What is a global eSIM?

Quick answer

A global eSIM is a single package that works across a wide list of countries, rather than just one. It suits trips crossing several countries, because you install one profile and keep using it as you move.

How it compares

• Local covers one country and is usually the best value if you are staying put.
• Regional covers a group of neighbouring countries, which often suits a single continent.
• Global covers the widest country list, at a higher price per gigabyte.

Before you buy one

• Read the covered country list carefully. "Global" does not mean every country in the world.
• Check the data allowance and validity period, which apply across the whole trip rather than per country.
• Check the supported networks and any roaming or APN requirements listed with the package.

Where to find them

Browse the global view of the store at /esim-store/global, or compare against local and regional options at /esim-store.

Important

If your itinerary is really one main country plus a short stop, a local package for the main destination is often cheaper than a global one. Compare both before deciding.
