A lighter allowance may suit basic messaging and occasional browsing, while a larger plan is more suitable for regular navigation, social media and other data-heavy use. Top-ups are supported if you need more data during your trip.
Setting it up
Choose a seven-day or 30-day plan to match your itinerary. The eSIM provides data only, so calls and texts are not included. Install and activate it according to the instructions provided with your plan and check that your phone supports eSIM before travelling.
