Our verdict on each
LMT
LMT eSIM works with compatible phones, smartwatches and tablets without a physical SIM. Customers can replace a SIM through My LMT or a customer centre, then download the eSIM by scanning a QR code.
Telia FI
Telia FI suits travellers who want a plan from the network operator itself rather than a travel eSIM marketplace, with 5G, instant activation and a carrier setup. Bundles start at €25.20, which sits above the site median €5, so it trades price for carrier service.

Questions about each
Telia FI
How much do Telia FI travel bundles cost?+
Travel bundles start at €25.20. In the reference prices, the US, Japan and Mexico packages share the same price with a smaller data allowance, while the Thailand and Turkey packages carry more data for the same money.
Is there an unlimited data option?+
Unlimited data is not offered. Bundles come with a set allowance, and Europe and the EEA roaming is either inside the monthly fee or sold as a day pass for a fixed amount of data, on a destination scope marked global.
What happens on a long trip across the EU?+
A fair use policy applies to EU roaming. Longer stays in other EU and EEA countries, with more of your traffic outside Finland, can count as unreasonable use, and a surcharge per traffic type can follow a warning. The destination scope is global, so trips often reach well past the EU.
Which network will my phone use abroad?+
Coverage runs on the operator's own network, listed as Telia, and 5G is available. The seller type is listed as carrier, so the home network handles the connection while you are away.
