stc Bahrain has unveiled ‘rova’, a next-generation international travel app designed to transform how travelers stay connected abroad. Combining advanced eSIM technology with a traveler-first experience, rova delivers seamless mobile connectivity in over 190 countries, setting a new standard for digital travel solutions that prioritize simplicity, sustainability, and cost efficiency.
A Lifetime eSIM for Effortless Global Connectivity
The highlight of the rova app is its lifetime eSIM, which enables users to register once and enjoy uninterrupted global connectivity without changing SIM cards or re-registering in each country. With instant eSIM activation directly on smartphones, travelers can stay connected the moment they land — eliminating the need for physical SIMs, unreliable airport Wi-Fi, or costly roaming setups.
Users can also choose from a variety of destination-specific data packs, offering transparent pricing and flexibility across multiple regions. This approach not only enhances convenience but also supports environmental sustainability by reducing plastic SIM waste and optimizing dual SIM device usage.
Smart, Simple, and Cost-Effective
With rova, travelers no longer need to hunt for local SIM cards or worry about hidden roaming fees. The app guarantees instant connectivity and transparent pricing, making it easier for users to focus on their travel experiences.
As part of its launch promotion, stc Bahrain is offering 1 GB of data for 7 days at just 100 fils within the GCC region — available exclusively through the rova app. The app is now live on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, ensuring accessibility for travelers worldwide.
Powering Bahrain’s Digital Leadership
The launch underscores stc Bahrain’s leadership in digital innovation, positioning Bahrain as a regional hub for smart connectivity. By integrating sustainability with cutting-edge telecom technology, rova strengthens Bahrain’s global presence in the evolving travel-tech ecosystem and aligns with the growing demand for eco-conscious digital solutions.
“With rova, we’re redefining what it means to stay connected abroad — offering travelers a smarter, greener, and more flexible alternative to traditional roaming,” said an stc Bahrain spokesperson. “It’s more than an app; it’s a gateway to a seamless travel experience.”
A New Era of Travel Technology
Beyond convenience, rova represents a step toward sustainable global travel. Its eSIM innovation reduces environmental impact, supports digital inclusion, and delivers continuous connectivity for business travelers, tourists, and digital nomads alike.
As stc Bahrain continues to expand its digital ecosystem, rova stands as a symbol of how telecom innovation can make travel more intelligent, affordable, and environmentally responsible — paving the way for the future of connected journeys.
