A week of Vodafone roaming in Europe costs £19.25 at £2.75 a day, or £16 on the 8-day Europe pass, and nothing on Pay Monthly plans that started before 11 August 2021. A Maya travel eSIM is the other route: one flat price for a 7-day plan, with unlimited data across 165+ countries and no daily meter.
On a newer Vodafone plan, every day abroad is another £2.75 on the meter.
Who saves money on a week in Europe with a Maya eSIM?
The traveler on a Vodafone plan that started on or after 11 August 2021 gains most from a flat price. That plan’s Europe roaming day costs £2.75 (Vodafone, 2026), and the meter keeps running on every extra day, while our 7-day plan is one price, USD 19.99 (Maya Mobile, 2026).
A week rarely stays a week. A delayed train adds a night. A client dinner adds a country. On the daily charge, each of those changes the bill. On a Maya plan you pick the days up front and the price is already set.
You also get the whole network of places. Our plans give unlimited data across 165+ countries, so the same eSIM that covers Paris covers the next stop too. If you’re a business or avid traveler who lands, connects and goes, that is one fewer sum to run on the way to the airport.
How much does Vodafone UK roaming in Europe cost for seven days?
On a newer plan Vodafone UK charges £2.75 a day in Europe, so seven days is £19.25. The 8-day Europe Roaming Pass is £16, which makes it the cheaper Vodafone route for a week (Vodafone, 2026).
The pass is a one-off charge, and Vodafone says the Extra starts when you arrive at your destination. A longer trip has a bigger option: the 15-day Europe Roaming Pass is £21 (Vodafone, 2026). Both prices come from Vodafone’s own Extras page, in pounds.
Skip the pass and forget to buy it, and the daily charge is what you get. That’s the gap a flat plan closes before you board.
Which Vodafone plans get free Europe roaming for a week?
Pay Monthly plans that started before 11 August 2021 get free roaming. Vodafone puts it in one sentence: “For anyone with a Vodafone Pay Monthly plan that started before 11 August 2021, there are no changes to roaming on your plan.” (Vodafone, 2026)
Check your start date first. If it’s before that day, your week costs nothing extra on the Vodafone side, and you can stop reading the price tables.
Some newer plans carry roaming too. Vodafone’s August 2021 benefits terms say: “Inclusive Roaming in 51 European destinations allows you to use your monthly allowance of minutes, text and data to roam at no extra cost in our Zone A and B destinations.” (Vodafone EVO Benefits Terms, 2021) That is the Xtra plan with its Xtra Benefits.
Zone A is the smaller list. Vodafone says: “Zone A – You won’t be charged extra for using your phone in our Zone A countries.” (Vodafone, 2023) It covers Iceland, the Republic of Ireland, the Isle of Man and Norway.
Not sure which camp you’re in? Your plan’s start date decides it. Everyone else is back on the £2.75 meter.
How does one flat 7-day eSIM price compare with Vodafone’s daily charge?
Vodafone charges by the day: £2.75 in Europe on a newer plan, or £16 for the 8-day pass (Vodafone, 2026). We charge by trip length, and our 7-day plan is USD 19.99 (Maya Mobile, 2026). Same week, two ways of counting.
Here are all four of our lengths, so you can see where a stretched trip lands.
| Maya plan | Price (Maya Mobile, 2026) |
|---|---|
| 3 days | USD 9.99 |
| 7 days | USD 19.99 |
| 14 days | USD 27.99 |
| 30 days | USD 49.99 |
Prices show in USD by default and include applicable taxes unless checkout states otherwise. Pay in another currency and your bank or card provider may charge foreign exchange fees.
Every plan is a one-time purchase. It ends when its days end, unless you turn on Auto Top-Up, which is opt-in and off by default. No subscription, no lock-in.
Setup takes one sitting. Install the eSIM once, before you travel, on Wi-Fi. Turn Data Roaming off on your Vodafone line and keep it on for the Maya eSIM. When you land, switch the eSIM on and select it for Cellular Data. The plan clock starts then, and you’re connected within a couple of minutes.
Your Vodafone SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts. Done! You’re online before the baggage carousel starts.
What data limits apply to Vodafone roaming and a Maya eSIM?
Vodafone caps roaming data on Pay Monthly plans at 25GB. Its website says: “All our pay monthly plans are subject to a 25GB roaming fair use policy. This means that if your UK allowance is greater than 25GB, you can use up to 25GB data a month while roaming.”
Smaller UK allowances work differently. Vodafone’s website says: “If your UK data allowance is less than 25GB, you can use your UK data allowance when abroad, but if you exceed it you’ll be charged as you would be in the UK.”
Our plans are unlimited data with a daily high-speed allowance, delivered at up to 4G LTE or 5G where local networks offer it. The allowance resets every 24 hours. Once you’ve used it, data carries on at standard speed for the rest of the day, and your data is never cut off entirely.
Unused allowance doesn’t carry over to the next day. No speed is guaranteed after the allowance, because speeds depend on local network conditions. The plans are built for travelers using data on the move, so keep the huge file downloads for Wi-Fi.
Maps, messages, a video call from the hotel lobby: that’s the week this is made for.
What does a week cost if your Europe trip adds a non-European stop?
A Vodafone Europe pass is a Zone B product. Outside it, Vodafone’s daily roaming charge in Zone C or D is £8 a day (Vodafone UK, 2026). Our plan covers 165+ countries at one price for your trip length.
So a stop outside Europe changes the Vodafone sum, and it changes nothing on ours. The price is the same whichever country you’re in, and one plan covers multi-country travel, so you don’t switch SIMs or change plans when you add a country.
Say your seven days end in a city outside Europe. You’ve already bought the plan. The eSIM carries on, and so do you.
What each travel eSIM publishes on data and plans for a one-week trip
Every travel eSIM sells a week its own way, and each defines unlimited in its own published words. Maya sells one global plan at a flat price by trip length, while Airalo, Holafly, Saily and Nomad each publish the structure below.
| Travel eSIM | How plans are sold | Unlimited plan allowance, as published | Calls, texts and phone number, as published |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maya Mobile | One Global eSIM for 165+ countries, unlimited data at a flat price by trip length: USD 9.99 for 3 days, USD 19.99 for 7 days, USD 27.99 for 14 days, USD 49.99 for 30 days | A daily high-speed data allowance (the Daily Quota) at up to 4G LTE or 5G where local networks offer it, reset every 24 hours; unlimited data at standard speed once the Daily Quota is used | Data only, with no local number; your own SIM stays in the phone for your calls and texts |
| Airalo | Per country, per region, or one global plan; priced in USD | Our unlimited data packages don’t have a fixed total data cap. However, to keep the network running fairly for everyone, when you use more than 3GB in a day, we’ll slow down (or “throttle”) your internet speed to 1 Mbps for the rest of that day. | We offer flexible data packages — some have calls and texts. |
| Holafly | Per country, per region (Europe, Latin America, Cruise plans), and unlimited monthly/annual global plans | Unlimited data means there is no fixed limit on the amount of data you can use. However, some network operators may temporarily reduce your speed after a certain amount of high-speed data usage, as explained above. | Unlimited Plans purchased on November 4, 2025, or later include a phone number for US, UK, or Canada. Please note that this service supports inbound SMS only and VOIP-based calling (traditional incoming cellular calls are not supported) |
| Saily | Per country and per region, plus one global plan; by the gigabyte, unlimited, or both | The Unlimited plan gives you 5 GB per day at full 4G/5G speed, then keeps you online at 1 Mbps for the rest of the day — fast enough for navigation, messaging, and standard browsing. | Yes, you can keep your own number while using a Saily eSIM plan. If you want to make calls and send SMS messages abroad without worrying about extra carrier fees, you can add a US phone number to your Saily eSIM plan. |
| Nomad | Per country, per region and global plans; by the gigabyte | How many GB of high-speed data you wish per day. You can continue to use your data at a throttled speed of 512kbps after you’ve used up your daily allocation. | Some of Nomad’s eSIMs include a local phone number. Check the plan details for more information of what your plan includes. |

FAQ
Which European countries does one Maya eSIM cover?
One Maya eSIM covers Europe plus 165+ countries, on the same Global plan and at the same price. You install it once and it stays on your phone. Service in a specific country isn’t guaranteed and can vary for reasons outside our control.
Will a Maya plan renew and charge me after the week ends?
No. Maya isn’t a subscription, and each plan is a one-time purchase that ends when its days end. The exception is Auto Top-Up, which is opt-in and off by default. You can turn it off any time from My eSIM in the app or at maya.net, with immediate effect.
Which countries do Vodafone’s Europe zones cover?
Vodafone’s Zone A covers Iceland, the Republic of Ireland, the Isle of Man and Norway. Zone B covers 47 European destinations, including France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Poland and Croatia (Vodafone, 2023). Vodafone’s Europe Roaming Passes are Zone B products.
What does two weeks or a month in Europe cost on Vodafone and on Maya?
On Vodafone, the 15-day Europe Roaming Pass is £21, and without a pass the daily charge is £2.75 a day (Vodafone UK, 2026). Our 14-day plan is USD 27.99, and the 30-day one costs USD 49.99 (Maya Mobile, 2026). With the eSIM installed correctly, your local carrier typically won’t charge roaming fees for the data it carries, though that is a typical result and no guarantee.
When does Vodafone’s daily roaming charge apply?
It applies when your Pay Monthly plan doesn’t include roaming in Europe and you haven’t bought a pass. In Zone B that is £2.75 a day (Vodafone, 2026). Plans that started before 11 August 2021 have no changes to roaming.
Maya is one travel eSIM with unlimited data across 165+ countries and a daily high-speed allowance, priced flat by trip length: 7 days is USD 19.99.
