Esim recommendations

Posted by Frank II (Freedonia) on 03/19/24 03:15 PM

My upcoming weeklong trip to Europe will include the UK, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

It's not really a week. Actually a little over two months. I just wanted to get people's attention. (LOL) And no, I'm not taking in the entire country of each place.

Since I'm not sure how well T-Mobile will work in some of these places, I'm looking for an esim that will give me coverage everywhere I mentioned.

No need to tell me you got coverage here or there, I'm just looking for an esim recommendation for these countries to use as a backup.

I used Airalo and it has a regional Europe package that is decently priced and works well. https://www.airalo.com/europe-esim

It would be overkill to list all the countries I have used the Airalo regional Europe esim in. But so far only 3 from your list. It hasn’t let me down yet, except once in Croatia (and I just had to install the esim - thought I already had and had just topped it up), so I put it down to a bit of user error.

Someone recently had a glitch one day with Airalo in Tallinn. But I will be using it there in September. I have also used the global esim that has a telephone number once and it worked also. Bosnia is not covered by the regional Europe choice - had to use a Bosnia-only one when I was there, and just toggle back and forth depending on where I was.

That is still a pretty good list of countries for 2 months! LOL!
