eSIM in Europe

Data is what keeps a multi-country trip moving. You'll navigate the Paris Métro on Google Maps, book cross-border trains in Trainline or DB Navigator, translate menus in Vienna, and keep the WhatsApp group chat alive while half your friends are in Spain and the rest in Italy.

Getting an eSIM for Europe is simple. Order online before you fly, tap the install link that arrives by email, and your phone sets the eSIM up itself — no store visits, no airport paperwork. The plan then follows you across every covered country, from waffle stops in Brussels to Alpine trains through Switzerland.

Staying connected in Europe

Practical advice for using mobile data in Europe.

1

Set up before you fly

Buy your Europe eSIM at home and install it with one tap on hotel or home WiFi — the install link arrives by email, with a QR code as backup. When you land at Heathrow or Schiphol, just switch the line on — you'll be online while other arrivals queue at SIM kiosks.

2

Borders need nothing from you

Cross from France into Belgium or Germany into Austria and your phone picks up a local network on the other side automatically. One plan covers 42 European countries, so skip juggling separate country eSIMs.

3

Offline maps for the Alps

Alpine routes through Switzerland and Austria run through long tunnels and remote valleys where every signal dips. Save offline Google Maps for the region before your train leaves Zurich, and navigation keeps working between stations.

4

Book trains in the app

Rail is the easiest way to hop between covered countries. Trainline handles cross-border routes, DB Navigator covers Germany, and SNCF Connect covers France — mobile tickets mean no station queues from Paris to Berlin.

5

Hotspot on long train rides

Traveling as a group? One phone can share its connection over hotspot, keeping tablets and laptops online on the Eurostar from London to Paris or an ICE train across Germany.
