eSIM with data and calls in Europe for two weeks

[egal]

What did you use?

 

I am thinking an eSIM with calls might be useful, in case I need to conatct an uber driver etc, so noy just with data?

 

What would you recommend?  Cheers!

During my last trip to Eastern Europe, I bought an Local eSIM from LeleTravel. It came with a local number (French, if I'm not mistaken), 15 days of validity, 12GB of data, and 30 mins of international calling. The price was around 25 SGD / RM75+ 

In my experience, it's always a good idea to get at least a data plan, just in case you need internet access for Google or navigation. Having a local number is a bonus, as you never know when you might need to contact a local restaurant for a reservation or something similar.

Hope this helps✌️

I usually travel with Klook eSIM.

Although there are no local call allowance, I have never encounter the need for it.

thank you, Alex.  just wondering, the french number, when you call in another country outside france, as you were in eastern europe, would that have cost a lot?  or was it like just calling a local number?

thank you, JK.

 

maybe just data alone is enough...hmm...

There’s no additional cost as it’s included in the package. And yes, it’s just like calling a local number, the same as you did in Sg no difference. The package I chose includes 30 minutes, but they also offer one with 120 minutes. However, I feel that 30 minutes is enough for my usage.

I purchase an esim data plan from Shopee last december for my trip to Poland. Setup the esim settings before my departure, and turn on the data roam once landed. It was a pleasant experience and highly recommended. And it's affordable for unlimited data throughout the whole trip, but, outgoing calls are not available. You might consider this seller Szoove. I also used their service for my trip to Taiwan 2 months ago, which I only need to topup the esim instead of new esim purchase.

sounds good.

I’ve mostly used Airalo. They’re pretty hassle-free. 

If you’re with giga, you get 6gb international roaming included in your package, which covers most EU countries.

BNE has several options to offer via their esim.

 

- One-time vs Lifetime

- Local (one country) vs Region

- etc

 

Their lifetime esims are quite useful. I have it on my phone as a backup in the event my roaming data from my SG plan got issues when going overseas.
