Globie highlights
Affordable price positioning
Globie claims accessible rates across its whole catalogue, from the small country plan to the regional packs, to travel connected without blowing your data budget.
No roaming fees
You pay for the local plan upfront: no more overpriced roaming or nasty surprises on your carrier bill when you get back.
Wide regional packs
Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, the Middle East: Globie offers packs that bundle several countries of the same zone on a single eSIM.
Global packs
Multi-continent plans for round-the-world trips and itineraries that cross several regions, without changing eSIM.
Quick setup
A QR code sent by email after payment: the eSIM installs before departure and connects to the local network on arrival, with no physical SIM card.
iPhone and Android compatible
Globie works on recent iPhones and Android smartphones equipped with an eSIM: everything is managed from the phone settings.
Who is Globie? A look at the operator
Globie is a travel eSIM provider that sells data plans across a wide range of destinations. Like most players on the market, Globie is an MVNO: it owns no network of its own but resells access to the networks of local partner operators, with 4G/5G speeds that depend on the network in use in each country.
Globie's positioning rests on two simple promises: affordable prices and the absence of roaming fees. The catalogue covers single-country plans as well as many regional packs: Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America, the Middle East. This organisation by zone explains the depth of the Globie catalogue listed on Datadopt.
For the broadest itineraries, Globie offers global packs covering several continents on a single eSIM: a format designed for round-the-world trips and digital nomads who hop from country to country. The regional packs, meanwhile, suit travellers who cross several countries of the same zone without wanting to buy a new eSIM at each border.
On the practical side, delivery is immediate: a QR code sent by email after payment, installation in a few minutes on eSIM-compatible iPhone and Android. The eSIM is set up before departure and activates on arrival: the plan's validity usually starts at the first connection to the destination network.
Is Globie reliable? The service relies on established partner operators. As with any eSIM provider, a few points deserve attention: the plans are data only (no calls or standard texts), a fair use policy may apply to some offers, and the prices shown in dollars imply a conversion to euros at the time of payment. Check the Trustpilot reviews and the product page before choosing your plan.

4.6/5
31 reviews
Recurring strengths
- Affordable price positioning across the whole catalogue
- Wide regional packs: Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, the Middle East
- Global packs for multi-continent itineraries
- Simple and quick setup via QR code, with no physical SIM card
Points to watch
- Data-only plans: no calls or standard texts included
- A fair use policy may apply to some offers (reduced speed after heavy use)
- Prices shown in US dollars: the amount in euros depends on the exchange rate at payment
- China: a VPN installed before departure remains essential to reach Google, WhatsApp and Instagram (as with every provider)
Our analysis: Globie is a relevant choice for travellers looking for affordable plans and wide regional packs, especially on zones that are sometimes less well covered such as Africa. For a very mature app ecosystem, Airalo remains a safe bet; for long-term unlimited data with support in French, Holafly is the benchmark alternative; for built-in security, Saily (by NordVPN) is worth a look.
Globie coverage: where do the plans work?

Popular destinations covered
⚠️ A warning for China
China blocks Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and much of the Western web (the Great Firewall). The Globie eSIM for China relies on a local operator, so the blocking applies. To reach your usual services, install a VPN before you leave (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN, Mullvad): once you arrive in China, the VPN download sites are themselves blocked.
Globie plan types
Single-country plan
An eSIM dedicated to a single country (Japan, United States, Thailand, Turkey and more), often the most economical format for a stay in one destination.
Regional pack
A single eSIM for a whole zone (Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, the Middle East): ideal for itineraries that cross several neighbouring countries.
Global pack
A multi-continent plan covering a large number of destinations on a single eSIM: handy for round-the-world trips.
Fixed-volume plan
A global data allowance to use over the validity period, with affordable pricing suited to controlled usage.
Globie FAQ
How do I activate a Globie eSIM?▾
After payment, Globie sends a QR code by email. iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → scan the QR. Android: Settings → Network & internet → SIM → Download a SIM. Install the eSIM before departure and turn on data on arrival: validity usually starts at the first connection to the destination network.
What is the difference between a country plan, a regional pack and a global pack with Globie?▾
The country plan covers a single destination and is generally the most economical. The regional pack covers a whole zone (Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas) on a single eSIM, ideal for a multi-country neighbouring itinerary. The global pack covers several continents: pricier, but unbeatable for a round-the-world trip without changing eSIM.
Does Globie cover Africa?▾
Yes, Globie offers country plans on many African destinations as well as an Africa regional pack, a zone that is sometimes less well covered by other providers. The exact list of countries included is shown in the plan details on Datadopt.
Does Globie work in China?▾
Globie covers China, but Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube are blocked by the Great Firewall even via Globie. Install a VPN (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Mullvad) on your phone BEFORE you leave: once you are there, the VPN download sites are themselves blocked.
Can I use WhatsApp, TikTok and tethering with Globie?▾
WhatsApp and TikTok: yes, on every destination (except China without a VPN). Tethering (hotspot): allowed on most Globie plans; any limits are shown in the plan details on Datadopt.
Does Globie refund if there is a problem?▾
Like most providers, Globie handles requests case by case, generally for eSIMs that have not been activated or in the event of a proven malfunction. Contact support quickly with the details of the problem and always test the connection as soon as you arrive.
Are Globie plans really affordable?▾
Globie positions its catalogue on accessible prices, especially on country plans and regional packs. The final price depends on the data volume, the duration and the destination. Compare the exact prices in the plans table above, that is often what sets two similar providers apart.
Is my phone compatible with Globie?▾
iPhone XS and later (2018+), Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, Google Pixel 3+, Xiaomi 13+ and most recent eSIM-compatible models. Check for the "EID" field in Settings → General → About (iPhone) or in the SIM settings (Android). See our complete eSIM smartphone compatibility guide for the detailed list of models.
How fast is Globie data?▾
It depends on the local partner operator: 5G on compatible destinations and plans, 4G/4G+ in most cases. A fair use policy may temporarily reduce the speed after very heavy use on some offers. The network in use is shown on each plan's page on Datadopt.
