eSIM for Europe travel: one plan across borders

Every fixed plan in the picker prints its width next to its data, for example "1 GB · 41 countries". On this page the widths are 31, 33, 34, 35 and 41, and they are all built on one core: the EU countries plus the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. Each width adds or drops a few places at the edges of that core:

• 31 countries: the core without the Netherlands. Only the three 31-day rows use it.
• 33 countries: the core plus Gibraltar.
• 34 countries: the core plus Turkey and Ukraine.
• 35 countries: the core without France, plus Ukraine, Moldova, San Marino, and Vatican City.
• 41 countries: the core plus Turkey, Ukraine, Serbia, North Macedonia, Gibraltar, Jersey, the Isle of Man, and the Aland Islands, and one more that depends on the row: Guernsey on the day pass and the 7-, 15-, 90- and 180-day rows, Morocco on the 30-day rows.

So two rows can both say 41 and still differ by one place. Select a row and the Coverage line under Plan details names every country on it; that line, not the count, is what to check against your route.

• Paris, London, and Geneva. France, the UK, and Switzerland share every row except the 35-country ones, which leave France out. The day pass covers all three.
• A stop in Amsterdam. The Netherlands is on every row except the 31-day ones.
• Istanbul with Greece or Bulgaria. Only the day pass and the 34- and 41-country rows list Turkey. In Turkey they connect to Turkcell.
• Southern Spain and a ferry to Tangier. Morocco is on the 41-country rows of 30 days (3, 5, 10 or 20 GB) and nowhere else on this page, not even the day pass. There it uses Orange Morocco on 4G.
• Croatia down to Belgrade or Skopje. Croatia and Slovenia are on every row; Serbia and North Macedonia only on the 41-country rows and the day pass.
• Rome, the Vatican, and San Marino. Italy is on every row; Vatican City and San Marino only on the 35-country rows, with Moldova.

Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Andorra, and Monaco are on no Europe row at all. The last section says where to find them.

The day pass uses the 41-country list with Guernsey, so France, Turkey, the UK, Switzerland, Serbia, and North Macedonia are on it; Morocco, Moldova, San Marino, and Vatican City are not.

Each day the first 1 GB runs at full speed. Past that, the connection carries on at 384 Kbps, enough to keep messages and maps working but not video, until the day resets and full speed returns. That is the honest meaning of "unlimited" for a Europe eSIM: you are never cut off, but only 1 GB a day is fast.

You set the number of days in the picker. They start at the first connection in a listed country, you can add days on the same eSIM, and traffic exits in the UK or Norway.

A fixed row is a set amount of data for a set term. On November 2, 2026 the page sold these:

• 7 days: 1 GB, in four widths (33, 34, 35 or 41 countries).
• 15 days: 3 GB, in the same four widths.
• 30 days: 1 GB and 50 GB on the 34-country list; 3, 5, 10 and 20 GB in each of the four widths.
• 31 days: 10, 20 or 50 GB, on the 31-country list.
• 90 days: 20 GB on the 34- or 41-country list, or 50 GB on the 35-country list.
• 180 days: 50 GB on the 34- or 41-country list, or 100 GB on the 35-country list.

All of them except the 31-day rows count their days from the first connection in a listed country and can be topped up on the same eSIM. Their speed includes 5G where the local network has it, with one exception: the 30-day 50 GB row runs on 4G and 3G.

The three 31-day rows follow other rules. Their days start the moment you install the eSIM, they can't be topped up, and their traffic exits in the Netherlands even though the Netherlands isn't on their list. Install one on the day you leave, and skip them if your dates might slip.

We don't rank the rows; the right one depends on the trip. Work through these in order:

1. Coverage. Write down every country you'll stay in or pass through, day trips included. Turkey, Serbia, Morocco, and Moldova narrow the choice fastest, because each sits on only one or two widths.
2. Daily or total data. If you can estimate your use, a fixed row is simpler. If your days swing between long train rides and museum days, the day pass gives a fresh 1 GB every day.
3. Networks where you'll spend the most time. Rows of different widths use different partners. In France, the 31-, 34- and 41-country rows list Orange, SFR, Bouygues, and Free Mobile, while the 33-country rows list SFR alone. In the UK, most rows use O2, Vodafone, and Three, the 35-country rows use EE and Three, and the 31-day rows list all four. In Switzerland, Swisscom joins Sunrise and Salt only on the 31-, 34- and 41-country rows. The Networks line under Technical specs shows them for the row you select.
4. The exit country. Websites see the IP of the exit, not of the country you're standing in: the UK or Norway on the day pass and the 34- and 41-country rows; France, the Netherlands, or the UK on the 35-country rows; Belgium on the 33-country rows; the Netherlands on the 31-day rows. It rarely matters for maps or messaging, more often for streaming and banking apps.

• Most of the trip in one country. A country plan drops the rest of the list and can use different networks. The France eSIM runs on Orange, the Turkey eSIM on Vodafone where the Europe rows use Turkcell, and the UK eSIM on EE and Three. The day passes on those three pages also slow to 512 Kbps after their daily 1 GB, against 384 Kbps here.
• The western Balkans. No Europe row lists Albania or Montenegro; the Balkans eSIM puts them on one plan with Greece, Croatia, Bulgaria, Serbia, and North Macedonia. For Bosnia and Herzegovina or Kosovo, buy the Bosnia and Herzegovina or Kosovo plans.
• Andorra or Monaco. Neither is on a Europe row or on Global 130, so a few days there need the Andorra or Monaco plans.
• Europe plus another continent. Global 130 lists the whole core above, Turkey, Morocco, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Moldova, along with the US and much of Asia and Africa. It has no day pass; its fixed plans run from 7 to 365 days.
