Questions about Europe eSIMs
Which countries does the Europe eSIM cover?
Every country in the list on this page.
If a country you are visiting is not there, the World eSIM might cover it.
Will my eSIM work on the Eurostar?
The tunnel itself carries no mobile network, so expect nothing at all for the crossing, and the countries at each end are the ones the coverage list answers for.
Download your onward tickets before you board at St Pancras or Gare du Nord.
Does a Europe plan include the United Kingdom?
Sometimes it does and sometimes it does not, because operators treat it on its own now.
The coverage list on this page answers it for the plan in front of you, and there is a United Kingdom plan as well.
Do I need to do anything when I cross a border?
No.
Your phone looks for a local network on the other side by itself, which can take a minute or two.
Leave data roaming switched on for the travel eSIM so it can.
Is mobile data worth having on European trains?
More than you would think.
Platform changes, delays and replacement buses show up in the rail apps well before anyone announces them on board, and seat reservations often live in an app rather than on paper.
Questions about every Ryvo plan
Will it work on my phone?
Does it come with a phone number?
No.
Ryvo eSIMs are data only.
There's no phone number, and you can't make calls or send texts on the eSIM itself.
Can I keep my usual number?
Yes.
Keep your main SIM on for calls and texts, and set the eSIM as your mobile data line.
Your carrier's roaming rates still apply to calls and texts, so check them before you go.
Can I share my data as a hotspot?
It depends on the plan.
Each plan says whether hotspot is allowed before you pay.
What if I run out of data?
Add data from your order page if your plan can be topped up.
If it can't, buy another plan for the same destination.
What if my eSIM won't connect?
Email us and we'll work through it with you, starting with your phone's mobile data settings.
If we can't get it working, our refund policy explains what happens next.
Before you go
One plan covers every country on the list below, so you don't need a new eSIM at each border.
Each country runs its own networks, so what your phone connects to changes when you cross a border.
A minute of nothing while it finds the next one is normal.
Alpine valleys, long rail tunnels and some older metro systems lose signal.
Pull up your tickets before you go underground.
Switzerland and parts of the Balkans are not always inside a Europe plan, even when they are on the same train line.
The list on this page is the one to go by.
Keep your usual SIM switched on for calls and texts, and choose the eSIM for mobile data.
