eSIM and internet for digital nomads: what to compare

An eSIM covers your first days; for a stay of months a local line is often better value. What matters is device compatibility and whether the plan lets you share data with your laptop.

What to compare before signing up

  1. 1

    Compatibility

    Unlocked, eSIM-compatible phone; check before buying.

  2. 2

    Hotspot and speed

    If you will work on mobile data, confirm the plan allows hotspot and whether it throttles after a usage cap.

  3. 3

    Validity and coverage

    Validity in days, countries included and the local network it uses at your destination.
