ヨーロッパ eSIM

You buy it here in a couple of minutes: pick a plan above, pay by card or PayPal, and the install link reaches your inbox straight away. One tap installs the profile beside your usual SIM. Do it at home before you fly, because the plan starts when you switch on data roaming at your first stop.

Yes, on a single profile. The line registers on a partner network in each country you travel through, so an eSIM-capable phone is online from the moment you land in Lisbon, Rome or Warsaw. Nothing is bought at a counter and no local shop is involved: you switch on data roaming for the Simbye line.

It depends on how much data you want and how long you are away. The price table above on this page shows every plan with its allowance and validity, and that figure is the whole cost. There is no contract, no activation fee and nothing charged once the plan has run out.

Yes, and delivery here is an email rather than a parcel. The install link and QR code reach your inbox within minutes of paying, at any hour of the day, so you can buy one the night before an early flight or at the gate over airport Wi-Fi. There is nothing to post and nothing to collect.

You need one if you would rather not pay your home operator's roaming rates or hunt for a SIM shop in a language you cannot read. A travel eSIM is prepaid, so the amount is fixed before you leave and nothing lands on your bill afterwards. Hotel Wi-Fi alone leaves you offline between hotels.

It runs on Orange Holiday Europe, which covers a long list of European countries on a single profile, so you reinstall nothing when you cross a border. The coverage list on this page names them. If your route also takes in destinations beyond that list, check the plan details before you buy.

Yes. The profile registers on a partner network in the next country on its own, with nothing to reinstall, no code to scan again and no APN to type. The change usually happens within minutes of arriving. If a new country leaves you with an empty bar, toggle airplane mode for ten seconds.

Yes. The Orange Holiday Europe plans carry a number of their own, on the French +33 dialling code, for calls and texts from the phone's normal dialler. Your own SIM stays in the phone at the same time, so your usual number keeps receiving calls and messages. The plan details above show what each option includes.

On land it follows the local networks, so intercity trains hold up apart from tunnels and cuttings. Water is the weak point: phones lose the land masts once a ferry is well offshore, and what ships offer at sea is their own onboard service. Alpine valleys and long road tunnels drop out too.

Yes, the hotspot is allowed, so one plan can carry a laptop, a tablet or a travelling companion's phone. Everything shared draws on the same allowance, and laptops get through data far faster than phones do. For a family trip, choose one of the larger plans rather than the smallest one.

Before you leave, while you are still on Wi-Fi you trust. Installing needs an internet connection, using it does not. The profile then sits dormant on the phone and nothing counts down until you turn on data roaming for the Simbye line at your first stop.

Turn airplane mode on for ten seconds and off again. That forces a fresh network search and fixes it most of the time. If the bar is still empty, check that data roaming is on for the Simbye line, then switch off automatic network selection and pick a network from the list by hand.

A city break with maps, messengers and a few uploads runs on a couple of gigabytes a week. A longer rail or road trip across several countries, with photos going up every evening, sits nearer 10 GB a month. Streaming on trains, video calls or tethering a laptop is what pushes you to the larger sizes. The table on this page shows the steps.

It depends on how many countries you cross, how long you stay and whether you need to be reachable by phone. One plan that works across the whole trip beats buying a new one at each border. This one includes a number for calls and texts, so hosts and hotels can ring you back. If you never take calls, a data-only country plan is simpler.
