Cheapest unlimited data plans
Unlimited suits heavy use, like daily video calls or hotspotting a laptop. eSIM4 sells unlimited plans in 141 destinations.
Every unlimited plan gives you 3GB of full-speed data a day. After that, speed drops to about 1 Mbps until midnight local time, which still handles messages and maps.
These ten have the lowest price for a 3-day plan. For a full month, Thailand has the lowest daily rate: $47.98 for 30 days, or $1.60 a day.

Most data for your money
Bigger plans cost less per GB. Turkey’s 50GB for $32.98 works out at $0.66 per GB, the lowest rate in the shop.
Size up only if you’ll use the data. A 20GB plan you half use still costs more than a 5GB plan that fits.

How to keep your eSIM cheap
- Size the plan to your trip.A short break needs 1GB to 3GB, and a typical week runs 5GB to 10GB. The plan finder above, or the travel data calculator, helps you estimate it.
- Check the days as well as the data.In almost every destination, the 1GB plan lasts 7 days and the 2GB plan lasts 15. So a two-week trip needs at least 2GB, even if you barely use data.
- Use one regional plan for a multi-country trip.It saves buying and installing a new eSIM at every border. For Europe, the EU + UK plan starts at $2.98 for 1GB.
- Save unlimited for heavy use.In most destinations, a 5GB plan costs less than half the price of a week of unlimited.
- Switch off data roaming on your home SIM.That stops your home carrier charging you for data while the eSIM handles it.
Cheap eSIM vs roaming, airport SIMs and pocket wifi
There are four common ways to get data abroad, and each one costs you something different.
| Option | How you pay | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Travel eSIM | A fixed price for set data and days, paid online before you fly | Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked |
| Home plan roaming | A daily or monthly pass, or pay-as-you-go charges on your usual bill | Daily passes add up on a long trip, so check your carrier’s rate first |
| Airport or local SIM | A local plan, bought at a counter after you land | Queues and ID checks, and on a single-SIM phone your home SIM has to come out |
| Pocket wifi | A rental fee for a small hotspot you carry | One more device to charge, carry and return |
