Compare prepaid eSIM data plans for the most popular travel destinations worldwide.

Why Compare eSIM Plans by Country?

Prices and data allowances vary significantly between countries and carriers. A 10GB plan that costs $25 USD in Mexico might cost $45 USD in Japan due to local carrier pricing. Comparing plans by destination helps you find the best value for your specific trip, ensuring you get enough data at the right price.

How to Choose the Right Plan

  • Data Amount: Estimate your usage: 1–3GB for light use (maps, messaging), 5–10GB for moderate use (social media, email), 15GB+ for heavy streaming and work.
  • Trip Duration: For trips under 7 days, a smaller plan with top-up options is usually best. For stays over 2 weeks, a larger plan offers better value.
  • Network Coverage: All our plans connect to major local carriers. Check our destination pages for specific network partner information.
