Buy the right travel eSIM, not the biggest one

Destination guides

• eSIM for a 7-day first trip to Japan: what to buy
  First-time visitor, one week, mostly maps, train apps, messaging and some social media.
• Japan for two weeks with heavy data use: unlimited vs big fixed plans
  Two weeks, lots of short video, video calls home, uploading photos and maybe sharing a hotspot.
• eSIM for a two-week USA road trip
  Driving between cities and national parks: many hours of navigation and music streaming, plus everyday social use.
• eSIM for a short UK city break (around 5 days)
  Long weekend or 5 days: maps, transport apps, messaging, some photos and social posts.
• Backpacking Thailand for 30 days: cheapest eSIM options
  A month on a budget: hostels with Wi-Fi, maps, ride-hailing apps, messaging and social media on mobile data.
• Remote work in Thailand for a month: is an unlimited eSIM worth it?
  Working remotely: daily video calls and hotspotting a laptop when café or coworking Wi-Fi fails.

What we do (and don't do)

• We copy prices and plan terms from each provider's own website and date-stamp them.
• We explain the trade-offs: fixed data vs "unlimited", daily speed caps, hotspot limits.
• We don't publish speed tests or "hands-on" reviews we haven't done, and we don't use fake ratings.
