Holafly sells per-country and regional eSIM plans plus unlimited monthly and annual global plans, and every one is sold as unlimited data. Holafly’s own terms note that some network operators may apply limits. Maya’s Global eSIM covers 165+ countries with unlimited data at one flat price by trip length (3, 7, 14 or 30 days), from USD 9.99.

The catch is the catalog. Pick wrong, and you’re reading fine print at the baggage carousel.

Holafly eSIM plans come per country, per region or monthly

Holafly sells eSIM plans per country and per region (Europe, Latin America, Cruise), plus unlimited monthly and annual global plans. Each is sold as unlimited data. So the right plan depends on how many countries your trip crosses.

Holafly’s home page says you install through its app or a QR code and activate your data when you land, with no physical SIM swap. Its monthly subscription is different: Holafly says the billing cycle starts on the purchase date and renews automatically every 30 days.

The country pages carry their own details. Holafly’s Mexico and Italy pages say you can use the eSIM as a hotspot and share 1 GB per day, so a 7-day plan includes 7 GB of sharable data. Its Colombia page says that eSIM is data only, with no local number for calls or texts.

Say, hypothetically, your trip hits three countries. You’d weigh three country plans against one regional plan against a monthly subscription before you’ve packed a charger.

What data limits apply to Holafly unlimited eSIM plans?

Holafly’s published allowance reads: “Unlimited data means there is no fixed limit on the amount of data you can use.” It adds: “However, some network operators may temporarily reduce your speed after a certain amount of high-speed data usage, as explained above.”

Holafly’s help page on subscriptions says unlimited data plans fall under a fair use policy. That policy reduces speed in cases of unusually high usage, to keep network quality up for all users. Its home page also advertises an eSIM with 25 GB of data, so read which plan you’re buying.

Reading the wording matters. In 2019 the FTC’s settlement with AT&T barred the carrier from calling its mobile data “unlimited” without disclosing material restrictions on speed or amount (Federal Trade Commission, 2019). A limit behind the word belongs on the page where you can see it.

Speeds after the allowance depend on local network conditions.

How does Holafly price its eSIM plans?

Holafly prices by destination and plan length, with monthly and annual subscriptions on top, so the cost changes with the country and the days.

Holafly’s plans page lists its monthly plans at €59.95 and €84.90 a month, billed monthly.

What is Holafly’s refund policy for its eSIM plans?

Holafly publishes its own refund terms, and they start with a clock: you have up to 6 months to request a refund. On its Refund Policy page, Holafly says: “If there have been changes in your plans and you no longer need your Holafly eSIM, we will provide you with a full refund.”

Other cases run on a sliding scale. Holafly says: “In all other cases, a partial or full refund (with an administrative fee of $3.50 USD) may be issued depending on the data you have used.” So the amount depends on what you’ve used, and a fee comes off.

Once a refund is approved, Holafly’s FAQs say it is processed within 5 to 10 business days, Monday to Friday (Holafly FAQs, 2026).

The law has its own view. Spain’s Punto de Acceso General says buyers in remote sales get 14 calendar days to return a product for a full refund. It also says online digital content is excluded once you’ve begun the download and agreed to forfeit your right to withdraw. Check which rule covers your purchase before you hit pay.

What should you check in any travel eSIM before you pay?

Check four things. How is the price set: by country, by gigabyte or by trip length? What do the unlimited terms say about daily limits? What do the refund terms cover? And does the plan end on its own or renew? Read those four and you know what the plan really costs.

Start with the unlimited wording. A two-star Trustpilot review of Yesim from August 21, 2026 reads: “I bought unlimited for sweden but I didn’t get unlimited. After about 55 GB of mobile data they limited me to very slow internet.”

Atlas, a small globe with a massive passport, shrugs at lost luggage. Even he wants the limit stated up front.

Then the refund terms. Ask what triggers one, how long you have, and whether data used changes the amount.

Last, the ending. Our plans end when the days end. Auto Top-Up is opt-in only and off by default; turn it on and the plan renews automatically when it expires. If you’ve turned it on, we give at least 30 days’ notice of any price increase.

What each travel eSIM gives a traveler for data, plans and limits

The table lists each company’s own published plan structure and its own unlimited data terms. A traveler can read across the rows and see who sells by country, by region, by gigabyte or by month, and who states a daily limit.

Travel eSIM How plans are sold Unlimited plan allowance, as published Refund terms, as published
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. Purchase your Holafly eSIM with added peace of mind. You have up to 6 months to request a refund.

Each rival’s cells are its own published words, or a short summary of what it states, read from its own site on October 9, 2026; the Maya Mobile cells are from maya.net.

Every row states what sits behind the word unlimited. Four of them sell some mix of country, region and gigabyte. Ours sells days.

How Maya prices unlimited by trip length, not by country

Install our eSIM once and it stays on your phone. Pick 3, 7, 14 or 30 days, from USD 9.99, and you get unlimited data across 165+ countries, with the daily high-speed allowance spelled out in our terms. Nothing to reinstall.

The 3-day plan is USD 9.99 (USD 3.33 per day), and the 14-day plan, which the app marks Most Popular, is USD 27.99 (USD 2.00 per day). We offer four core plan types, each giving unlimited global data across 165+ countries as a prepaid, time-based data pass.

One plan covers multi-country travel, so you don’t switch SIMs or change plans when you add countries. A longer trip takes another plan, and the eSIM stays installed. No country menu. No hunting for the right pack.

Pick your days and go.

Maya Mobile: one eSIM you install once and reuse every trip

Maya Mobile is a travel eSIM giving unlimited data in 165+ countries through a single eSIM that stays on your phone. The Global + Cruise plan, bought separately, adds 20+ cruise lines. Holafly makes you read a plan by destination and by month. We turn that into one eSIM, one flat price for the days of your trip.

Keep the eSIM installed. We recommend it, so it’s ready for your next trip. For each trip you buy a new plan, with no reinstalling.

Jason gave us five stars on Trustpilot on January 27, 2026: “The Maya esim was cheap, $50 ish dollars for unlimited data. Easy to use, and it worked in Singapore, Bali, Lombok and Penang. With great signal.”

You stop shopping for data. You own your connection.

Questions travelers ask about Holafly and travel eSIMs

Is there a Holafly discount code, and what does it take off?

Holafly publishes student pricing of up to 15% off its regular prices. Its discount page says only one promo code can be applied per purchase. We don’t repeat affiliate codes. Check the plan’s data and refund terms first, because a code changes the price and nothing else.

Is coverage guaranteed with a travel eSIM?

No. We state 165+ countries, but service in a specific country isn’t guaranteed and can vary for reasons outside our control. You need a Maya account to purchase and manage an eSIM, so set that up before you fly.

Does a travel eSIM plan renew on its own?

Not on ours. Each plan is a one-time purchase and ends when its days end, unless you turn on Auto Top-Up. It’s off by default, and you can switch it off any time from My eSIM in the app or at maya.net, with immediate effect. Holafly’s monthly plans work differently: Holafly says the billing cycle renews automatically every 30 days.

Do travel eSIMs cover cruises?

Ours does on the Global + Cruise plan, a separate purchase from the Global plan. It covers 20+ cruise lines and 165+ countries, including Royal Caribbean International, Norwegian Cruise Line and Carnival Cruise Line. Speeds at sea can differ from land-based coverage. Holafly lists Cruise plans among its own.

Is unlimited data worth it on a 3-day trip?

Yes, if you’d rather not count gigabytes. Our 3-day Global plan is USD 9.99 (USD 3.33 per day) for unlimited data across 165+ countries. Longer trip? The 30-day plan is USD 49.99.


Maya gives you one eSIM, installed once, with unlimited data across 165+ countries and a flat price for the days of your trip, from USD 9.99.
