I just launched PuraSIM, a small travel eSIM store focused on Spanish-speaking travelers.
The idea came from a simple problem: when people travel abroad, they often leave mobile data until the last minute. Then they either pay expensive roaming, buy a physical SIM at the airport, or get overwhelmed by eSIM websites that feel too technical or too broad.
I want PuraSIM to feel simpler.
The first version is basic: a Shopify store with country-specific eSIM pages, setup guides, and clear explanations around how eSIMs work, how much data travelers need, and how to avoid roaming fees.
Right now I’m focusing on:
- SEO around country-specific eSIM searches
- useful Spanish travel connectivity guides
- simple onboarding for non-technical users
- testing whether “eSIMs for Spanish-speaking travelers” is a strong enough niche
One thing I’m thinking about adding is an AI eSIM finder: you enter your destination, trip length, phone model and data habits, and it recommends the right plan instead of making you compare a bunch of options manually.
I’m still early, so I’d love feedback from other indie hackers:
Would you position this more around “cheap roaming alternative”, “easy travel internet”, or “eSIMs for Spanish-speaking travelers”?
Also, if you’ve built SEO-driven ecommerce before, I’d love to hear what you’d focus on first.
I'd be careful not to position this around the product category.
Most travelers aren't looking for an eSIM—they're trying to avoid the moment they land and realize they have no internet. That problem is a lot more relatable than the technology behind the solution.
