E-Sim for European use

[Mzezman]

Wife is off to Europe for 2 weeks. What is better? Turning roaming on her prepaid line or getting a Euro e-sim? Her phone support e-sims. She will be in France, England and Sweden

Any recommendations for an e-sim we can get for her?

Ah yes... I remember that one. Mine doesn't have esim but hers has, hence I probably didn't correlate the 2 but thank you for this. Looks really good

I've used Truphone in the past. Worked well enough.

Used Nomad quite a few times for various places:

Nomad eSIM: Prepaid Data Plan App - App Store

Download Nomad eSIM: Prepaid Data Plan by LotusFlare on the App Store. See screenshots, ratings and reviews, user tips and more games like Nomad eSIM: Prepaid…

apps.apple.com

Nomad eSIM: Prepaid Data Plan - Apps on Google Play

play.google.com

Pricing varies by region but they do have plans for regions like Europe which covers a bunch of countries.
They also have varying validity periods and data amounts etc.

Yep, +1 for Truphone and the European plan if it’s data only you want. I use that coupled with Whatsapp. I keep my Vodacom sim active for incoming calls and the occasional outgoing if needed but with Truphone sim set to mobile data there is no daily roaming costs for Vodacom.

Download the app and check out the prices. For comparison look at Airalo which in my experience is more expensive in Europe.

Used Airalo recently (in Italy, but they have many options including IIRC a multi country one). Was very happy with price and connection.

Thank for all the suggestions, went and signed up with Ubigi, even works locally. Will select a plan for her then hopefully fully when she lands it's all working

Another interesting one which I bought and have not used due to change in plans.

BNE eSIM

Where you able to have more than one esim. I want to get one for my iPad and iPhone but it seems you can only have one esim with your profile.

Quick feedback - wife landed in the UK and the Ubigi esim started working without any issues

I used a Vodafone IE eSim in Dublin a few months back.

20 euro for unlimited data (4G @ 10mbps iirc) / free weekend calls
25 euro for unlimited data (5G uncapped) / free weekend calls.

Then when roaming in to the wider EU I got a capped 30GB iirc (used this in Amsterdam with no issue).

I just buy a sim at the airport or any local supermarket. If one wants wider EU roaming one can just buy 2 or 3. Usually these things include up to 50GB free or more data.

I found eSIM doesn’t need passport or registration online. In shop experiences seemed painful in comparison.

What works best for you. For me getting a new sim and having it registered takes a few minutes at best. Maybe 1-2 people in the queue usually.

Same. They are my go to eSIM provider if they support the country I'm in.

What phone do you have and what configuration? With an iPhone, I honestly don’t know what is easier than setting up an eSim at home before you leave that activates when you land.

I’m currently using an Airalo eSim here in Portugal recommended to me by a colleague. I paid $7 for a 5gb plan.

You can use my referral link to get a few bucks off, Use code TIM3346 when you sign up or apply it at checkout. https://ref.airalo.com/LN6E

I used this for a month - worked the business.

 

[lord-of-war]

How many esims can I have under an account or profile with Airola or Nomad?

My family and I have 6 devices that we want esims for and dont want to register 6 profiles with 6 email accounts.

We hope to have one account with 6 esims under that profile to manage from one app or login.

Any recommendation?
