How to get cell service in Europe
There are several easy options to get cell service in Europe:
- The most convenient and affordable option is to purchase a regional Europe data plan before your trip. If you purchase a Europe eSIM from aloSIM, you can install it before your trip and activate it instantly on arrival. This will connect you to local European networks and give you access to mobile data in 35 countries across Europe. You can enjoy fast, reliable data without worrying about roaming fees or swapping physical SIM cards.
- Your home carrier likely offers an international plan—just note that it will be expensive.
- If your phone has a slot for a physical SIM card, you can purchase one from a European carrier (if you can find a store on arrival). However, there is always the risk of losing your primary SIM card, so be careful.
