent visitors. The current prices often force us to use the internet without or with limited access, for example, only Wi-Fi connection provided in the hotel, which can be weak or erratic. But nowadays, the internet is becoming an integral part of travel, and the demand for it is growing – naturally, this is also true for our customers.

We are the first tour operator in the Baltics to introduce the eSIM mobile internet service, which will allow you to enjoy a cheap, fast and secure internet connection in all of our destinations, and even more importantly, in non-EU countries. In addition, as the region’s only locally-owned charter tour operator, we are delighted to be working with a progressive Lithuanian business – we are developing the service together with the start-up MoreMins, which will ensure its proper operation,” notes Mr. Kaikaris.
