Easiest to set up of the few similar apps I've used, online straight away and no need to think of it again.

John (Google Play Store)

The signal was great in all countries and the 10GB was enough for those 14 days. It was totally worth it. Highly recommend the global option!

Tereza (Tripadvisor)

Easy to install, great connection, and affordable plans. You also get a free trial for 1 day when you sign up on the app, so even better!

Very user friendly and has made travelling much easier by taking the roaming stress away.

With Sim Local, I can now choose from a wider variety of data plans, which are cheaper and cover more countries, while also being able to call my family during my travels or even send an SMS.

FAQs - Questions & Answers

What's the best eSIM for students studying abroad?: It depends on where you're studying and how long you'll be there. Sim Local's student eSIM plans include fast 4G/5G data, calls, texts, and a local number for 5 destinations, the UK, Europe, USA, Australia, and Canada; so you can pick the plan that matches your semester or program length.

Do student eSIM plans work across multiple countries?: Yes. Sim Local's Europe student plans cover 44-45 countries on one eSIM, so you can interrail or travel between semesters without swapping SIMs or paying roaming fees; something most single-country student eSIM providers don't offer.

Will I keep my home number with a student eSIM abroad?: Yes. Your Sim Local eSIM runs alongside your existing SIM, so you keep your home number for calls and messages while using your new local number and data plan for everyday use, OTPs, and local sign-ups.
