eSIM vs home carrier roaming

Home roaming is convenient if your plan includes a bundle. For holidays, a dedicated eSIM usually offers a fixed cost without bill shock.

Inside the European Union

Many plans include EU data with limits or reduced speed after a threshold. A travel eSIM gives you a separate data budget — useful if you do not want to eat your home bundle.

Outside the EU (Turkey, USA, Thailand…)

Roaming often costs €8–15/GB or more. A destination eSIM costs a fraction of that, with clear volume (e.g. 5 GB / 15 days) paid once.

Control and transparency

With eSIM you know upfront how many GB and days you have. No hidden rates or bundle overages. Data stops when used up on fixed-volume plans — no extra charges.

FAQ

Yes, but for holiday internet we recommend using only the eSIM for data and turning off data on your home SIM.

No. Travel eSIM is for trips, not daily use at home. Keep your home plan for your number and calls.
