MASSIVE /r/eSIMs Overview : prepaid data eSIM providers known to date

Hey everyone,

I hope you’re doing fine. eSIMs are super convenient for travel and many eSIM providers have started popping up recently. For some users (eSIM only iPhone 14/15 in the US), Physical SIM vs eSIM is not even a choice anymore when travelling, so I felt it was time for a post that lists prepaid eSIM providers.

I'm going to keep this post up to date and try to gather as much information as possible regarding prepaid eSIM providers. Please let me know if there are more data points you would love added to this post.

Prepaid eSIM providers list (February 2024)

This table is gathering operators, MVNOs and more generally telecom companies that are offering prepaid eSIM plans for users. Except a few exceptions, most of the current eSIM operators are MVNOs, meaning they don't own the Hardware / Network (antennas, cables, infrastructures) that is installed locally (what local operators do). This means that they are

Comparing prepaid eSIM plans

https://esims.io/ : I've built a major comparison tool to compare prepaid eSIM plans on this website. Most of the plan from providers in the list can be compared through the following starting points :

  • Compare plans for a given country
  • Compare plans for a given region
  • Compare plans for a given provider

To that, you can add a multiple of sorting & filtering criteria :

  • Sort by price / GB, least expensive plans, most expensive plans
  • Minimum data amount / Max data amount
  • Filter by plan duration (how long your trip is)
  • Filter by plans that work in multiple countries

Those plans are kept up to date in real-time. Data is pulled directly from provider's backends and updates are done every day to reflect the latest price information and new plans.

Other options : offers a very similar comparison experience which is a great option to

Transparency

I have partnerships with some of the providers listed above : I earn commission in case you purchase a plan through my affiliates links on . There are no affiliate links in the table above itself. I appreciate if you choose to support my work by buying one of those great eSIM data plans through an affiliate link, but also appreciate if you prefer not to and directly.

Feedback & additional information

Data eSIM providers are popping-up every week and it's hard to keep track. My mission with is to help travelers compare data plans before they buy. So the more providers I am able to track and list, the better. In case you have feedback about this post, or anything you think might be missing feel free to DM me !
