eSIM for Europeskip roaming

The best eSIM for Europe depends on how much data you need, but for a typical trip eSIM Ahora offers plans from $1.24, activated by QR code in about 30 seconds with no roaming from your home carrier. A 3 GB, 30-day plan costs $11.04. You connect on local networks (Local mobile networks) at 4G LTE speed, with top-ups available and nationwide coverage. Compatible with iPhone XS or newer, Samsung Galaxy S21+ and Google Pixel 3+.

We have 16 plans for Europe starting from $1.24. Price depends on GBs and days — small plans (1-3 GB / 7 days) are cheapest, larger plans (10+ GB / 30 days) cost more per GB. Up to 80% cheaper than Airalo in most cases.

The eSIM connects automatically to 3, 7acht, A1, Base, Bouygues, Digi.Mobil, Elisa, FL1, Free Mobile, GO, KPN, LMT, Melita, MEO, Mobitel, Movistar, NOS, Nova, O2, Orange, Play, Plus, POST, PrimeTel, Proximus, Salt, SFR, Sunrise, Swisscom, Tango, TDC, Tele2, Telemach, Telenor Hungary, Telia, Telia / DNA, Turkcell, Vivacom, Vodafone, Wind, Bite, BITĖ, Kyivstar, lifecell and Yoigo. Normally you don't have to do anything: the phone picks the strongest one and switches if you leave a coverage zone. If you ever see signal bars but nothing loads, it attached to a local network your plan can't use: turn off automatic network selection (iPhone: Settings → Cellular → your eSIM → Network Selection; Android: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → your eSIM) and pick 3, 7acht, A1, Base, Bouygues, Digi.Mobil, Elisa, FL1, Free Mobile, GO, KPN, LMT, Melita, MEO, Mobitel, Movistar, NOS, Nova, O2, Orange, Play, Plus, POST, PrimeTel, Proximus, Salt, SFR, Sunrise, Swisscom, Tango, TDC, Tele2, Telemach, Telenor Hungary, Telia, Telia / DNA, Turkcell, Vivacom, Vodafone, Wind, Bite, BITĖ, Kyivstar, lifecell or Yoigo by hand.

Yes. The eSIM is a second line — your home SIM stays active for bank SMS, family calls, and app verifications. Only mobile data routes through the new eSIM. You configure this on install.

Buy before leaving. On landing: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → scan the QR. Enable "Data Roaming" on the new eSIM (the key step 90% of people forget). 30 seconds and you're online. Local tip: Activate your eSIM when you arrive. Data starts working automatically.

If your plan is reloadable (most are), reload the same eSIM in 30 seconds for a few euros without reinstalling. For "non-reloadable" plans you'd buy a fresh one, but we tell you this clearly before purchase.
