Orange eSIM Holidays: Best option

Lowest price per GB

Orange offers the best eSIM for the Czech Republic with its eSIM Holidays. With 30GB of data for €25 with a validity of 15 days, along with its amazing price per GB (0.83€/GB), it offers a Spanish phone number with 100 minutes of voice calls to use all over Europe and the possibility of sharing your data via tethering.

No other eSIM comes even close to Orange’s card in price or features.

Fast and simple ID verification

It is hardly a disadvantage, but Orange requires ID verification for eSIM purchases due to Spanish law. This step requires minimum effort because you’ll stumble upon the ID check while you’re making the purchase.

Orange has tried (and achieved) to make this requirement as straightforward as possible.

Nomad: Everything in its app

Less data

Nomad, with its best offer, provides less data (20GB) for a higher price (€31.50). Its price per GB while being the closest one to Orange’s eSIM Holidays, is still way higher. It is a data only plan, so it doesn’t provide a phone number or voice calls.

Longer validity

Nomad’s eSIM offers a longer validity than Orange’s one, which can be an advantage or a disadvantage, since it means that you’ll have to stretch your data for a longer period.

Airalo: O2 and Eurolink plans

Several cards for Europe

Airalo only offers one plan specifically for the Czech Republic. Its O2 card costs €20.42 with 10GB of data and voice calls for 30 days. However, you can also get one of Airalo’s regional cards to travel to several countries in Europe with its Eurolink eSIMs.

With several offers depending on your data needs, you’ll get coverage to travel to over 39 countries in Europe.

Expensive price per GB

The key problem with Airalo’s offers is their price per GB and their data packages. The one closest to Orange eSIM Holidays is its Eurolink 10GB card, with a prohibitive price of €34.35, over 3 times the price of Orange’s eSIM for a data-only card for Europe.

The cheapest price per GB comes with the Eurolink 100GB, which costs €171.74. With Orange eSIM Holidays, you could get 120GB for €100 to use in Europe.

Orange plays in a whole different league.

Ubigi: Several regional plans

Subscription plans available

Ubigi offers several one-off and subscription plans for Europe, including the Czech Republic. Ubigi’s offer with the best price per GB comes with its one-off plan of 10GB for €15 with a validity of 30 days.

High price per GB

With coverage on the 27 countries of the European Union, the UK and Switzerland, its price per GB is almost double the price of Orange eSIM Holidays and only offers a data plan.

Bnesim: No expiration

One time cards with a high price per GB

Bnesim has three models for its eSIM cards: a one-time card and 2 subscription plans. With its best price for a one-time card being €59.80 for 20GB, it stays quite far from the 0.83 €/GB from Orange. Its primary advantage is its no expiration policy, which allows you to use its card until it runs out of data, no matter how long it takes.

Subscription cards for longer stays

Bnesim’s appeal lies in its subscription plans, with a daily renewal or a monthly renewal. You’ll receive data allowance as long as you keep your subscription, so you can forget about topping up your plans. This model is best suited for longer stays.

Holafly: Expensive

Expensive unlimited plans

Holafly offers unlimited plans at very high prices. With limited validity, they are cards for heavy mobile phone users. For trips with a similar duration as Orange’s, Holafly has 2 unlimited cards, only for data, for 15 or 20 days, with an expensive price of €47 and €57.

No tethering

Holafly is at the bottom of our list because its costly cards don’t even allow tethering, completely ruling out the possibility of using your data for anything other than your phone. You can forget about tethering your laptop, your tablet, or any other device to your phone.

eSIMs by Czech operators

Local network operators usually offer the best performance and connection when visiting any country. The Czech Republic is no exception to that rule.

The main issue with getting a local eSIM is that you have to navigate endless offers in the local language. Vodafone, T-Mobile, O2 Czech Republic or Mobil.CZ offer prepaid eSIMs, but whenever you try to search for them, you’ll end up on a Czech website. O2 even apologizes for its prepaid cards site not being in English.

Most of their offers are quite expensive and provide very little data.

Getting a local SIM card or an eSIM can become quite a headache, and considering that you most probably will need to walk to a store and buy one with your passport in hand… it’s not worth the effort when prepaid eSIMs for travelers exist.

Network coverage in the Czech Republic

The Czech Republic has a pretty solid mobile network with three major carriers: O2 mobile, T-Mobile and Vodafone. Local providers’ coverage is a key factor in the quality of an eSIM for travelers, because the best eSIMs are the ones with the most available roaming partners.

However, no matter which carrier is offering service to your eSIM, you won’t have any connection issues while in the Czech Republic, thanks to the high level of availability offered by the Czech mobile network.

You can take a look at this map to check the coverage of each of the three providers in the Czech Republic.

How to purchase and activate your eSIM

To buy an eSIM to travel to Europe, or in this case to the Czech Republic, you need to access the website of the eSIM of your choice and after purchasing it, you’ll receive an email with a QR code and instructions on how to activate it.

Some carriers require you to be in a specific country to activate the eSIM, but you don’t need to be in the country of destination to buy it.

We recommend making the purchase from your own home country, that way you’ll have your eSIM profile ready for activation, and, in order to avoid possible issues, proceed with the activation of the eSIM profile as soon as you reach the Czech Republic.

eSIM compatibility

Unfortunately, eSIM technology isn’t available in all the devices. That’s why is always a good idea to check the device compatibility lists of the eSIM carriers or in our article: eSIM compatible phones. Check our list.

Broadly speaking, Apple mobile phones since the iPhone 11 or iPhone XR, Samsung devices since the Galaxy S20 , Google phones since the Pixel 3, and 3 XL and some newer models from other manufacturers support eSIMs.

You should check with the eSIM provider, the manufacturer or your home carrier to see if your mobile phone is eSIM compatible.
