What to do in Europe, and what your phone needs for it
Eight places most first trips to Europe include, from Paris to Santorini, with the one thing your data does for you at each. All eight are in countries Ringo Light covers, and one eSIM follows you across every border between them.
If you want unlimited for two weeks or a month: Ringo Light
For two weeks or a month of unlimited data in Europe, Ringo Light is the cheapest of the six: $22.99 for 2 weeks and $35.99 for 30 days. Most Europe trips are two weeks and three or four countries: Paris, then Amsterdam, then down to Rome or Barcelona. For about two weeks of unlimited on a regional plan, Airalo Eurolink asks $49, Saily $49.99 and Holafly $51.50. Ubigi asks $35 for 30 GB at full speed. Nomad sells no Europe unlimited past 10 days. For a month, $62 to $76.50. Nothing renews on Ringo Light.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo and Saily give 5 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Nomad gives 2 GB a day, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi gives 25 GB for 7 days, 30 GB for 15 days or 60 GB for the month, then 2 Mbps. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed for the whole 2 weeks or 30 days.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Airalo sells 3 days of unlimited at $11.50 and Holafly at $11.90. For a week, though, our 2 weeks at $22.99 already costs less than any rival's 7 days: Ubigi $23, Airalo $27, Holafly $27.50.
Which countries each Europe plan covers
A Europe plan is only as good as its country list, and the lists differ. Ringo Light covers 33 countries: the EU countries plus the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Gibraltar. Airalo's Eurolink covers 41, and it is the one to buy if your route runs through Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia or Ukraine, which Ringo Light does not cover. Holafly lists 33 countries including the UK and Ireland, Saily 35, Nomad 35 on its unlimited plans and Ubigi 38.
Check the list for every country on your route before you buy, whichever brand you pick. The UK and Switzerland are the two that catch people out: neither is in the EU, and a plan sold as EU only can skip them. Ringo Light, Airalo Eurolink and Nomad include both; for the others, read the country list at checkout.

If you want a data bucket: Ubigi or Nomad
- Ubigi, $15 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB for 30 days across 38 countries. 25 GB is $29, and a 20 GB monthly plan at $19 that renews until you cancel it.
- Nomad, $23 for 10 GB. And 20 GB for 30 days at $27, the cheapest one-off 20 GB here.
- Airalo, $31 for 10 GB. Eurolink 20 GB for 30 days is $48, and Eurolink covers the most countries.
- Saily, $35.99 for 10 GB. From saily.com, 25 October 2026.
- ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks is unlimited for $22.99 and our 30 days unlimited for $35.99. For a fixed amount of data over a month, Ubigi's 10 GB at $15 is $7.99 under our 2 weeks, and Nomad's 20 GB at $27 is $8.99 under our 30 days. Buy Ringo Light for unlimited, not for a bucket. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.
