No. Calls and texts are not included, but you can use data-based messaging and calling apps.

Can I top up my Ireland eSIM?

Yes. Top-up is supported if you need additional data.

How long can an Ireland eSIM plan last?

Available durations range from 1 day to 180 days, including 3, 5, 7, 14, 15, 30 and 31 days.

Is unlimited data available for Ireland?

Ireland: is an eSIM better than a local SIM?

For most travellers, yes. A local SIM in Ireland means finding a shop once you have landed, usually with ID in hand, and it leaves you on a single carrier. An eSimHero eSIM installs before you travel, works the moment you arrive, connects across the networks we carry there, and leaves your usual number active on the same phone.

How much data you need
Select from 0.5GB, 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB, 20GB or 50GB, or choose an unlimited plan. Light use such as messages, maps and occasional browsing may suit a smaller allowance, while streaming and frequent hotspot use will need more data.
