Our verdict
Simify is a marketplace eSIM aimed at budget travellers heading to Europe, Japan, Thailand, the USA, Canada, Mexico, South East Asia or the Middle East. Entry prices start at €1.04 and plans carry unlimited data with a fair use limit, which suits short trips rather than heavy long-haul streaming.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Plans start at €1.04, well under the site median of €5
- Unlimited data with 5G, hotspot sharing and instant activation on regional and global plans (regional and global)
- Covers 128 countries, so one plan can cover several stops
- Top-ups available, so a plan can run out and be topped up while travelling
Cons
- Unlimited plans sit under a fair use policy, and a burst of heavy use can bring a temporary speed reduction that clears on its own
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with no live chat or phone listed
- Prices climb by region, and Middle East unlimited plans sit well above the entry rate of €1.04
Who it suits
- Travellers on a short trip who want unlimited data in one region without counting gigabytes
- Backpackers and budget travellers comparing eSIMs on entry price rather than brand name
- People heading to Europe, Japan or Thailand who want a plan set up before landing
Who should look elsewhere
- Travellers who stream or tether heavily for days at a time, since the fair use policy caps sustained speed
- Anyone who wants phone or live chat support, because help runs through email and help centre
- Travellers buying a single-market plan, since Simify sells regional and global plans

Frequently asked questions
How much do Simify eSIMs cost?+
Plans start at €1.04. Regional and global unlimited plans are listed by area, with Europe and the UK, Japan and Thailand at the entry rate, South East Asia and USA Canada and Mexico a little above it, and the Middle East higher again. The site's median starting price across brands is €5.
Does Simify sell unlimited data plans?+
Yes, unlimited data is one of the listed plan features, alongside 5G, hotspot sharing and instant activation, on regional and global plans. A fair use policy applies to unlimited plans, so a burst of very heavy use can bring a temporary speed reduction, and the limit clears on its own, usually the following day.
How many countries does Simify cover?+
Simify covers 128 countries, above the site median of 74. That makes it a reasonable pick for a trip through several countries in one region, rather than for a route that spans every continent.
Can I use my Simify eSIM as a hotspot?+
Hotspot sharing is listed as available, and 5G is supported too. The plans are sold as regional and global plans, so you pick the area your trip covers rather than a single country. Share a connection from a phone that already has its own data plan if you need to keep working online.
What happens if I run out of data on a Simify plan?+
Top-ups are available, so an exhausted plan can be topped up rather than replaced. Plans also activate instantly once bought, which suits a trip where you are already in the country. Pick the plan that matches the length of your stay before you land.
Who is Simify aimed at?+
The plans are aimed at short trips and long trips, and priced as budget and marketplace, so the audience is travellers watching cost on a single journey. Europe and the UK, Japan, Thailand, South East Asia, USA Canada and Mexico, and the Middle East are all covered.
How do I get help from Simify?+
Support runs on email and help centre. There is a help centre for setup and plan questions, plus email for anything it does not cover. If you need a live chat or a phone call, a carrier-run eSIM may suit you better.
Is Simify a carrier or a marketplace?+
Simify is a marketplace, meaning it lists plans from other providers and sells them in one place. The company behind it is SimsDirect Pty Ltd, based in Australia, and it has been trading since 2018. Plan quality therefore varies by which local network a given plan uses.
