Questions about each
GoMo
How much does a GoMo eSIM cost?+
Plans start at €3.99, and the price per GB works out at €1.33. Several allowance tiers sit above the entry plan in Europe, the United States, Japan and Turkey. Top-ups are available if a plan runs short mid-trip.
How many countries does GoMo cover?+
GoMo covers 200 countries, which places it high on our coverage ranking among the brands we compare. Regional plans handle single destinations such as Japan or Turkey, while global plans suit itineraries that cross several borders.
Does GoMo offer unlimited data?+
No. GoMo sells regional and global plans with set allowances, so unlimited data is not part of the range. A fair use policy applies per billing cycle, and heavy streaming or tethering beyond the plan allowance is limited.
Can GoMo eSIMs share a hotspot?+
Yes. Hotspot sharing is available and appears in 5g, hotspot and instant activation alongside 5G and instant activation, so a laptop or a few phones can share the connection. 5G is available in supported destinations, which keeps a tethered connection off slower networks.
