Our verdict
EtravelSIM suits travellers who want a wide catalogue of country and regional eSIMs at a low entry price. It is a marketplace rather than a carrier, it covers from 190 countries, and the catch is that unlimited plans exclude hotspot.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Broad catalogue at from 190 countries with a global option for multi country trips
- Entry pricing from €3.95 suits short trips and light usage
- Unlimited plans, next generation networks, hotspot on paid plans and instant activation are all listed features
- Support spans email, chat and phone and top ups are available
Cons
- Hotspot sharing is not supported on unlimited plans, even though paid plans allow it
- Plans run through a marketplace model rather than a single carrier, so network control sits with the local partner
- The unlimited allowance resets each day at full speed, then throttles, which suits messaging more than heavy streaming
Who it suits
- Travellers covering several countries on one trip who want one low entry price
- Short trips where a small plan is enough and spending should stay low
- People who want unlimited data, next generation networks and instant activation on a paid plan
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs hotspot on an unlimited plan, since unlimited plans exclude it
- Travellers who want a single carrier relationship rather than a marketplace resale
- Heavy streaming users who need full speed around the clock, as the daily fair use cap applies
Price per GB and validity
Plans start at €3.95. Reference plan prices list the US and UK at the entry tier, with Europe, Japan, Turkey and Mexico a step above and Thailand at the top of that range. Reference allowances sit at €11.95 in the US, €11.95 in Japan and €8.95 in France, so larger allowances cost more by region. Validity follows the plan you pick, with options for short and long trips and top ups if you run out early.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs EtravelSIM and how does it work?+
EtravelSIM is a marketplace run by ETravelSim Pte Ltd. and based in Singapore. It resells eSIM plans from local partners instead of operating its own network, which is why the catalogue is spread across from 190 countries.
What does an EtravelSIM plan cost?+
Entry pricing starts at €3.95. Reference plan prices run from that floor up to a higher tier for Thailand, so a heavy user pays more than a light one. Plans are sold per country or per region rather than as one global bucket.
Is the data really unlimited?+
Data is available on an unlimited basis, though the fair use policy sets a daily high speed allowance at full network speed. Once that is used up, data continues at a much slower speed and the allowance resets every day, so heavy streaming will feel the slowdown.
Can I use the hotspot?+
Hotspot sharing is offered on paid plans. On unlimited plans it is not supported, which matters if you plan to share a connection with a laptop or several phones on a data hungry trip.
How wide is the coverage?+
Coverage runs to from 190 countries, so most itineraries are covered by a single plan. Networks listed for the US include AT&T, T-Mobile and Lycamobile, and a global regional option exists for multi country travel.
How do I get help if a plan fails?+
Support runs through email, chat and phone, so help is available by live chat, email, phone and a self service help centre. Instant activation is listed among the features, meaning the eSIM is usable shortly after purchase.
Can I add data while I am travelling?+
Top ups are available, so a plan can be topped up when data runs out mid trip. Combined with a budget model and prices from €3.95, that suits short trips and travellers who want control over spend.
Who is EtravelSIM aimed at?+
The service is aimed at both short and long trips, and features include unlimited data, next generation networks, hotspot and instant activation. Coverage is global in scope, so one plan can cover a multi country itinerary rather than a single market.
