Our verdict

ESIMITY is a Germany-based marketplace with one of the widest maps here, covering 205 countries across regional and global plans. It suits travellers who want broad coverage, 5G and hotspot sharing on a top-up, and accept paying more per gigabyte than the cheapest sellers.

Price per GB and validity

Plans start at €1.97, and the lowest price per gigabyte is €2.97. Reference plan prices vary by destination: Europe starts lower than Japan, and a US plan sits in between. For longer trips, expect the total to climb with the size of the data allowance you pick, and note that unlimited data is not offered here.

How ESIMITY compares

Frequently asked questions

How much does an ESIMITY eSIM cost?+

Plans start at €1.97, and the lowest price per gigabyte is €2.97. Destination matters: reference plan prices start lower for Europe and the UK, and higher for Japan, so where you are going shapes what you pay.

Which countries does ESIMITY cover?+

Coverage spans 205 countries, with both regional and global plans listed. You can pick a regional plan for a single trip area or a global plan when the route crosses several regions.

Does ESIMITY offer unlimited data?+

Unlimited data is not offered. Every plan comes with a set data allowance, so heavy streaming or constant navigation can use it up, and top-ups are available if you need more data mid-trip.

Can I use my ESIMITY eSIM as a hotspot?+

Yes, hotspot sharing is supported, so you can share data with a laptop or tablet. The plans also list 5G, which helps on faster local networks where they are live.

How long does an ESIMITY eSIM take to activate?+

Instant activation is listed among the plan features, so there is no waiting period for a physical SIM to arrive. Plans cover both short trips and long trips.

Who does ESIMITY suit?+

It suits travellers on a multi-country trip who want one eSIM with broad coverage rather than a single-market plan. It also fits anyone who needs 5G or hotspot sharing, or who wants a marketplace with local, regional and global sellers.

How do I get support from ESIMITY?+

Support runs on email and help centre. The operator is Esimity UG (haftungsbeschränkt) in Germany, so help comes by email or through the help centre rather than by phone or chat.

What networks does ESIMITY use?+

In the United States, plans run on AT&T USA and Verizon USA. Network detail varies by country, so check the coverage details for each destination on your route before you buy.
