The challenge of connecting in Europe
Europe is a paradise for travelers. With the Schengen area and open borders, it is common to cross from France to Germany and then to Switzerland in a few days. But this mobility presents a connectivity challenge: do you buy a SIM in each country?
The advantage of the European Regional eSIM
Unlike local SIMs, a regional eSIM for Europe covers multiple countries under a single data plan. You can jump from Spain to Italy without losing connection or making additional configurations; The phone automatically connects to the strongest network in each new territory.
What should a good European plan include?
- Multi-country Coverage: At least 30 European countries, ensuring that no matter where the train takes you, you will be connected.
- Unlimited Data: Ideally, you want to not have to worry about consuming megabytes when using Google Maps, Spotify, or sharing photos of the Eiffel Tower.
- 4G/5G networks: Make sure the provider has roaming agreements with major operators (such as Orange, Vodafone or O2) to ensure fast speeds.
Countries that you should not forget
Make sure the eSIM includes countries like Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Although they are geographically in Europe, the United Kingdom (post-Brexit) and Switzerland are sometimes excluded from some local economic plans, which would force you to pay extra if you visit them. Good regional eSIMs from WanaSim cover both at no additional cost.
