Our verdict on each
Magenta Telekom
Magenta Telekom sells travel data as a carrier plan rather than a standalone eSIM, covering 140 countries from its home network. It suits existing Magenta and T-Mobile Austria customers adding a short trip package, with carrier billing and email, phone and help centre help if a package runs out.
Orange Polska
Orange Polska is the travel eSIM pick for anyone leaving Poland who wants a carrier plan instead of a resale marketplace, covering from 100 countries on a global footprint. Hotspot sharing, top-ups and instant activation come as standard, and a used package simply stops rather than billing extra.

- Buy a top-up when the package allowance runs out, with no further charges
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre
Cons
- Unlimited data is not part of the offer

Orange Polska
Pros
- A carrier plan from Orange Polska S.A. with instant activation and hotspot sharing listed in hotspot, instant activation and carrier plan
- Hotspot sharing and top-ups are both available, so your phone can serve a laptop and another device
- Entry price of PLN 5 sits below the €5 median across listings
Cons
- The fair use policy blocks data once the purchased package is exhausted, with no overage billing as a fallback

Who each suits
Magenta Telekom
Who it suits
- Magenta or T-Mobile Austria customers who want travel data billed to their home line
- Travellers on short trips to Europe and beyond who need broad country coverage
- People already comfortable managing packages inside the carrier app and account
Who should look elsewhere
- Travellers who need unlimited data, which this offer does not include
- Anyone crossing at sea or in the air, since the fair use policy places ships, ferries, planes and satellite connections outside the package
- Travellers wanting a single market only, where SimToIsrael is a simpler fit
Orange Polska
Who it suits
- Travellers leaving Poland who want the network itself to run the eSIM rather than a reseller
- People on a long trip who will top up across several countries instead of locking in a single package (short trip and long trip)
- Hotspot users who need their phone to carry a laptop and another device while abroad
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone shopping purely on entry price, where esimgo-is starts at $0.99
- Travellers who want the longest country list, since Zwitchy covers 200 countries
- Buyers who prefer a single purchase to a carrier plan, such as simtoisrael at $25

Questions about each
Magenta Telekom
How many countries does the Magenta Telekom travel package cover?+
The travel package covers 140 countries, which puts it in the global range rather than a single market. You can buy it as a carrier plan added to an existing home line, so one package can cover several stops on a multi country trip.
Does Magenta Telekom offer unlimited data?+
Unlimited data is not part of this offer. The package runs on a fixed allowance, and data is stopped when that allowance is used up, with no further charges. If you need a heavier allowance, a top-up is available when the package runs out.
Orange Polska
How much does an Orange Polska travel eSIM cost?+
Packages start at PLN 5, which sits below the €5 median entry price across the comparison. That makes the carrier plan an accessible starting point for a single trip, and top-ups let you add data later if a journey runs longer than planned.
How much do packages cost in different destinations?+
A package in the EU is PLN 45, the USA is PLN 80 and Japan is PLN 79. Published per GB rates follow the same order, with the EU cheapest and Egypt, Thailand and the USA dearest, so the price per GB is worth checking before you pick a destination.
