Questions about Ireland eSIMs
Will a plan hold up driving the west coast of Ireland?
Expect it to come and go.
The coverage list on this page names Ireland and nothing smaller, so a headland, a mountain road and a long empty stretch are not answered one by one.
Save the route before you set off.
Do I need data in a hire car in Ireland?
For the map, the parking app and the call to the hire desk, yes.
The car's own screen is only as useful as the phone feeding it, so plug in at the start of the drive rather than halfway down a lane.
What if the cottage has no internet at all?
Then your own plan is the internet.
Check the gate code, the directions and the heating instructions before you turn off the main road, because the last stretch is where a screen tends to give up.
Is there data on the boat out to the Irish islands?
Treat the crossing as offline.
Nothing on this page promises a bar out on the water, and the island at the other end is not answered on its own either, so pull down the timetable and the walk before you board.
How do I keep the phone alive on a long Irish driving day?
Carry a cable for the car and a pack for the walks.
A map left running all day with the screen on is what flattens a phone, and a dead handset is worse than a weak bar on a wet afternoon.
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
Pull the drive down before you leave the airport.
A rented car, a lane with grass up the middle and a turn you cannot see the end of is not the moment to find out the map wants to load.
Ireland and the network your plan uses are both on the coverage list on this page, and that list stops at the country.
A headland, a bog road and a long empty stretch are each their own gamble.
Guesthouse and cottage owners often answer a message quicker than a call, so keep the booking thread on the phone rather than printed in the bag.
Keep your usual SIM switched on for calls and texts, and choose the eSIM for mobile data.
