Downloadable Western Europe SIM card with prepaid data
An eSIM is an embedded SIM card, and you probably already have an eSIM-compatible device. When you install an eSIM for a country or region, it lets your device connect to local networks in that area. This means your device will have data without needing Wi-Fi or paying roaming charges.
Western Europe includes France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain, and the region is known for its historic architecture, diverse foods and captivating natural landscapes.
On your trip to Western Europe, you’ll always want to stay in touch and share your experiences with your family and friends. This is where an eSIM is useful!
A Western Europe eSIM will connect your device with local networks in France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, providing you with immediate mobile data so you can stay connected without needing Wi-Fi.
The amount of mobile data you’ll use in Western Europe really depends on two factors: how easily you’ll be able to find a Wi-Fi connection, and how much time you’ll be spending on your device.
When you leave your hotel, you may want to browse information about different attractions or pull up maps for driving/walking directions.
Luckily, a Western Europe eSIM can keep you connected in spots without Wi-Fi. Just choose a prepaid data package that suits your needs, and you can always add more data if you need it partway through your trip.
Say no to roaming charges! With a Western Europe eSIM, your phone won’t need to use your home network at all.
Once your eSIM is installed and activated on your device, it will connect you to local networks across France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain (just as if you were a local citizen).
Just be sure to switch off Data Roaming on your Primary SIM to avoid any charges from your home carrier. You’ll want your device to only rely on your travel eSIM for data.
