  "account": "Opera, the popular browser, has introduced a free 3GB travel eSIM to its Android browser, making it easier for users to stay connected while traveling. The feature, available on Android 10 and later, requires an unlocked phone that supports eSIM technology. This convenient addition allows users to switch between eSIMs quickly and easily, without the need to swap physical cards or wait for them to arrive in the post.\n\nThe 3GB data offer is available for travelers visiting 47 destinations across various countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Brazil, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Poland. Users can enjoy this free data without entering personal information such as an email address or credit card details. The eSIM is compatible with multiple apps, including Google Chrome, WhatsApp, Google Maps, and others, providing seamless connectivity during international travel.\n\nSetting up the eSIM is a straightforward process, taking just a few minutes. Users can access the feature through the Opera Android app by tapping their profile picture, selecting \"eSIM,\" and following the instructions. After choosing a destination country from the list, users can claim the 3GB allowance without registration. Once activated, the eSIM will work alongside the user's existing eSIM or physical SIM to provide web access, messaging, and other data-dependent services across the globe.",
