Our verdict
Amigo eSIM suits travellers who want a single app for short trips or longer stays, with plans from €5 and coverage across from 194 countries. Local, regional and global plans sit alongside a fair use policy, so heavy streaming and shared routers are a weaker match.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Plans start at €5, with a price per GB from €2.50
- Coverage spans from 194 countries across local, regional and global plans
- Hotspot sharing is supported and activation is instant, so a profile works from the first hour of a trip
- Top-ups are available, so a running plan can be extended rather than replaced
Cons
- The fair use policy allows traffic shaping and throttling, and profiles can be disconnected for use outside legitimate consumer use
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with no phone line or live chat in that list
- The fair use policy limits a gateway device or eSIM box to setups with written consent, so shared routers sit outside the terms
Who it suits
- Travellers on short trips who need usable data on arrival, since activation is instant
- Longer stays where the included data runs out early, because top-ups are available
- People crossing several countries who want local, regional and global plans in a single marketplace
Who should look elsewhere
- Zwitchy, for anyone comparing a wider country list against the from 194 Amigo eSIM covers
- eSIMGo.is, for a lower entry point than €5 when the budget is the deciding factor
- SimToIsrael, for a higher starting price at $25 when one destination is all you need
Coverage and networks
Plans reach from 194 countries, and you can pick local, regional or global cover depending on the trip. Named network partners include O2, Three and EE, so a single profile can land on different hosts as borders change. Local plans suit a single destination, while regional and global options suit multi-country trips.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an Amigo eSIM plan cost?+
Plans start at €5, and the price per GB starts at €2.50. A Japan package is listed at €25, while smaller reference plans for the US, Europe and the UK sit at the entry price.
Which countries does Amigo eSIM cover?+
Coverage reaches from 194 countries. Local plans suit a single destination, regional plans group neighbouring countries, and a global plan covers a wider area on the same profile with a different host network in each place.
Which networks does an Amigo eSIM connect to?+
Named network partners include O2, Three and EE. The host can differ by country and by the package chosen, so signal quality follows the local partner rather than a single network everywhere you travel.
Can I share my Amigo eSIM connection?+
Hotspot sharing is supported, so the connection can be shared with a laptop or tablet. Activation is instant once the profile is installed, which keeps it useful from the first hour of a trip.
Can I add more data while I am travelling?+
Top-ups are available, so data can be added to a running plan rather than buying another plan, without changing device or plan. That suits longer trips where the included allowance runs out partway through the stay.
What does the fair use policy allow?+
The fair use policy states that traffic shaping and throttling are possible, and that eSIM profiles may be disconnected for use outside legitimate consumer use. A gateway device or eSIM box is limited to setups with written consent, so shared routers sit outside the terms.
How do I contact Amigo eSIM support?+
Support runs on email and help centre, so a help centre covers setup and troubleshooting while email handles anything else. A phone line and live chat are not among that list, so time-sensitive problems may wait for a reply.
Is Amigo eSIM aimed at short trips or long stays?+
Its plans are listed for short trip and long trip, so short trips and long trips are both covered. Top-ups help on longer stays when the included data runs out, and instant activation suits quick departures.
Who runs Amigo eSIM?+
The service is run by Core Communication Retail Limited, a company registered in the United Kingdom. It works as a marketplace, selling plans from network partners rather than running a network of its own, with support handled by email and a help centre.
