Questions, answered

What is the best eSIM for Europe?

For most trips a 5GB to 10GB data eSIM valid for 30 days is the right size: Slashtel's 5GB plan for Europe is $6.59. Install it before you fly, keep your home SIM on for calls and bank texts, and top up the same eSIM if you run low.

Do I need a Europe SIM card or an eSIM?

If your phone supports eSIM, an eSIM is simpler than a local SIM card: nothing to collect at the airport, no passport registration, and your home SIM stays in the phone for calls and OTP texts. A physical SIM only makes sense for long stays where you need a local phone number.

How much does an eSIM for Europe cost for a week?

From $1.99 for 1GB valid 7 days, as of 9 October 2026. Longer trips: two weeks from $4.19 (3GB), one month from $4.49 (3GB).

What is the cheapest data per GB for Europe?

$1.23 per GB on the 20GB plan (30 days, $24.69). Bigger plans usually cost less per GB, so buy the size you expect to use.

Does the Europe eSIM include a phone number?

No. Slashtel eSIMs are data only, with no local number, calls or SMS. WhatsApp and other internet calls work, and your home SIM can stay on for calls and OTP texts.

When does the Europe eSIM start counting days?

Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Europe, not when you buy it, so you can buy and install it before you travel.

How do I install the Europe eSIM?

After payment Slashtel emails a QR code within a minute. Scan it in your phone settings while on Wi-Fi at home, then switch on data roaming for the eSIM when you land.

Will my phone work with a Europe eSIM?

Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06#: if an EID appears, the phone supports eSIM.

Can I use hotspot with the Europe eSIM?

Yes. Hotspot and tethering are allowed on Slashtel eSIMs.
