UPeSIM 2026: Travel Plans, Prices & Data By Country

Yes, UPeSIM offers 13 regional plans and 3 global plans, as well as single-country plans. Regional plans cover Asia, Europe, South America, and Africa.

Global plans work in up to 156 countries and start at $9.29. If you're visiting several countries, one regional or global eSIM is simpler than buying a plan for each.

UPeSIM plans start at $1.85 for 1 GB valid for 7 days. Right now, the best price per GB is $1.11, on the 10 GB plan for 30 days ($11.14).

Prices depend on the country, the amount of data and the number of days. We check prices daily, so these figures are up to date. Sort the table above by price or by price per GB to compare.

Most recent phones work with UPeSIM, including iPhone XR, XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and Google Pixel 3 and newer. iPhones sold in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao don't support eSIM, and neither do Samsung FE models.

Your phone must be carrier-unlocked. To check your exact model, see UPeSIM's list of compatible devices.

The UPeSIM app for iPhone and Android tests whether your phone is compatible as soon as you open it.

No, UPeSIM eSIMs are data only, with no phone number, calls or SMS.

For calls and messages, use WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Your own SIM stays in your phone, so texts such as login codes still reach you, though your carrier treats calls to your usual number as roaming.

UPeSIM has plans for 161 countries and territories. To see the plans for your destination, choose it under Filters next to the plans.

Yes, you can add data to the same UPeSIM eSIM in the app (eSIMs → Current → Top Up - Recharge eSIM) or on the website. You don't need a new QR code, and you can top up abroad over Wi-Fi.

UPeSIM's pages differ on validity: its blog says a top-up extends the eSIM's days, while its terms give each top-up its own validity. The app shows the exact period before you pay.

Yes, UPeSIM lets you share data by Wi-Fi hotspot, USB or Bluetooth at no extra cost. Its blog says sharing doesn't slow your speed and that the number of devices depends on your phone.

Data your other devices use comes out of the same plan. The App Store listing says hotspot is included on most plans, but UPeSIM doesn't say which plans, if any, leave it out.

Usually not: UPeSIM has no 14-day withdrawal right, because you ask for the eSIM to be delivered right away when you pay. Changing your mind, a locked or incompatible phone, or a deleted eSIM doesn't qualify.

If your eSIM was delivered but never installed, UPeSIM may offer a voucher for the same amount, valid for 12 months. It's a goodwill gesture, not a right.

If the eSIM doesn't work as described, UPeSIM must fix it or give a discount or refund. Ask through its contact form.

Yes, you can buy your UPeSIM eSIM before you travel and install it at home over Wi-Fi. The plan's days start only when the eSIM first connects to a network in the country it covers.

When you arrive, turn on data roaming for the UPeSIM line and choose it for mobile data. Don't delete it: a deleted eSIM can't be reinstalled.

UPeSIM doesn't give an exact deadline for installing it, but its FAQ says a profile you don't use or top up typically expires after about 60 days.

Not quite: UPeSIM's unlimited data gives you 3 GB at full speed each day. It's rare at UPeSIM: most plans have fixed data, and for now unlimited is offered only for Turkey.

After 3 GB, speed drops to 1 Mbps until midnight French time, when the counter resets. UPeSIM doesn't name a total cap for the whole plan, and unlimited plans don't renew automatically.

Unlimited plans start at $37.90.
