Airalo’s Europe eSIM covers 41 countries, with unlimited packages from $11.50 USD for 3 days, and a daily fair-use limit applies to unlimited. Our Global eSIM gives unlimited data across 165+ countries, with a daily high-speed allowance that resets every 24 hours, then standard speed, priced flat by trip length from USD 9.99.
Airalo’s Europe eSIM covers 41 countries, and unlimited has a daily cap
Airalo’s regional Europe eSIM covers 41 countries across Europe, and you buy and install the profile in the Airalo app before you depart. Its unlimited packages have no fixed total data cap, but a daily threshold applies.
Airalo sells per country, per region or as one global plan, priced in USD, and its home page promises 200+ locations. It offers three install methods (Direct, manual and QR), and says the Direct Method is the fastest. In many cases you can top up an Airalo eSIM instead of buying a new one.
For a route that crosses borders, one profile means no SIM swap at the station.
How much data and how many days do Airalo’s Europe eSIM plans give?
Airalo’s Europe page lists unlimited packages at $11.50 USD for 3 days, $19.50 for 5 days, $27.00 for 7 days, $35.00 for 10 days, $49.00 for 15 days and $71.00 for 30 days. Our Global plan is USD 9.99 for 3 days, USD 19.99 for 7 days and USD 49.99 for 30 days.
Airalo says a package lasts for its presented validity period, as long as you don’t use all the data before then. If the data runs out first, the package is done early. The pack you pick sets your days, so you settle that before you leave.
What happens when you use more than 3 GB a day on Airalo unlimited?
Airalo’s unlimited packages have no fixed total data cap, and its own published terms say that past 3 GB in a day, your speed slows to 1 Mbps for the rest of that day. The Europe tiers run from $11.50 USD for 3 days to $71.00 for 30 days, so unlimited on Airalo’s Europe eSIM means no total cap, with a daily threshold.
At 1 Mbps, Airalo says you can still message, browse simple pages, use maps for navigation and make lower-quality video calls. Streaming video, gaming and large downloads slow down until the reset. Airalo also says the exact daily amount is listed in the Additional Information for each eSIM.
What should you check on any unlimited eSIM before buying for Europe?
Check one thing in the provider’s own terms: whether the high-speed limit counts per day or per plan.
Here is what a mismatch looks like. In a one-star Trustpilot review of Orange Travel from March 5, 2026, Nathan alleges the company’s site promised no daily caps and no speed limits on an unlimited plan. He says he was then restricted for using too much data. He also alleges support took two days to investigate, confirmed the restriction, refused to lift it and offered extra data for a charge.
Which European countries does Airalo’s Europe eSIM cover?
Airalo’s Europe eSIM covers 41 European countries on one profile, as Airalo’s own listing states, so a trip crossing several borders needs no SIM swap.
Airalo also lists a separate European Union and United Kingdom plan from $4.00 USD.
How do you install a Europe eSIM on your phone before you fly?
Scan your carrier’s QR code and follow the prompts for your phone. On an iPhone, that starts with the Camera app (Apple Support, 2026).
Apple’s steps after setup: open the Camera app and scan the QR code, then tap the Cellular Plan Detected notification. Tap Continue, then Add Cellular Plan. If asked for a confirmation code, enter the number your carrier provided.
To move an eSIM from another iPhone, Apple Support’s published procedure runs in this order:
- Open the Settings app on your new iPhone.
- Tap Cellular.
- Tap Set Up Cellular or Add eSIM.
- Choose a cellular plan to transfer from another iPhone. If no list of numbers shows up, choose Transfer From Nearby iPhone.
- Follow the instructions on your previous iPhone. Confirm by tapping Transfer, or type in the verification code shown on your new iPhone if it asks for one.
- Wait for the cellular plan to activate on your new iPhone. Once the plan activates on your new iPhone, your previous SIM is deactivated.
- If your new iPhone shows Finish Setting Up Your Carrier’s Cellular Plan, tap it, and your carrier’s webpage opens so you can transfer your eSIM. If you need help, contact your carrier.
On a Samsung Galaxy, Samsung’s published steps for adding an eSIM with a carrier QR code are:
- Navigate to and open Settings, then tap Connections, then tap SIM manager, and then tap Add eSIM.
- Tap Scan QR code, and then scan your carrier’s QR code.
- Restart the device to apply the eSIM profile.
On a Pixel, Google’s published steps are:
- Before setting up an eSIM, check with your carrier to make sure it’s supported.
- Open the Settings app. Then, tap Network & internet.
- Tap SIMs.
- Tap Download a new eSIM.
Done. Your eSIM is on the phone before you reach the departure gate.
Which travel eSIM should you buy for a Europe trip with unlimited data?
Airalo, Holafly, Saily and Ubigi each define unlimited in their own published words, and ours sits in the same rows. Airalo’s fair use policy says that “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.” Saily gives 5 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi gives 60GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps. Holafly says some network operators may temporarily reduce speed after a certain amount of high-speed data.

FAQ
What do travel eSIMs include besides data in Europe?
No phone number, on ours. Maya Mobile eSIM plans are data only, with no local phone number for calling or SMS. Airalo says it offers flexible data packages, and that some of them have calls and texts.
How do hotspot limits work on unlimited travel eSIMs?
Hotspot and tethering are included with every Maya plan at no extra cost, where the local network allows it, and regular roaming use is fine, including a hotspot for a laptop or tablet on Zoom calls. Other devices that need mobile data can each get their own eSIM, and commercially reselling the connection is off limits. Airalo says you can use a personal hotspot as long as your device and the network support it.
How do you extend a Europe eSIM when your trip runs long?
Buy another plan, or turn on Auto Top-Up. Auto Top-Up is an optional feature that buys the same plan again when the current one expires, and it only renews if you turn it on. You can switch it on at checkout or in the app, and off any time from My eSIM. Airalo says that in many cases you can top up its eSIMs too.
Why does a travel eSIM sometimes feel slow in Europe, and what can you do?
Reset the connection first: turn on Airplane Mode, wait 30 seconds, then switch it off. If that doesn’t help, select a network manually. After the daily high-speed allowance runs out, our plans move to standard speed, and no speed is guaranteed. Still nothing after 15 minutes? See the eSIM Connection Troubleshooting Guide, or submit a request to support, since you may be in an area without service or facing a network issue outside our control.
Should you buy a Europe plan or a global eSIM for a trip that goes beyond Europe?
Go global once the route leaves Europe. Airalo sells a regional plan for Europe (41 countries) and also one global plan, while one Maya eSIM covers 165+ countries at the same price in every country.
Do you need to turn on data roaming to use a travel eSIM in Europe?
Yes. On landing, switch on the Maya eSIM and select it for Cellular Data, which is when the plan clock starts. Turn On This Line and Data Roaming must both be ON for the eSIM plan, and after the plan is added, Data Roaming must be set to ON in your phone’s Settings for the eSIM.
Maya is one Global eSIM for 165+ countries, with unlimited data and a daily high-speed allowance, sold by trip length so a Europe trip runs on one install.
