Frequently Asked Questions about Travel eSIM for Europe

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM, or embedded Subscriber Identity Module, is a virtual SIM card integrated into devices like smartphones and smartwatches. Unlike physical SIM cards, eSIMs are programmed remotely, enabling easy network switching and activation without needing physical swaps. They offer flexibility for changing carriers and plans, convenient international travel connectivity, and the management of multiple numbers on one device. While not universally supported, eSIM technology reduces the reliance on physical cards and simplifies the user experience by allowing remote provisioning of cellular services.

How to activate the eSim?

After purchase, you will receive a QR code by email. Scan it with your phone's camera to install the eSIM on your device. The eSIM activates, and your plan's validity starts, when it first connects to a network at your destination, so you can install it before you travel.

How do I check my balance?

Log in to My Account with the email you used to buy the eSIM, then click View Balance next to your order. You can also email support@etravelsim.com with your order number.

What is the best eSIM for Europe travel in 2026?

The ETravelSim Europe eSIM covers 34 European countries, including the UK, Switzerland and Turkey, on one prepaid plan. Choose unlimited data (4 GB/day at full speed, then 1 Mbps) or 1–50 GB packs, valid 5–30 days, with an optional UK (+44) number. The QR code arrives by email, so it suits multi-country trips that single-country eSIMs can't cover.

How much does a Europe eSIM cost?

It depends on the plan. Prices for every plan, from 1 GB packs to 30-day unlimited, are shown in your currency in the plan picker above.

How do I top up my plan?

Many plans can be topped up on our Recharge page. If your plan has no top-up there, email support@etravelsim.com with your order number and we'll help.

Do I need to submit any documentation?

No, however, at ETravelSim, we take the security of our customers seriously. To protect our customers from fraudulent activities and maintain a safe shopping environment, we may request additional identity verification for transactions flagged by our payment gateway as suspicious or potentially fraudulent.

If your transaction is marked as such, we kindly ask you to cooperate with our verification process. This may involve asking for valid proof of identity, such as a government-issued ID or passport. Rest assured that all personal information will be handled securely per our privacy policy.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. It is an essential step to ensure the safety and integrity of our services. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this regard.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this process, please don't hesitate to contact our customer support team at support@etravelsim.com.

How do I install the eSIM on an iPhone?

Your QR code arrives by email right after purchase. Install it before you travel, while connected to Wi-Fi:

  1. Open Settings → Mobile Service (or Cellular) → Add eSIM.
  2. Tap Use QR Code and scan the QR code from your email. If you can't scan it, tap Enter Details Manually and type the SM-DP+ address and activation code from the same email.
  3. Label the new line (for example "Travel") and keep your home SIM as the primary line for calls and SMS.
  4. When you arrive, choose the travel eSIM for Mobile Data. Turn on Data Roaming for that line if your plan requires it.

Step-by-step help: iPhone installation guide.

How to buy eSIM in Europe?

Buy it online on our Europe eSIM page: choose a plan and pay, and the QR code arrives by email straight away. Install it before you travel.

Does the unlimited Europe eSIM include the UK?

Yes. The UK is included in the standard Europe eSIM coverage list, alongside 33 other European countries. The same plan also covers Switzerland and Turkey, which some EU-only eSIM plans exclude.

Does the Europe eSIM include Switzerland?

Yes. Switzerland is covered through the Swisscom partner network on the ETravelSim Europe eSIM. This is a notable advantage for travelers heading to Zurich, Geneva, or the Alps, since Switzerland is not an EU member and is excluded by many competing "EU eSIM" plans.

Is the unlimited Europe eSIM really unlimited?

Yes — with a transparent daily speed structure. You get 4 GB per day at full 5G/LTE speed, then unlimited browsing at 1 Mbps for the rest of the day. The 4 GB allowance refreshes every 24 hours, so the data never runs out and there are no overage charges.

What happens after I use 4 GB in a day?

Your speed steps down from full 5G/LTE to a steady 1 Mbps. You can keep using maps, messaging, ride-hailing, email, and basic social media without interruption. The 4 GB high-speed allowance resets automatically every 24 hours.

Can I use hotspot on the unlimited plan?

No. Hotspot and tethering aren't available on the Europe Unlimited plans. To share data with a laptop or another phone, choose a GB plan (1–50 GB, with or without calls), or Truly Unlimited Data for Europe, which has no daily cap and allows hotspot.

Can I use hotspot on the fixed-data plans?

Yes. Hotspot and tethering work on every fixed-data plan from 1 GB to 50 GB. This makes the 25 GB or 50 GB plan a strong choice for travelers sharing a connection with a partner or laptop.

Which Europe plan is best for 3 weeks or a month?

For heavy phone use, take Unlimited 30 days (4 GB/day at full speed, then 1 Mbps). If you need hotspot, take the 25 GB or 50 GB pack, valid 30 days.

How many countries does the Europe eSIM cover?

34 countries, including the UK, Switzerland and Turkey, on one prepaid plan, with no SIM change at borders. Poland and Cyprus are not included.

Does the Europe eSIM cover Turkey, Morocco or Israel?

Turkey, yes: it's one of the 34 countries. Morocco and Israel aren't covered; use the Morocco eSIM or the Israel eSIM for those trips.

Which networks does the Europe eSIM use?

The Europe eSIM connects automatically to a partner network in each country, for example Swisscom in Switzerland. You don't need to choose a network yourself.

Is the Europe eSIM 5G?

Yes, where available. It runs on 5G and LTE; 5G depends on the local network and on your phone supporting 5G.

When should I install the Europe eSIM?

Install it before you leave, on Wi-Fi. You can buy and install it days or weeks ahead: the plan's validity starts only when the eSIM first connects to a network in a covered country.

Does my phone need to be unlocked?

Yes. Your phone must be factory-unlocked and eSIM-capable. Carrier-locked devices may have eSIM disabled even if the global model supports it; check Settings → About → EID before purchase.

Can I keep my normal phone number active at the same time?

Yes. On a dual-SIM phone your home SIM stays active for calls, SMS and banking codes while the Europe eSIM handles data. WhatsApp and iMessage keep your existing number.

How long does QR delivery take?

The QR code is sent to your registered email immediately after purchase, typically within 60 seconds. The email also includes the SM-DP+ activation address as a manual fallback if the QR scan fails.

What if my eSIM doesn't work?

ETravelSim offers 24/7 customer support and works with you to resolve any installation or connectivity issue. For refunds, please refer to our Refund Policy.

Can I get a UK phone number with the Europe eSIM?

Yes. Selected Europe eSIM plans include a UK-based +44 mobile number with real cellular voice calling (not VoIP). Free incoming calls are included on these plans. Data-only plans do not include a number.

Great service when I had a problem. Good coverage throughout Germany, France, Lux and Belgium

After my first 30-day SIM finished I easily bought a second one online. However, my phone fell from bike holder and died. I contacted ETravel SIM and they sent me a new QR code to reload the remaining balance (I believe it was the remaining but never pushed the data or tme limit as my trip finished) on my replacement phone. Very fast support and no hassles!

Hi Stuart, we're thrilled to hear you had a great experience and appreciated our support. Safe travels on your future adventures!

Worked well

No problems at all during a recent European visit (including Switzerland), but it would have been helpful if there was a way to see how much data I had used, rather than having to send an email.

Ok… but..

2 times it was ok in the past. But after my last order something went wrong during the installation. I couldn’t find the eSIM on my mobile.

Hi Jürgen, thanks for sharing this. We’re sorry the eSIM wasn’t visible on your phone after installation, especially after your previous good experiences. Please contact our support team with your order details so we can help resolve it.

Travel eSIM for Europe

Purchased eSIM with Call and Text message options. As soon as I landed in Europe, eSIM began to work with no issues. There were minimal issues with connectivity. Travel eSIM is a great value and will purchase this next time.
It would have been helpful to know what my phone no. is from the settings instead of me looking for that in the email that Travel eSIM sent.

Hi Ganesh, thanks for sharing your experience! We’re glad your eSIM worked smoothly when you landed and that you found it a great value. We appreciate your suggestion about making your phone number easier to find in your settings, and we’ll keep it in mind. We’d love to help with your next trip!
