The downside is that all their plans have a data limit and you can run out of internet in the middle of your trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also offer <strong>Data plans for Scandinavian countries, for Eastern Europe<\/strong> and one for <strong>America plus Europe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#faf6f3\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Data plan<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Dollars<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Euro<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong><strong>Pounds<\/strong><\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Yen<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">30 days &#8211; 1 GB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$8<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u20ac8<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a37<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a51200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">30 days &#8211; 3GB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$12<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u20ac12<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a310<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a51700<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1 day &#8211; 500MB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$2<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u20ac2<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a32<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a5290<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">30 days &#8211; 5 GB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$15<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u20ac15<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a310<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a52200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">30 days &#8211; 10 GB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$24<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u20ac24<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a312<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a53200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">30 days &#8211; 20 GB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$29<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u20ac29<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a325<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a512400<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">12 months &#8211; 24 GB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$58<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u20ac58<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a321<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a528100<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">30 days &#8211; 10 GB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$59<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u20ac59<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a352<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a53600<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">12 months &#8211; 24 GB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$78<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a378<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a370<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a58200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">30 days &#8211; 50 GB<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$88<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u20ac88<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a378<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u00a511000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pay for your eSIM for Europe in Dollars, Euros, Pounds and Yen with Ubigi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, their <strong>App works very well <\/strong>and as well as buying the eSIM from there, you can install it and top it up if necessary.

After testing several brands of eSIM cards for Europe, we have drawn our own conclusions, and have prepared this section where we tell you <strong>which eSIM card is best for which type of travel.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we travel, we don&#8217;t want to run out of data in the middle of our holiday, so eSIM cards<strong> with unlimited data are the best option<\/strong> if we want to travel without worries. In this case, the only brand offering<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/holafly.sjv.io\/Z6xPaW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">unlimited eSIM data plans is Holafly<\/a>. <\/strong> With some companies like <strong>Ubigi, Nomad or Airalo you can top up the eSIM <\/strong>already installed through their website or App, but the best thing is not having to pay again if you run out of data. And remember, you can only top them up while the card is still active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you end up opting for an eSIM with limited data, here&#8217;s a table to help you <strong>estimate how many gigabytes you&#8217;ll need based on your usual usage.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#faf6f3\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Platform<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Gigabyte consumption per hour<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Instagram<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0.12 GB &#8211; 0.18 GB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Facebook<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0.12 GB &#8211; 0.18 GB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Twitter<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0.06 GB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Tiktok<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0.18 GB &#8211; 0.8 GB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Netflix<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0.3 GB &#8211; 7 GB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Youtube<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0.14 GB &#8211; 1.7 GB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Amazon Prime<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0.8 GB &#8211; 6 GB<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Internet spending on video platforms and social media<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The installation process for eSIM cards is always simple and quick<\/strong>, but it is true that some companies make it even easier. The first thing to do is to <strong>check if your mobile is compatible with the brand&#8217;s eSIM<\/strong>. You can check this information on the website of each provider, and in the case of <strong>Ubigi, when you download the App it informs you if your mobile is compatible. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The purchase of the eSIM for Europe can be done through the web in the case of some brands such as <strong>Holafly or Simoptions<\/strong>, or through the<strong> app such as Nomad or Ubigi. <\/strong>Holafly&#8217;s website is very intuitive and easy to use, while Simoptions is quite complicated to understand and you will have to do a lot of reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only brands that allow <strong>installation through the App are Nomad and Ubigi<\/strong>, and in the case of Holafly, from the App you can get the code to <strong>install the eSIM manually<\/strong> without using a computer. You can also do the installation by <strong>scanning a QR code<\/strong> that you will receive by email as soon as you have completed the purchase with <strong>Holafly, Airalo, Simoptions or Nomad<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncentre aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" data-attachment-id=\"25859\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/europe\/internet-europe-esim\/attachment\/install-esim-holafly-for-europe\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Install-eSIM-Holafly-for-Europe.jpg?fit=1721%2C1151&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1721,1151\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Install eSIM Holafly for Europe\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Install-eSIM-Holafly-for-Europe.jpg?fit=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Install-eSIM-Holafly-for-Europe.jpg?fit=1024%2C685&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Install-eSIM-Holafly-for-Europe-1024x685.jpg?resize=1024%2C685&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Install eSIM Holafly for Europe\" class=\"wp-image-25859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Install-eSIM-Holafly-for-Europe.jpg?resize=1024%2C685&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Install-eSIM-Holafly-for-Europe.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Install-eSIM-Holafly-for-Europe.jpg?resize=768%2C514&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Install-eSIM-Holafly-for-Europe.jpg?resize=1536%2C1027&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Install-eSIM-Holafly-for-Europe.jpg?resize=1140%2C762&amp;ssl=1 1140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Install-eSIM-Holafly-for-Europe.jpg?w=1721&amp;ssl=1 1721w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> eSIM card installation process<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <strong>it is very important to consider the technical service<\/strong> to help you in the installation process and solve any doubt or problem.

That&#8217;s why it is sometimes advisable to pay a little more and get an <strong>unlimited data eSIM card like Holafly&#8217;s<\/strong> to give you peace of mind and avoid having to recharge again.

If you have, then you&#8217;ll know how complicated it can be to find Wifi networks that work well, don&#8217;t ask you to fill out endless forms, or aren&#8217;t time-limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is true that it is becoming easier to <strong>access public Wi-Fi networks<\/strong> in museums, hotels, caf\u00e9s and on transport, it is true that this option should be used with great caution. Public <strong>Wifi hotspots<\/strong> are very vulnerable to hacking and cyber-attacks, through which your private data can be accessed. It is therefore recommended that you spend as little time as possible connected, use it for specific queries and do not expose personal data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#faf6f3\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Advantages<\/strong><\/td><td>It&#8217;s free.<br>No need to install anything on our mobiles.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-centre\" data-align=\"centre\"><strong>Disadvantages<\/strong><\/td><td>It is difficult to find free wifi networks.<br>Public wifi networks are often slow or have connection problems. <br>You often have to fill in forms and give your personal details.<br>Some free wifi networks are time-limited. <br>You should always connect near the router.<br>They are vulnerable to hacking.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Advantages and disadvantages of using free wifi networks in Europe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncentre aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"602\" data-attachment-id=\"25865\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/europe\/internet-europe-esim\/attachment\/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-roaming-for-europe-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Advantages-and-disadvantages-of-roaming-for-Europe.jpg?fit=900%2C602&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"900,602\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Advantages and disadvantages of roaming for Europe\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Advantages-and-disadvantages-of-roaming-for-Europe.jpg?fit=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Advantages-and-disadvantages-of-roaming-for-Europe.jpg?fit=900%2C602&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Advantages-and-disadvantages-of-roaming-for-Europe.jpg?resize=900%2C602&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Advantages and disadvantages of roaming for Europe\" class=\"wp-image-25865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Advantages-and-disadvantages-of-roaming-for-Europe.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Advantages-and-disadvantages-of-roaming-for-Europe.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Advantages-and-disadvantages-of-roaming-for-Europe.jpg?resize=768%2C514&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">eSIM Card for travel to Europe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Enable-roaming-for-Europe\"><\/span>4.

It is the simplest option as you can receive calls and connect to the internet without having to install anything or change your phone number, however, the bills are very high. The cost per MB can be as high as \u20ac6 for 1MB, which is crazy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Spain there are several companies that offer roaming abroad, such as <strong>Movistar, Vodafone or Orange. <\/strong>If you choose this option, we recommend that you ask your carrier about the cost of roaming so that you can compare it with other services such as eSIM cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#faf6f3\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Advantages<\/strong><\/td><td>No installation on our mobile.<br>No extra services to sign up for.<br>You can receive calls, send messages and connect to the internet immediately.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Disadvantages<\/strong><\/td><td>It is the most expensive option. <br>Sometimes it is activated without us realising.<br>Not all telephone companies offer this service.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Advantages and disadvantages of roaming for Europe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions-about-having-internet-in-europe\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently-asked-questions-about-having-internet-in-Europe\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions about having internet in Europe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1680216559345\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do eSIM cards work?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">eSIM cards allow you to have internet on your mobile phone when you travel abroad without having to remove your usual SIM card, as is the case with SIM cards. This is possible thanks to a chip that is built into the latest generation of mobile phones.<br\/><br\/>The purchase of the eSIM data plan can be done through the website or the App of some brands. Choose your destination, the duration and the gigabytes of the data plan and pay securely.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1680216632048\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How are eSIM cards installed?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The installation and activation of the eSIM is a really easy procedure that will only take a few minutes.<br\/>Once you have verified that your mobile phone is compatible with the product and chosen the data plan that best suits your needs, go to the mobile data settings on your smartphone and select &#8220;add data plan&#8221;. The camera will then open so you can scan the QR code that you will have received in the mail after the purchase. The installation and activation of your card will then begin.<br\/>This process must be carried out with an internet connection, which is why it is recommended that you do it before setting off on your trip or as soon as you arrive at the hotel.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1680216786584\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I know if my mobile phone is compatible with an eSIM?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Most models of common brands such as Apple, Samsung, Motorola, Huawei or Google are compatible as long as they are recent models. Several iPads are also compatible. However, it is best to check with each provider&#8217;s website, where they will tell you which models are compatible.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1680217924783\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the delivery time for the physical SIM card?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">SIM cards can be purchased in physical shops or online, with delivery times ranging from 48 to 72 hours.
