I really enjoy the customer service of Simify. They respond so quickly. The service is truly exemplary. I’ve used SImify a few times and will continue to do so. They’re excellent with both coverage and assistance (whether home or overseas)

Verified BuyerI’m not very tech savvy so I was a bit hesitant to get an eSIM on my phone but this is my second one through Simify. They have everything you need to know and step-by-step on how to do it. The app makes it easier to keep track of everything too.
I always feel at ease when I travel knowing I have the best eSIM sidekick! I’ve travelled for 4 years and been a long-term user of Simify and I wouldn’t look back 🌏 ❤️
Everything about the process is easy, with immediate help and follow up if required. The customer service is outstanding.

Good prices and plenty of GBs to get you through your trip, Simify has never disappointed and very easy to use. Help is only seconds away if you get stuck on how to use...
I’ve used other eSIM companies in the past, but after trying out Simify I won’t ever waste my time on any others again. Simify has been perfect from purchase through to use. Very easy to follow process which was faultless from the get go. 100% the best international eSIM out there. They’ve won me over for sure. Thanks Simify👍👍🙏

Unlimited Europe & UK eSIM: Prepaid Travel Data Plans for Europe & UK
Unlimited Europe & UK eSIM
Europe & UK eSIM FAQs: your questions, answered
How do I buy a Europe eSIM online?
You can buy a Europe eSIM online from Simify in a couple of minutes — choose your plan, pay securely, and your eSIM QR code arrives by email within minutes. Because you buy your eSIM for Europe before you fly, you can install it at home on Wi-Fi and simply connect when you land.
Which Europe networks and eSIM providers does Simify use?
As a trusted Europe & UK eSIM provider, Simify connects to leading networks in each country — Orange, Vodafone, Telefónica, EE and Vodafone UK and more — automatically selecting the strongest local signal as you cross borders, including into the United Kingdom, and you can switch networks manually any time. You get reliable coverage across Europe and the UK without comparing a long providers list or buying a new SIM in each country.
What Europe eSIM plans are available?
We offer flexible Europe eSIM plans to match your trip: a fixed-data plan for shorter or lighter stays, and an Unlimited plan for heavier users. Every plan is data-only and supports hotspot and tethering — just note that sharing uses data faster, so the Unlimited plan suits heavy hotspot use best. There’s a Europe eSIM plan whether you’re visiting for a weekend or a month.
Is there an unlimited data eSIM for Europe?
Yes — Simify offers an Unlimited Europe eSIM, so you can stay connected for the whole plan period and use your phone freely for maps, social and messaging without watching a data meter. Choose the plan length that suits your trip, from short stays up to 180 days — it’s the easy, stress-free choice for day-to-day travel.
How much does it cost — is this a cheap Europe eSIM?
Simify is one of the most cost-effective ways to stay connected across Europe. A prepaid Europe eSIM avoids the expensive per-day roaming the big carriers charge, with clear upfront pricing and no surprise bills. Plans are priced by trip length and data, and first-time customers can unlock a discount by signing up to the Simify newsletter — so it typically works out far cheaper than telco roaming.
Is it a prepaid or pay-as-you-go Europe eSIM?
Yes — every Simify Europe eSIM is prepaid, so it works on a simple pay-as-you-go basis: pay once up front, with no contract and no postpaid bills. If your trip runs long, you can top up an eligible Unlimited eSIM with extra days in the Simify app, or choose the unlimited option up front. No surprises, no bill shock with our prepaid Europe eSIM.
Is this a good tourist eSIM for Europe and short-term visitors?
Definitely. Our Europe tourist eSIM is built for travellers and short-term visitors — no passport, no local address and no shop queue required. It’s a popular choice among Europe eSIM providers for tourists because you can set it up at home before you fly and connect the moment you land.
Do I get a physical Europe eSIM card, or is it digital?
A Europe eSIM is a digital SIM — there’s no physical eSIM card to insert. Your phone downloads the profile from a QR code. If you’d prefer a physical Europe SIM card as a backup for an older device we offer that too, but most modern phones only need the digital e-SIM.
Does the Europe eSIM come with a Europe number?
No — Simify Europe eSIMs are data-only, so they don’t include a local phone number or traditional calls and texts. The eSIM runs alongside your home SIM so you keep your existing number, and you can call and message over data using WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Keep your home SIM switched on if you still want to receive standard calls or one-time passcodes (SMS).
Is this a travel eSIM for Europe?
Yes — Simify is a purpose-built travel eSIM for Europe. It gives Aussie travellers fast internet and data the moment they land, with no roaming fees and no SIM swapping. Whether it’s a city break or a month exploring the country, our Europe travel eSIM keeps you online.
Will my eSIM work on the train from London to Paris, Amsterdam or Rome?
Yes. Your eSIM works across borders on Europe and the UK’s main rail routes — Eurostar out of London, TGV, Trenitalia, DB and more — with no profile switching from country to country. Signal may briefly vary in long tunnels like the Channel Tunnel but reconnects quickly, and you can check platforms and connections on Trainline or Google Maps throughout the journey.
Can I book an Uber at the airport as soon as I land?
Absolutely. Turn data roaming on when you land and you’ll have an immediate 5G/4G connection — open Uber, Bolt or FreeNow and book your ride while you’re still walking to arrivals, no airport Wi-Fi queue needed — in whichever European city you’ve landed.
Does this cover the UK, and what about countries outside Europe?
Yes — the UK is included. Our Europe & UK eSIM covers 50+ European countries plus England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland on one plan, so you’re connected whether you’re in Paris, Rome or London. For destinations outside the plan’s coverage, choose our unlimited Global eSIM, which keeps you online across dozens of countries worldwide.
When does the eSIM activate, and when should I install it?
Installing your eSIM doesn’t start your plan — validity begins when it first connects to a supported network at your destination, so you can buy and install up to 180 days before you travel. Keep the eSIM line switched off until you arrive, then turn it on and enable data roaming to connect. That way your plan won’t start early.
What’s the difference between an e-SIM and a normal SIM for Europe?
An e-SIM (or “e sim”) is a digital SIM built into your phone — there’s no plastic Europe e-SIM card to insert or swap. For Europe it simply means you download your plan and connect while your normal SIM stays in place. Every Simify Europe e-sim is data-only and runs alongside your existing SIM.
Which is the cheapest Europe eSIM plan, and are there any deals?
The best-value Europe eSIM depends on your trip: shorter or lighter trips suit a fixed-data plan, while longer or heavier trips suit the Unlimited plan. First-time customers can unlock a discount by signing up to the Simify newsletter, and multi-trip or multi-country bundles can save more again — so it works out cheaper than telco roaming either way.
How much Europe data do I get, and is it a data-only eSIM?
Every Simify Europe eSIM is a data-only plan — great for maps, social and staying in touch over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Fixed plans come with a set data amount for your trip, while the Unlimited plan gives you high-speed data throughout your plan period. Just pick the Europe data eSIM that matches how much you expect to use.
Can one eSIM cover Europe and other countries?
Yes — that’s exactly what the Europe eSIM is: a single plan covering 50+ countries across the continent, with a Europe & UK option that adds the United Kingdom. One eSIM works from country to country with no reinstalling at each border, and all plans are data-only. For a worldwide trip, our unlimited Global eSIM extends the same convenience beyond Europe.
Does the Europe & UK eSIM give me internet across the UK, Western, Southern and Eastern Europe?
Yes — your Europe & UK eSIM provides mobile internet across 50+ countries plus the United Kingdom on leading local networks, from London, Paris and Madrid to Rome, Germany, Greece and Eastern Europe. Coverage is near-total in cities and towns; speeds can dip in remote alpine valleys, the Scottish Highlands or on smaller islands, so it’s worth downloading offline maps for those stretches.
Which Europe eSIM plan should I choose for my trip?
For a short city break, a smaller fixed Europe eSIM data plan is usually plenty; for longer trips or heavier use, the Unlimited plan won’t stop mid-trip and is better value. Match the plan’s data and validity to your travel dates — and if you’ll hotspot a laptop or tablet, the Unlimited plan handles that best.
Is Simify a Europe eSIM provider I can trust as a tourist?
Simify is an established travel-eSIM provider used by over 1,000,000 travellers and rated Excellent on Trustpilot. Instead of scrolling a long Europe eSIM providers list, you get one trusted provider on major Europe networks, with friendly human support and a 100% money-back guarantee if your eSIM doesn’t work and you’ve contacted our team.
How do I set up and connect my Europe eSIM?
After you buy, your QR code arrives by email. Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly (installing won’t start your plan), keep the eSIM turned off until you arrive, then switch it on and turn data roaming on to connect. Setup takes a couple of minutes — no shop visit and no passport needed.
