Europe eSIM

Europe eSIM: coverage, plans and travel tips

One eSIM for the whole trip

Buy one Europe plan, install it at home and use it from Lisbon to Warsaw. When you cross a border the eSIM moves to a partner network in the next country by itself — no new SIM, no new QR code, the same data balance. The plan is data-only: your home SIM stays on for calls and texts (turn its data roaming off to avoid charges).

Which countries every plan covers, and which only some do

All 21 Europe plans on this page work in the same 30 countries, including the UK, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland — the full list is above. Some plans add France, the Netherlands, Turkey, Ukraine, Moldova, Gibraltar, San Marino and Vatican City. France, the Netherlands and Turkey are named right in the plan row (“incl. …”), so you can see what a plan covers before you pay.

How much data you need

Maps, messaging, ride-hailing and social media use about 0.5–1 GB a day; video calls and streaming use much more. As a guide:

• A long weekend or city break: 3–5 GB — e.g. 3 GB / 15 days for $2.49.
• One to two weeks across several countries: 10–20 GB — e.g. 10 GB / 31 days for $6.49 (with France and the Netherlands: 10 GB / 30 days for $9.49).
• A month: 20–50 GB — e.g. 20 GB / 31 days for $12.99 (with France and the Netherlands: 20 GB / 30 days for $17.99).
• A semester, remote work or a long stay: 50–100 GB — e.g. 50 GB / 90 days for $51.99 (with France and the Netherlands: 50 GB / 180 days for $58.49).

The 1-day plans suit a stopover or a day trip across a border.

Unlimited data and calls

The Europe plans have a fixed data allowance, up to 100 GB. If the whole trip is in one country, take that country’s unlimited plan — no data cap and no fair-usage limit. It is sold for 50 European countries, for example France, Italy, Spain, Germany, the UK and Greece. Plans with calls and data are sold for 49 European countries on their own pages.

EU roaming or a Europe eSIM?

With a SIM from an EU country, “roam like at home” already covers the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, within your carrier’s fair-use limits — but not the UK, Switzerland, Turkey or the Western Balkans. Travelers from anywhere else pay their home carrier’s roaming rates or day passes. A Europe eSIM gives you prepaid local data at a fixed price either way. More in our guides to EU roaming rules and what “Europe” eSIM plans actually cover.

Not in the Europe plans

Serbia, North Macedonia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, Andorra, Monaco, the Faroe Islands, Belarus, Russia, Guernsey, the Isle of Man and Jersey are not listed in any Europe plan on this page — for these, pick the country’s own eSIM. Turkey is in some plans only — check the plan row.

Tip: install the eSIM over Wi-Fi before you leave and turn on data roaming for it when you land. Validity starts at the first connection in a covered country, so installing early costs you nothing.
