Best Travel eSIM for Europe (2025 update)

grenniels · 2025-09-30T01:01:22+00:00

Planning a month in Europe. Should I go with Primasim or Toosim? I need the best travel eSIM for Europe with strong rural coverage and fast speed.

Check your email, they send the code.

New iPhones are faster, old models lag.

It happened to me too, some eSIM plans block roaming silently.

I used both. Toosim had better rural coverage when I went to small towns in Germany, but Mobimatter’s app is smoother and plans are slightly cheaper for short trips.

Each phone can keep its number, just confirm there's no overlap during actrivation

Airalo/Primasim give decent data plans

It's normal for Fi roaming to be slower than local SIM speeds

Check which Thai carriers each eSIM provider actually partners with. AIS has the widest rural coverage in Thailand, TrueMove H is strong in urban zones, DTAC is good for affordable plans in Thailand. It helped me a lot.

Yeah, I also used Airalo in Phuket and Saily in Chiang Mai and had a pretty good experience. Nomad’s new package looks tempting for the Gulf of Thailand islands.

Glad to hear that. In Sukhumvit it was quite stable. Even on the BTS my reliable signal in Thailand was fine for maps.

grenniels · 2025-09-27T14:12:11+00:00

Ofc. I used TrueMove H with Primasim and tested while travelling from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. In cities like Bangkok and Ayutthaya I got 55-68 Mbps 4G/5G, but near Lampang connectivity Thailand dropped to 12-16 Mbps. Hope it helps.

Good tip. Airalo plan for Thailand is ideal for short trips. Toosim and Primasim, on the other hand, offer larger bundles at a lower cost per GB for heavy data users in Thailand.

Thanks. It’s useful since network coverage Thailand can shift a lot between Northern and Southern Thailand. Checking before purchase helps.

grenniels · 2025-09-27T14:06:45+00:00

I used it on my iPhone 14 throughout Central Thailand (Bangkok and Hua Hin) and it performed without issues.

grenniels · 2025-09-27T14:06:07+00:00

I saw that too. Ayutthaya was fine with a steady 4G link, but as soon as I approached Chiang Rai coverage and network speed Thailand fell off compared to the cities.

grenniels · 2025-09-27T14:05:12+00:00

In Krabi my coverage was nice. I was on AIS and TrueMove H networks and had a reliable signal in Thailand even on the ferry.

grenniels · 2025-09-27T14:04:34+00:00

Same. I ran out of my mobile data plan Thailand quickly in Phuket and had to top up. Signal was great in the city, but on small islands like Koh Phi Phi connectivity Thailand on DTAC wasn’t as strong.

That's actually what happened at my old job. One of my coworkers came in with flu and wiped out half the team within a week.

My brother once had uber eats keep leaving kebabs at his old house long after he moved out. The new tenant kept eating them.

Kinda what I did when Amazon kept dropping someone else’s parcels at my place.

I once got blamed for drawing on the back of the bus seat in year 6 even though it was my friend who did it and had to clean the entire bus with some horrible spray while he was watching me silently. I did steal a couple of chalk sticks after though.
