What stands out about esim0
203 countries covered
One of the widest footprints in this comparison : Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Oceania and a long tail of small markets.
2,217 plans declare 5G
Roughly two thirds of the catalogue announces 5G where the partner network supports it, the rest runs on 4G/LTE depending on the destination.
2,130 unlimited plans, all capped daily
Every unlimited plan in this catalogue carries a fair-use allowance renewed each day, stated in the plan detail : no ambiguity about what "unlimited" means here.
From 1 day to 365 days
Eleven duration steps, up to a full year, which makes esim0 usable for a layover as well as a long posting abroad.
Volumes from 1 to 100 GB
1,333 fixed-volume plans sit alongside the unlimited half, from a small plan for a weekend to 100 GB for a long remote-work stay.
From 1.76 EUR per plan
Entry prices start at 1.76 EUR, with a median plan price of 26.57 EUR and a cheapest ratio of 0.32 EUR per GB.
Who is esim0 ? A look at the provider
esim0 sells travel eSIM plans : a digital SIM profile downloaded by QR code that sits next to your usual line, so you land connected without roaming charges and without buying a local SIM card.
Like most eSIM brands, esim0 runs on partner operators in each country, in the MVNO model. That is why 4G/5G speeds differ from one destination to another : the plan uses whichever host network is contracted locally. Two thirds of the catalogue declares 5G, which puts esim0 above the wave average on announced throughput.
The offer is split between fixed-volume plans (1,333) for controlled usage and unlimited plans (2,130) for travellers who would rather not count GB. Every unlimited plan states a fair use allowance renewed each day : past that daily cap, speed is reduced until the next day. There is no top-up in this catalogue, so size the plan correctly at purchase or install a second profile.
Coverage spans Europe, the United States, Japan, Thailand, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia and Brazil, plus many smaller markets where a travel eSIM is often the only practical alternative to carrier roaming.
Is esim0 reliable ? No public rating is published for this provider on Trustpilot, the App Store or Google Play at the time of writing, so there is no reputation signal to lean on : judge the offer on the catalogue itself. Note that prices vary widely across destinations, that plans are data only, with no classic calls or SMS, and that you should check your iPhone or Android compatibility before buying.
esim0 reviews : what does the public evidence say ?
Datadopt aggregates ratings from public review platforms. No esim0 rating is published on Trustpilot, the App Store or Google Play yet, so the reading below comes from the catalogue rather than from user reviews.
Recurring strengths
- 203 countries covered, one of the widest footprints we list
- 5G declared on 2,217 plans, above the average of comparable catalogues
- Every unlimited plan states its daily allowance, with no ambiguity
- Durations up to a full year, useful for a long stay
Points to watch
- No public rating published, so no reputation signal to rely on
- No top-up : the plan has to be sized correctly at purchase
- Median price higher than several alternatives in this comparison
- Data-only plans : no classic calls or SMS
Our take : esim0 is a relevant choice when your destination is off the beaten track and declared 5G matters, since the footprint and the throughput are its two strong points. If you would rather lean on an established reputation or need a top-up, the alternatives Airalo, Holafly, Nomad and Saily are worth comparing.

Popular covered destinations
⚠️ Countries with restrictions (China, etc.)
In countries that filter the web (China and its Great Firewall in particular), Google, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook may stay blocked even with an eSIM, because access goes through a local operator. To keep your usual services, install a VPN (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Proton VPN) before departure. Always check your destination in the plan list above.
