Quick picks for Europe
A regional Europe eSIM lets you cross borders on a single plan instead of buying one per country. It costs more per GB than a single-country plan, so it's best if you're visiting two or more countries. If you're only going to one country, compare its own page first.

| Moderate use (plus social media and photos) | about 0.5 to 1 GB a day |

FAQ
What is the best eSIM for Europe?
It depends on how much data you need and for how long. Sort the table by price per GB for heavy use, or by price for short trips. We currently list 32 plans from 3 providers for Europe.
Do I need an eSIM for Europe?
Not necessarily, but a travel eSIM is often much cheaper than your home carrier's roaming charges, and you can set it up before you leave.
Does my phone support eSIM?
Most recent iPhones, Google Pixels and Samsung Galaxy phones support eSIM. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. Check your phone's settings under mobile data or SIM for an option to add an eSIM.
When should I install my travel eSIM?
Most providers let you install the eSIM before you travel, then activate it when you land. Check whether the validity period starts at installation or at first connection.
Can I keep my normal number while using a travel eSIM?
Yes. On a dual-SIM phone your regular SIM can stay on for calls and texts while the travel eSIM handles data. Turn off data roaming on your home line to avoid charges.
