How to set up a Travel eSIM before your international vacation.
Stay connected across Europe
You can rely on Vodafone’s Travel eSIM to connect throughout Europe as well as in Turkey. Through one eSIM, you can enjoy seamless connectivity thanks to Vodafone’s 5G network – our own 5G which is Europe’s largest and includes 332 cities, as well as the 5G networks of our roaming partners that expand this list.
You can have peace of mind when you are traveling to Europe that you will be connected when you land without the hassle of changing SIM cards. With one simple click, you can purchase your eSIM and data plan online, then install and activate it using a QR code.
Unlike using local SIM cards, you can retain your number. You can select a data plan to suit your needs, and purchase additional data top-ups if you require -you can even share your data with friends and family without worrying about extra roaming charges. If you prefer, you can use this eSIM as an additional plan to complement your own existing plan, allowing you to switch between two plans seamlessly as you wish.
