Greece eSIM with Calls & Phone Number

You can get an eSIM for Greece right here on this page, installed before you fly. Pick your plan, pay by card, and the QR code arrives by email within minutes. Scan it at home on Wi-Fi and the line sits ready in your phone. No kiosk at Athens or Thessaloniki airport, no queue on arrival.

An eSIM for Greece is a roaming data plan. The line runs on the Orange Holiday Europe plan and roams onto the Greek mobile networks, so the phone registers by itself once data roaming is on for it. There is nothing to set up on the spot: no APN to type, no profile to pick, no app to open before it works.

An eSIM for Greece starts at 28,95€ and depends on the plan. The price table above on this page shows each option with its data allowance and validity, in your own currency. It is prepaid, so you pay once before you travel and nothing is billed to you afterwards, whatever the trip turns into.

You can set up an eSIM after you land in Greece, but it needs an internet connection, so you'd rely on airport or hotel Wi-Fi. It is far easier to scan the QR code at home a day or two earlier, because the line then activates by itself the moment you arrive, with nothing to do at the gate.

Yes, a regional eSIM plan works for Greece and the islands. The line runs on the Orange Holiday Europe plan, which covers Greece, so it behaves the same in Athens, in Thessaloniki and on the islands. The plan also covers a list of other countries, which helps if Greece is one stop on a longer trip.

The Orange Holiday Europe plan is the network this eSIM will use in Greece, and it roams onto the Greek networks, so you never pick an operator or configure anything. If the bars stay empty after landing, switch airplane mode on for ten seconds and off again, or open network selection, turn automatic off and choose a network by hand.

You don't get a Greek phone number with this eSIM, but you do get your own number with calls and texts included. Its dialling code is +33, France, since that is where the plan is issued. Your home number stays live in the phone beside it, so your usual contacts and SMS codes still reach you.

You'll have signal on the Greek islands themselves, yes. The towns, ports and beach resorts on Crete, Rhodes, Santorini, Mykonos and the rest are covered much like the mainland. Ferries are the weak spot, because out in open water between islands the signal drops away, so download maps, tickets and bookings before you board.

Yes, the eSIM setup works in your language. Our site, the checkout and your confirmation email come in 13 languages, and the installation itself follows your phone's own language, since it is your device that adds the eSIM. Nothing in the process depends on reading Greek, at home or at the airport.

How much data you need for Greece is about 500 MB a day, covering maps, ferry timetables, messages and a few searches. Island hopping with photos uploaded every evening lands nearer 1-2 GB a day. Streaming on a long crossing or sharing a hotspot with a laptop is what pushes it higher. A fortnight of ordinary use therefore lands around 7-14 GB. Bundle sizes are in the table on this page.

Yes. Because you get a real phone number, SMS verification codes arrive directly on your phone — so you can sign up for or verify WhatsApp, Telegram, banking apps and almost any service. No extra app required.

No. This is a real eSIM with a real number that works natively on your phone — calls use your normal dialer and texts land in your phone's Messages app. The Simbye app is optional and only used to manage your plan.

Yes. You can make and receive calls and SMS with your included number — just like a local SIM, with no contract and no roaming bills. International calls are included as a set number of minutes depending on your plan.
