Plans and plan details

Search, filter and compare eSIM data plans, and read what each plan includes.

What this page is for

The plans page lists every eSIM data plan Trippa eSIM sells. You can filter by destination, validity, data and price, and open any plan to see exactly where it works and what happens when the data runs out.

How to find the right plan

Use the filters on the left (on a phone they are above the list):
- Search: type a country, a region such as "Europe", or a word such as "unlimited".
- Destination: choose the country you are visiting. Only plans that work there are shown, including regional and global plans that cover it.
- Validity: slide to the shortest time you need, for example "7+ days". Plans that last less are hidden, so a 1-day plan never shows when you ask for a week.
- Data: slide to the least data you want over the whole trip, for example "5 GB+". Unlimited plans always match, and a plan with a daily allowance counts it for every day it lasts (1 GB a day for 7 days counts as 7 GB). The last stop shows unlimited plans only.
- Price: slide to the most you want to pay, for example "Up to $20" (a plan at exactly $20 is included), in the store's currency.
- The sliders stop on round values that make a difference to the plans on the page, and show the value you picked. They work with a mouse, a finger or the arrow keys.
- Regional and global plans only: tick this to see plans that cover several countries, handy for a trip through many places.
- Can be topped up: tick this to see only plans whose eSIM can take more data (or more days, on a daily plan) later, without a new eSIM. The address then has topup=1.
- Sort by: Cheapest first (the usual order), Price high to low or Most data. Plans at the same price show the one with more data first, then the one that lasts longer.
The list updates when you change a filter. Press Show plans if it does not.
To start again, press the cross next to Show plans to clear every filter.

The address of the page keeps your filters (for example /plans?days=7&gb=5&price=20), so you can bookmark it or send it to someone.

How a link to one plan works

A link such as /plans?plan=PLAN-ID (for example from a price comparison site) opens the list with that exact plan shown first as Your selected plan. It stays there even when your filters would hide it or cheaper plans are listed below it. If the plan is no longer on sale, the page says so and shows the plans on sale now. Every plan also has its own page at /plans/PLAN-ID.

A Best value badge marks the plans with the lowest price per GB in your results.

If nothing matches all your filters, the page shows the best deals it has instead, so you are never left with an empty page.

What a destination page shows

Choose a destination (or open a link such as /plans?country=JP) and, before any filter, the page also shows:

A short summary under the heading: the cheapest plan, the cheapest day pass, the best value per GB, how many plans there are and when they start.
Which plan for your trip?: the cheapest plan for three common trips (about 3 GB for a week or more, 5 to 10 GB for a month, 20 GB or more), from today's prices.
Going on to other countries?: links to the regional plans that cover the destination.
Questions and answers about unlimited data, a local phone number, hotspot, roaming charges and choosing a plan.

What a region page shows

Region pages (/regions/europe, /regions/north-america, /regions/asia, /regions/global) list the plans that cover several countries in that region, cheapest first, every country on at least one of them (each links to its destination page) and questions about crossing borders. A region with no plans on sale has no page.

How to read a plan's details

Click a plan name to open its page. You see:

Data: how much data you get. "per day" means the allowance renews every day.
Valid for: how many days the plan lasts once it starts (see Validity starts where the plan says when that is).
After the allowance: what happens when the data is used up. Either the data stops, or the speed drops to the number shown (for example 1000 kbps).
Works in: every country the plan covers.
Top-up: shown only when the eSIM can take more later: "Yes, add more data to the same eSIM", or more days on a daily plan.
Price: one payment, no subscription.

Press Add to basket to buy it. You can put several plans in one basket, for example one for each person travelling.

How to plan a trip to several countries

Open Travelling to several countries? above the plans, pick up to four countries and press Plan my trip.

When some plans cover all of them, you see One eSIM for the whole trip: the plans with the fewest extra countries first (usually the best price), and the list below shows every plan that covers them all.
When no plan covers them all, you see one eSIM per country: a good-value plan for each (at least 1 GB for at least 7 days where there is one) and Add all to basket. Each eSIM goes on the same phone and you switch between them in its settings. All ... plans opens a country to choose another.

What "Bigger plans for longer trips" means

Above the full list, a row shows plans with 10 GB or more for two weeks or longer, the best value per GB first, one of each size. It is only a shortcut: every plan is still in the list below.

How to carry on on your phone

On a computer, press Send to my phone next to the heading (or on a plan page, under the price). Scan the QR code with your phone camera, or email the link to yourself, and the same page opens on the phone. Buying on the phone you will travel with lets you install the eSIM with one tap. The link works for 7 days and holds nothing about you.

How to buy a daily plan for several days

Some plans are sold per day: they show a price per day and a How many days? list. Choose the days you need (from 1 day up to 30 on most stores); each choice shows the total. You get one eSIM that runs that many days, with the daily allowance every day, for one payment. A link can choose the days for you: /plans?plan=PLAN-ID&days=7.

How to see prices in another currency

Some stores let you see approximate prices in other currencies. If you see Also show prices in under the filters, pick a currency. You are still charged in the store's own currency; the second figure is only a guide.

FAQs

What does "Temporarily unavailable" mean? That plan cannot be sold right now. Please try again later or choose another plan.

Will the plan start the moment I buy it? No. Most plans start when the eSIM first connects to a network in a country the plan covers. A few start when you install the eSIM; the plan's page says so ("Validity starts") where the supplier tells the store.

Can I make calls with the eSIM? These are data plans. Calls and texts stay on your normal SIM, and apps like WhatsApp keep working with your usual number.

Why do I only see the first 120 plans? Very broad searches show the first 120 results. Narrow the search, for example by choosing a destination, to see the rest.
