Europe eSIM: one plan for 42 countries, including the UK and Switzerland

Which countries are covered?

Our 42-country Europe plan covers Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Guernsey, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, the Isle of Man, Italy, Jersey, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and the Åland Islands, among others. The exact list is shown on every plan, and smaller Europe plans (31 to 35 countries) are also available. Always check that every country on your route is listed before you buy.

Regional plan or country plan?

A regional plan costs more than a plan for one country, because it includes roaming rights in dozens of places. As a rule of thumb:

• Visiting one country (a week in Spain, say): buy that country's plan
• Two or three countries: compare a regional plan with buying separate plans
• Four or more countries, or an unplanned route: a regional plan is simpler and often cheaper

At the time of writing, our 42-country plan costs £10.75 for 1GB over 7 days, £40.75 for 5GB over 30 days and £70.50 for 10GB over 30 days. Single-country plans for popular destinations such as 法国, Spain 和 Italy usually cost a fraction of that.

How much data for a Europe trip?

Maps, rail apps, messaging and the occasional upload come to around 300–500MB a day for most people. For two weeks across several countries, 5GB is a comfortable starting point. If you stream or work on the move, consider a day pass, which gives a fixed amount of high-speed data each day and then continues at a reduced speed.

Setting it up

1. Check your phone supports eSIM using our compatibility checker.

2. Install the eSIM over Wi-Fi before you leave. 3. Turn on data roaming for the eSIM line when you arrive. Regional eSIMs always roam, even in your first country.
