Mobile Plan in Europe: Roaming ? eSim ?

thesla on 07/07/2024 - 17:36

I am currently using Kogan 365 Large days plan. Need to go to Eu (Ireland, France, Belgium, Germany, … ) for couple weeks for work.

What should I do to just have data ? I don't think I would need calling/SMS for that short period. Any cheapies advice ?

I saw deals like https://www.cheapies.nz/node/47340 . I have an old phone that probably don't support eSIM. Do I need to invest into one that can support eSIM ?
Or should I buy a Eu SIM card that cover a bunch of country (if that even exists …) ?

Or this post: https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=40&topicid=311… but I think it's for going to Aussie

    When I was in Europe, I used Holafly esim for the duration. It's data only, but was super easy to set up. Can't remember how much I paid, but it was 2 months of unlimited data. I think hotspoting was included not that I used it.

    What model phone do you have? There are a few eSIM providers that will give you what you need and are super easy to setup but if you're stuck using a physical SIM it's a bit more of a hassle.

    Just get an Europe SIM with the amount of data you need from Simcorner if you do not have eSIM. Then you are good to go on arrival.
    That is what we did and we just spent 2 months in Europe.
    If flying into France then Free Mobile is awesome for 19.99 Euro for 250Gb data and calls, additional 10Euro for actual SIM card. My Free sim is even working in Dubai and provides 35Gb data when ouside of France.
