Our verdict
Holafly suits travelers who would rather pay once and stop counting gigabytes: unlimited data across 200 countries, plans from €45.95, and hotspot sharing as standard. The trade-off sits in setup, with top-ups not offered and a Fair Usage Policy that can slow speeds for a stretch.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Unlimited data across 200 countries on a global plan, subject to an international Fair Usage Policy.
- Prices run from €45.95, with a starting rate of €1.84 per GB.
- Hotspot sharing is included, so a laptop or a second phone can share the same plan.
Cons
- Top-ups are not among its feature set (unlimited data, 5g and hotspot), so extra data needs a new plan rather than an extension mid-trip.
- Unlimited data still sits under an international Fair Usage Policy, where network operators can temporarily reduce speed.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only.
Who it suits
- Travellers on a long or multi-country trip who would rather not track data use.
- People sharing a connection with a laptop or a second phone on the move.
- Anyone buying connectivity for the whole trip in advance and wanting instant activation.
Who should look elsewhere
- Travellers on a tight budget buying a single country: eSIMGo.is starts at $0.99.
- Anyone whose trip is only in Israel: SimToIsrael plans run from $25.
- Travellers who want to add data part-way through a trip, since top-ups are not offered here.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Holafly eSIM cost?+
Plans start at €45.95 and the published rate per GB is €1.84. Reference prices are listed for USA, Europe and Japan unlimited plans, plus global monthly Unlimited and Light options, all under the same international Fair Usage Policy, so the full cost of a trip can be set before departure.
How many countries does Holafly cover?+
Coverage spans 200 countries on a global plan set, which suits both regional and worldwide trips. In the US the eSIM runs on AT&T and T Mobile, and 5G is available in Japan where the local network offers it.
Can I use the connection as a hotspot?+
Hotspot sharing is included, so a tablet or laptop can use the same plan while travelling. Instant activation also sits in the feature set (unlimited data, 5g and hotspot), which keeps setup short before departure.
Can I top up data while I am travelling?+
Top-ups are not offered, so a plan cannot be extended once the allowance runs out. A replacement plan starts at €45.95, and for longer stays the global monthly options may suit better than another short visit.
How do I get help from Holafly?+
Support runs on email, chat and help centre, which covers email, chat and a help centre but not phone lines. The provider is Holafly Limited, based in Ireland and trading since 2017, so activation and setup questions go to the same team.
Is Holafly useful for a long trip as well as a short break?+
Plans target short trip and long trip travellers, and reference prices run for USA, Europe and Japan options alongside global monthly Unlimited and Light plans, all under the same international Fair Usage Policy. Coverage of 200 countries lets a single plan follow a multi-stop itinerary.
How quickly can I start using the eSIM?+
Instant activation is listed in the feature set (unlimited data, 5g and hotspot), so a plan bought before departure is ready to install when the trip starts. Setup questions can be taken to the help centre within email, chat and help centre, and 5G is available where the local network offers it.
