Best eSIM for Europe: Which Plans Resellers Should Sell
For Europe, resellers should offer a core Europe regional plan covering the most visited countries, a wider Europe plan that reaches the Balkans, the Caucasus and other non-EU countries, and country plans for the top single destinations such as Italy, France, Spain, the UK and Turkey. Always check that the plan covers the UK, Switzerland and Turkey when travellers need them.

Europe is the world's most visited region — and the perfect place for regional eSIM plans, because so many trips cross borders. Here's how to build a Europe offer that sells.
Three products every Europe catalogue needs
| Product | Covers | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Core Europe plan | The most visited European countries | Classic multi-country holidays |
| Wide Europe plan | Adds the Balkans, the Caucasus, Ukraine, microstates and more | Road trips, Balkans tours, long itineraries |
| Country plans | One destination | City breaks, single-country holidays |
In the Fully Signal catalogue, for example, partners can choose a low-cost Europe 33 plan covering the big destinations — including France, the UK, Switzerland and Turkey — and a wider Europe 50 plan that reaches the Balkans and the Caucasus. Product names and coverage can change, so always check the country list of each package.
Watch the "non-EU" countries
Travellers often assume a "Europe" plan covers everything. The countries that most often differ between plans are:
- United Kingdom
- Switzerland
- Turkey
- Balkan countries outside the EU (Albania, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Kosovo)
- Ukraine, Moldova, the Caucasus
- Microstates and territories (Andorra, Gibraltar, Monaco…)
Show the country list on every Europe product page.
Suggested ladder
| Trip | Plan |
|---|---|
| Weekend in one city | Country plan, 3–5 GB, 7 days |
| Two-week multi-country holiday | Core Europe, 10–20 GB, 30 days |
| Balkans road trip | Wide Europe, 10–20 GB, 30 days |
| Month-long Interrail | Core or wide Europe, 20 GB+, 30 days, with top-up option |
Note that some low-cost regional promotions are sold as fixed 30-day plans without top-ups — for long trips, prefer a plan that can be topped up. Top-ups explained.

- Europeans travelling to non-EU countries such as the UK, Switzerland, Turkey or the Balkans, where EU roaming rules don't apply
- Tour groups and cruises (tour operators)
