Data Top Up

You might run out of data while using the Orange eSim while roaming in Europe. But don’t fret, they have data top-ups available to make it easy to keep on traveling stress-free.

Ideally, you should do it via their App (Android or iPhone), as in my experience that is the simplest way to use any eSIM or SIM while traveling. They have the following top-up amounts available:

• 1GB/ 7 Days  for 11.00€
• 3GB / 30 Days for 27.00€
• 5GB / 14 Days  for 21.70€
• 10GB / 30 Days for 32.50€
• 20GB / 31 Days for 40.00€

Orange’s plans can be delivered as both an eSIM or a SIM card.

You can easily install the eSIM on any compatible iPhone or Android device (check out our list here).

If you don’t have such a phone, you can order your SIM and have it delivered before you leave on your trip. It typically takes

• 3-5 days to the USA
• 5-7 days to Canada
• 1-3 days to anywhere in the EU
• Not deliverable to Africa or South America
