FairSIM eSIM for Europe
A Europe trip rarely stays in one country. The Eurostar lands you in Paris, the TGV carries you to Milan, and a budget flight drops you in Barcelona three days later. A single-country plan stops working at the first border. A Europe plan does not.
The FairSIM Europe eSIM covers 36 countries at one wholesale rate: the whole EU, plus the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Serbia, Moldova and Turkey, which most Europe plans leave out. Your phone picks the strongest partner network in each country automatically.

Coverage matches the single-country plans on each page. Long tunnels, alpine valleys and ferries between countries are the usual gaps. Ukraine, Albania, Bosnia, Montenegro and North Macedonia are not on this plan; the Balkans plan in the app covers them.

How FairSIM works
Three steps between you and the internet abroad. Nothing to pick up at the airport.
Pick a destination and a plan
Choose the country or region and the data you need. The price you see is the price you pay.
Tap install
On iPhone (iOS 17.4+) the eSIM installs in one tap, no QR code. Do it at home while you still have Wi-Fi.
Land and connect
Turn on data roaming for the FairSIM line when you arrive. Your plan starts when it first connects.
Europe eSIM questions
Which countries does the Europe eSIM cover?
All 27 EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Serbia, Moldova, Turkey and Vatican City. The full list is on this page and in the app before you buy.
Do I need to do anything at the border?
No. Keep data roaming on for the FairSIM line and your phone joins the partner network in the next country within a minute or two.
Is a Europe plan more expensive than a single-country plan?
Per gigabyte, slightly. For a trip through two or more countries it is cheaper and far simpler than buying and installing a plan for each one.
Does it work on trains and ferries?
On trains, yes, apart from tunnels. At sea between countries, ships use satellite networks that no eSIM covers, so expect a gap until you dock.
Can I use it in Switzerland, the UK and Turkey?
Yes. All three are included, which is not the case for most Europe plans that stop at EU roaming rules.
How much data do I need for a two-week Europe trip?
About 10 GB for maps, trains, messaging and photos across several cities; 20 GB if you stream or work along the way.
What is an eSIM?
A SIM card built into your phone. Instead of a plastic chip, you download a profile. Every iPhone since the XS has one next to the physical SIM slot, so your home number stays put while FairSIM supplies the data.
Is my phone compatible?
FairSIM works with eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked iPhones: the XS, XR and everything newer, on iOS 17.4 or later for the one-tap install with no QR code. iPhones bought in mainland China do not support eSIM at all, even when unlocked. Not sure yours is unlocked? Check Settings, General, About, Carrier Lock, or ask your carrier. The full list is on the How it works page.
When should I install my eSIM?
Before you travel, while you still have Wi-Fi. Installing does not start your plan; the validity typically starts when the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination.
Do FairSIM eSIMs come with a phone number?
No. FairSIM eSIMs are data-only by design, which keeps costs low. For calls and texts, your physical SIM stays active so you keep your existing number, and WhatsApp, FaceTime and iMessage work over data.
