## Why the network name helps

Your eSIM is only as good as the operator it rides on. Sim Local tells you which one: Orange across Europe, Lycamobile in the USA, AU in Japan, True in Thailand, EE and Three at home.

## Where the prices land

At 10GB and above, Sim Local came in under Saily on every matching plan we priced on 24 September 2026, and the code widens the gap — £10.35 against £12.49 for Spain 10GB, and £28.80 (5GB a day at full speed) against £38.49 for 15 days of unlimited Europe data. Saily edges the smallest plan and bundles an ad blocker ([Saily offer](/referrals/saily)).

## If plans change

An eSIM you have not activated can be refunded in full within 14 days, and one that failed to activate through a technical fault is refunded regardless.

## Verdict

A strong pick for trips of a week or more. Prices were read on Sim Local's own pages on 24 September 2026.
