English
An eSIM for Cyprus is a digital data plan for the phone you already own. There is no physical SIM card, no airport lines, and no passport needed. Your plan is ready on your SIMAREA account before you even leave home.
It works safely alongside your normal SIM. You keep your own number for calls and important text messages. Your data goes through the SIMAREA plan. Just turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid high bills.
Every plan here uses more than one partner network. Your phone joins one when you arrive and can switch to another if the signal weakens.
If you stay longer, top up your current plan with more data. You do not need to buy a new one.
What it is not: a local phone number. If you need a number for verification codes, see virtual numbers.
Cyprus eSIM on Epic and Vodafone
5GMobile data for a week in Paphos or a winter in Limassol, on two networks marked 5G. Days count from each plan's first connection in Cyprus, so you can install it before your trip.
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for Cyprus: after its daily full-speed allowance it keeps you connected at a lower speed, and it is billed per day for the days you choose. Fixed plans are one price for the term shown. Nothing on this page is an estimate.
How to get mobile data in Cyprus
Set it up at home the night before. Your eSIM waits quietly until you arrive.
Pick eSIM plan
Choose how long you are there. The day pass is billed per day, so the term is yours to set.
Pay, then scan
Charged from your balance, which you top up with crypto. Your QR code is in your dashboard once the order is paid.
Turn it on when you arrive
Turn on data roaming for your SIMAREA plan when you arrive, and it joins a partner network.
What to know about an eSIM for Cyprus
The specifics that decide whether a travel eSIM is useful once you're actually there.
More than one network
Every plan here lists more than one partner network. If one gets weak, your phone can switch to another.
Set up before you go
No SIM card store, no passport check. Install it at home, then turn on data roaming for it when you arrive.
Hotspot sharing
Share your internet with a laptop or a friend, if your plan and phone allow it.
Keep your own number
The eSIM is just for internet. Your normal SIM still receives calls and important bank codes. You can use both at once.
Keep using the same eSIM
Staying longer? Top up the same plan with more data from your dashboard. No need for a new QR code.
If it does not work
Not installed or connected yet? Ask for a refund within 30 days of buying it. Installed but not working on any of its networks? Support helps, and refunds you if it cannot be fixed.
Cyprus eSIM with a Belgium exit
Each Cyprus plan connects to Epic and Vodafone, both marked 5G in the catalog, from the day pass up to the 180-day plan. PrimeTel isn't on them.
Traffic on these plans exits in Belgium, on every one of them. Sites you visit see an address in Belgium, not in Cyprus. The IP address row under Technical specs shows the same for the plan you pick.
Day pass, a month, or 180 days in Cyprus
The day pass runs at full speed for its 1 GB a day, then holds 512 Kbps until the day resets. Fixed data comes as 1 GB for 7 days, 2 or 3 GB for 15 days, 3, 5, 10, or 20 GB for 30 days, and one long plan, 50 GB for 180 days.
All of them top up on the same eSIM, and the top-up adds data, not days: a 30-day plan still ends when its term does, however much you add.
Cyprus and Greece on one eSIM: which networks?
No Cyprus plan stretches to a second country, and the Balkans eSIM doesn't name Cyprus. Every Europe eSIM list does, along with Greece, Malta, and the United Kingdom, but the list you choose changes what you get in Cyprus:
- 33-country rows: the same Epic, Vodafone, and Belgium exit as the Cyprus plans.
- 35-country rows: Epic and PrimeTel, exit in France, the Netherlands, or the UK.
- 34- and 41-country rows: PrimeTel and Vodafone, exit in the UK or Norway.
- 31-country rows: Epic, PrimeTel, and Vodafone with a Netherlands exit. Sizes are 10, 20, or 50 GB for 31 days; the days begin at installation, with no top-ups.
Global 130 uses PrimeTel and Vodafone here, also with a UK or Norway exit. For a single extra stop, a Greece plan next to this one is the other option.
Questions about a Cyprus eSIM
Why does my Cyprus eSIM show an address in Belgium?
Because every Cyprus plan routes its traffic through Belgium. Sites see an address there even while your phone is on Epic or Vodafone in Cyprus.
Can I get PrimeTel on a Cyprus eSIM?
Not on the Cyprus plans. PrimeTel comes with Global 130 and with the 31-, 34-, 35-, and 41-country Europe lists; the 33-country list leaves it out.
Does the day pass stop after 1 GB?
No, but it isn't unlimited at full speed either. The first 1 GB a day is at full speed, and after that the eSIM continues at 512 Kbps until the day resets.
Is a Cypriot phone number included?
No. The eSIM only carries data, with no number, calls, or SMS, and your regular SIM stays as it is. If you need a number that receives SMS, that's a separate rental: see virtual numbers.
Can I cancel if my trip changes?
Ask for a refund within 30 days of purchase if the eSIM hasn't been installed or connected. After it's installed or used, it can't be refunded, including when the phone turns out to be incompatible; if it fails on every supported network in Cyprus, support fixes it or refunds it. An unused plan stays valid for 180 days.
