eSIM Luxembourg
Luxembourg from 1,95€ is covered by Orange and Tango: data plans from 1 GB for 7 days up to 20 GB for 30 days, prepaid and without a contract, and you are online as soon as you land at Findel.
Your Selection
Your plan only starts counting when the eSIM first connects at your destination — so you can buy today and travel in three weeks.
How does Simbye eSIM work for Luxembourg?
Order and open the email
You pick your data plan and get the eSIM straight to your inbox: a setup link, a QR code and the details to type in by hand. Set it up at home on Wi-Fi and there is nothing left to do on the road.
Arrive in Luxembourg
Whether you land at Luxembourg Findel Airport, pull in by train at Gare de Luxembourg or drive over from Trier, Thionville or Arlon: after arrival, switch mobile data over to the new line in your settings and leave data roaming on for it.
Validity starts, you are online
The days only start counting once you first connect to a Luxembourg network, not when you buy. From then on you browse, share the connection by hotspot with a laptop or tablet, and top up whenever you need to.

Which networks will you be on in Luxembourg?
In Luxembourg the eSIM finds a network on its own — there is nothing for you to set by hand.
The Simbye eSIM uses 2 networks in Luxembourg: Orange · Tango.
| Tango |
|---|
The moment you switch your phone on in Luxembourg, the eSIM registers with Orange or Tango, whichever is available where you are. You pick nothing and type nothing in. If it does get stuck somewhere, the usual trick works: turn airplane mode on and off again, or set network search to manual in your settings and tap Orange or Tango yourself. Watch out close to the border: in Schengen, Wasserbillig, Rodange or Troisvierges your phone likes to grab the German, French or Belgian network from the other side. This plan is for Luxembourg only, so hold the network manually there if in doubt.
Coverage is dense wherever people live and work: Luxembourg City with the station quarter, the old town and the office towers on Kirchberg, the south around Esch-sur-Alzette, Belval, Differdange and Dudelange, the rail and motorway axis through Mersch, Ettelbruck and Diekirch up to Clervaux, plus the Moselle towns of Remich, Grevenmacher and Schengen and the tourist spots Echternach, Vianden and Mondorf. It thins out where the country cuts deep: in the hiking gorges of the Mullerthal, in the Our valley and around the reservoir at Esch-sur-Sûre, and in the forests of the Éislek in the north. The capital can lose signal too, mainly down low: in the casemates, in the rock around the Pfaffenthal lift and down in the Grund. Up on the bridges you are usually back to normal reception. So download your hiking maps before you set off. That is where two networks pay off: the eSIM uses both Orange and Tango, so where one has nothing the other often still does — turn off automatic network selection and pick the other one by hand.
eSIM or a local SIM card in Luxembourg?
Luxembourg makes it an easy call: the eSIM is already running as your plane reaches Findel, while a local prepaid card has to be registered against a document under the 2017 law, at a POST, Orange or Tango shop.
| Feature | Local SIM card | |
|---|---|---|
| ID required | No, nothing is registered | Yes, a Luxembourg prepaid card has to be registered against an ID document under the 2017 law |
| Where you get it | By email, before you leave home | In a POST, Orange or Tango shop, during opening hours only |
| At Findel airport | Already running when the plane taxis in | You sort the card out after arrival — in a shop, with your ID, during opening hours |
| Paying | Online in advance, in your own currency | On the spot in euros, by card or cash in the shop |
| Phone number | None, it is data only | A Luxembourg +352 number, but only switched on after registration |
| Calls and SMS | Not on this plan; WhatsApp and similar apps run over the data | Ordinary calls and texts are included |
| Topping up | Any time online or in the app, mid-trip too | Credit in a shop, at a machine or online with local payment |
| If something goes wrong | Support by email, in English | Questions go back to the shop, usually in French, Luxembourgish or English |
For most travelers the eSIM is the simpler choice: set up before departure, no queuing on arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions about Luxembourg eSIM
Data, calls, real phone numbers, top-ups and setup — everything you need to know before you buy a Simbye eSIM.
Yes, an eSIM for Luxembourg is a digital data plan. The eSIM connects to Orange or Tango and works across the whole country, from the capital through the south around Esch-sur-Alzette up to Clervaux and Vianden in the north. All you need is a phone that supports eSIM and is not locked to a single operator.
Whether you need an eSIM in Luxembourg depends on where you come from and what your contract at home covers. It makes sense if you want to travel prepaid without a contract, if your own data allowance is used up, or if you need a second line next to your work phone and would rather keep your private traffic off it.
No, you don't have to register the eSIM or show ID in Luxembourg. The registration requirement in Luxembourg applies to prepaid cards with a Luxembourg phone number. This plan is pure data without its own number, so there is nothing to register and no ID to upload.
No, you don't get a Luxembourg +352 number with this eSIM. For that you would need a card from a Luxembourg operator, and that one is registered against your ID. Your existing number stays reachable on your old line as long as you leave it switched on in the phone.
Orange and Tango. Your phone decides which one to use, but you can also pick one by hand in your settings.
No, the eSIM doesn't work in Trier, Arlon or Thionville. It is booked for Luxembourg and stops at the border. Because the country is small, your phone can slip onto a neighbouring network in border towns like Schengen or Wasserbillig — just select Orange or Tango manually in your settings.
You can buy an eSIM for Luxembourg online in about two minutes: pick a plan from the table above, pay, and the QR code arrives by email. Install it over Wi-Fi before you travel and it activates itself on arrival. There is no shop to find and nothing to collect once you reach Luxembourg City.
An eSIM for Luxembourg starts at 1,95€; the exact price depends on the data volume and number of days you select. A one-day business trip needs far less than a week of navigation and video calls. You pay once at checkout, with no contract and no monthly fee.
How much data you need for Luxembourg depends on use: maps and messaging run 50 to 100 MB a day, so a weekend in Luxembourg City and Vianden fits inside 1 to 3 GB. Uploading photos takes you to 300 to 600 MB a day. Streaming on the train or tethering a laptop for a work week runs past 1 GB a day, which is what the larger sizes are for.
The eSIM that is best for Luxembourg matches your stay: coverage where you go, the data you use, the days you need and whether a local number matters. This one uses Orange and Tango and is dense wherever people live and work. It is data only. One honest limit: it covers Luxembourg alone, so daily hops to Trier or Metz need a wider plan.
