Why get an eSIM for your 2023 Europe holiday?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a replacement for your traditional SIM card. It functions exactly the same as a normal SIM card but it is built into the phone unlike the former. You no longer need to swap out SIM cards using the tray ejection tool or store your SIM card somewhere safe.
This can help greatly by giving you one less thing to worry about during those frantic transits.
Other major reasons why eSIMs are indispensable for your Europe holiday are that they enable you to skip expensive roaming charges, manage multiple profiles, experience lag-free browsing and streaming, and many more advantages which effectively gives you more time to enjoy your holiday.
What do you need to look for when getting an eSIM for Europe?
Generally, what matters is the data limits on offer and the plan’s validity. With our new bundles offering flexible validity ranging from a weekend to a month, whatever plan you grab will safely last throughout your stay. If you ever run out of data, you can also top up effortlessly.
Other factors to look for include speed, coverage, and customer support.
Powered by Orange, the eSIM for Europe plans offer high-speed 4G Internet throughout Europe, making it a truly pan-European eSIM. Considering that you will not be locked into a country or region and there are disparities in mobile network infrastructure, it is essential for you to have a strong network signal wherever you are.
If you happen to experience a poor signal, it would mean slow Internet speeds with pages failing to load and downloads failing halfway through. This is in addition to the abysmal streaming experience you would potentially face.
Numerous variables, such as the network type, the number of cell towers, the number of structures, trees, and other variables, affect the coverage of mobile networks. Mobile network coverage may be impacted even by the climate.
Orange is often rated as the best mobile network in Europe, offering speeds of up to 150Mbps consistently throughout the continent. The company was voted the 8th best telecom brand globally in 2021. They made 42.5 billion euros in revenue and serve 282 million customers.
What’s wrong with using public Wi-Fi?
There are several drawbacks associated with connecting to free Wi-Fi which can be prevalent throughout Europe.
Security: Free Wi-Fi networks are often unsecured, which means that anyone on the same network can potentially see the data you are sending and receiving. This can include sensitive information such as login credentials, financial data, and personal information.
Malware: It is possible for hackers to set up fake Wi-Fi networks with names that are similar to legitimate ones. If you connect to one of these fake networks, the hacker can potentially install malware on your device.
Man-in-the-middle attacks: Hackers can also use free Wi-Fi networks to perform "man-in-the-middle" attacks, in which they intercept and alter the data being transmitted between your device and the internet. This can be used to steal sensitive information or spread malware.
Limited bandwidth: Free Wi-Fi networks often have limited bandwidth, which can make it difficult to use them for activities that require a lot of data, such as streaming video or downloading large files.
For these reasons, it is generally recommended to avoid connecting to free Wi-Fi networks whenever possible, especially if you need to transmit sensitive information. Instead, you should just stick to your mobile data. It also frees you up from having to ask around for Wi-Fi passwords!

Will my smartphone work with an eSIM for Europe?
eSIMs have made it easier to use mobile data when traveling abroad. Most newer smartphone models, like the iPhone 14, have eSIM support, so chances are good that your phone will work with an eSIM.
It's also worth noting that eSIMs are compatible with other devices, such as smartwatches and laptops. If you're not sure if your phone or device supports eSIM, you can see our guide for more information.
How to install and activate your eSIM for Europe?
It's a quick and easy process that only takes a few steps. First, visit our website at www.holidayesim.com and purchase the eSIM bundle that best meets your needs. Once you've made your purchase, check your email for a QR code. This code is what you'll use to set up your new connection.
To begin the installation process, follow these steps:
Open the Settings app on your phone.
Navigate to the "Use a different network" option.
When prompted, select "Scan QR code" and scan the code that you received in your email.
That's all there is to it! Just keep in mind that it's best to wait until you're physically present in Europe to scan your code.
Activating your eSIM before you arrive could cause your plan to start unnecessarily. We recommend purchasing your eSIM bundle in advance to take advantage of our offers and waiting until you're on the ground to complete the activation process.
