Livdar eSIM
Land connected, not looking for a counter
Mobile data for the places you are going, with the catches written down before you buy. If your own plan already covers the destination, we will tell you that too.

Why this reads differently to other eSIM sites
We tell you when not to buy
Thailand sells better local SIM cards than most travel plans. Greece is already in your EU allowance. Those pages say so.
Coverage, not marketing
Which networks carry the country, where the signal actually drops, and what that means for your itinerary.
The limitation up front
A data eSIM gives you internet, not a local phone number. If your trip needs a number, we say so before you spend anything.
How it works
Pick the destination
Search the country or region you are travelling to.
Check what you actually need
Read the coverage notes and the limitations. Sometimes the answer is that you already have what you need.
Install before you fly
An eSIM needs internet to install. Do it at home on wifi and switch it on when you land.

Guides
How an eSIM actually works
An eSIM is a SIM card written into your phone instead of pushed into it. What that changes, what it does not change, and the one thing that catches people out.
Installing and activating an eSIM
Install on wifi at home, keep the line off, switch it on when you land. Here is the full sequence including the settings people forget.
eSIM or roaming
Roaming is simpler. A travel eSIM is usually cheaper outside your home zone. The arithmetic that decides it takes about two minutes.
eSIM or a local SIM card
A local SIM is cheaper per gigabyte and gives you a local number. A travel eSIM costs you no time. Which matters more depends on the trip.
Getting online the moment you land
Airport wifi, SIM counters and eSIM activation compared for the arrival you actually have: tired, in a queue, with a taxi to find.
Common questions
Do you actually sell anything yet?
Not yet. No supplier is connected, so no plan can be activated and no payment is taken anywhere on this site. What you can do is tell us which destination you need, which is what decides where we connect first.
Why would I use this instead of a comparison site?
Because a comparison site is paid when you buy, which makes "you do not need this" an expensive sentence for it to write. We write it on the pages where it is true, and Europe is full of them.
Can I buy a plan right now?
Not yet. We are measuring which destinations people genuinely need before connecting a supplier, so that the first plans we sell are the ones that get used. Tell us your destination and you will hear when it goes live.
Does my phone support eSIM?
Most phones released in the last few years do. The compatibility page lists the specifics and tells you how to check on your own device in about ten seconds.
Will I keep my own number?
Yes, on a dual SIM phone. Your usual line stays active for calls and texts while mobile data runs on the eSIM.
