Top 5 eSIMs for Liechtenstein

In the following chart, we compare our top options for the best eSIM for Lichtenstein.

*Data collected in 2023

Orange eSIM Holidays

The best prepaid card for Liechtenstein

Orange eSIM Holidays is the best eSIM you can buy to travel to Liechtenstein. It offers 30GB of data for an incredible price of €25 (0.83 €/GB) and a Spanish phone number to use all over the European Union, Liechtenstein and Norway  with 100 minutes of international voice calls and SMS for an additional credit. No other card can compete against this offer.

Identity verification required

Because Orange eSIM Holidays comes with a Spanish phone number, you’ll be required to provide your ID for legal reasons. However, you can provide your ID or passport directly when you’re buying the eSIM. You don’t need to go to a store or send anything via mail. IT is just one step of the purchase process.

Holafly

Expensive unlimited plans

Holafly offers 2 plans with more or less the same duration as Orange eSIM Holidays with unlimited data. Their price is, however, quite expensive, and it becomes the main issue with these travel eSIMs. For 15 days using their data, the eSIM costs €47, and if you’re staying 20 days, you’ll have to pay €57.

Calculated stays

The optimal way to manage Holafly’s plans would be to check your usual data usage during the validity period and then analyze the amount of data you’ll be using during your stay abroad. The whole point of Holafly’s unlimited plans is to erase any complications of data allowance during your holidays, but if you don’t plan your stay carefully, you’ll end up paying extra for the same data. For the same period, if you’re using 30GB of data or less, Orange eSIM Holiday‘s price is only €25.

Airalo LiE Mobile

Less data

Airalo LiE Mobile has one plan for Liechtenstein with the same validity as Orange eSIM Holidays. For around €6.60 you’ll get the scarce amount of 2GB of data to use over a period of 15 days. If you need more data, you’ll want to purchase their 20GB eSIM for around €30.15, with a validity of 30 days. For nearly €5 less, you’ll get 30GB with a phone number and 100 minutes of international voice calls with Orange eSIM Holidays, so no point in comparing both eSIM plans.

Expensive price per GB

These Airalo LiE Mobile eSIMs end up costing 1.8 €/GB or 1.5 €/GB, which is quite expensive for a data only card. Remember that Orange eSIM Holidays, with everything that it offers, costs 0.83€/GB.

Nomad

Small data package

Nomad’s best offer for Liechtenstein is an eSIM with 10GB of data for €17.5. It is a small data only  plan with a validity of 30 days. This plan uses Truphone, a global connectivity provider, and the network you’ll be connecting to depends on Truphone’s network partners in Liechtenstein.

Expensive GB

Nomad’s price per GB is quite expensive, and, considering what it offers, comparing it with Orange eSIM Holidays is not even worth it.

Bnesim One Time

The most expensive plan

Bnesim One Time cards are the most expensive in our list. The best offer in price per GB is a card with 20GB of data for an exorbitant price of €59.80. With this card, you’ll connect to 7acht in Liechtenstein with a data only plan and tethering. Bnesim has subscription plans with similar prices, so if you’re staying for a longer period, and don’t want to keep topping up your data allowance, it might be worth the extra cost (it’s up to you).

No expiration

The major advantage Bnesim offers with their One Time cards is that they don’t expire. You can keep using their eSIM card for as long as their data allows, even if you leave Liechtenstein and come back in a few months. All you’ll need is to keep your profile active by topping up your data allowance within a period of 6 months.

The best regional eSIMs (Airalo, Airhub and Orange eSIM Holidays)

If you’re looking to travel to other destinations inside of Europe during your Holiday trip to Liechtenstein (maybe to its neighbor Austria) you can also get a regional eSIM. While plenty of carriers offer regional eSIMs for Europe, the most interesting ones are Airalo Eurolink, Airhub and, in our opinion, the best one: Orange eSIM Holidays,

With Airalo Eurolink you’ll get (their best offer) 100GB to use in a period of 180 days in Europe for €174. If you’re looking for a shorter holiday, then their best offer is its Eurolink plan of 10GB for around €35, with a validity of 30 days.

Airhub’s best offer for Europe is its 20 GB Europe Plan with a price of 40 usd (€37.50) with a validity of 14 days.

Orange remains the best offer since it offers coverage in all the countries of the European Union, Norway and Liechtenstein with 30GB of data for €25 with a validity of 15 days. With its price per GB, you’re always better off purchasing Orange eSIM Holidays to avoid roaming costs in Europe.

How to know if my device is eSIM compatible?

eSIM compatibility is one of the major issues of this technology. Our recommendation is that you check the device compatibility list each eSIM carrier provides on their websites. Some eSIM carriers only support eSIMs in certain devices, so this is the best option.
If by any chance you remain unsure about your device capability of installing an eSIM, you can also check with your home carrier, your device’s manufacturer or in our article: eSIM compatible phones. Check our list.

Broadly speaking, Apple devices since 2019 (iPhone 11, iPhone 12…) Samsung devices since 2020 (Samsung Galaxy S20, Samsung Galaxy S21…), Google phones since 2017 (Google Pixel 3, Google Pixel 3 XL, Google Pixel 7a…) and certain models from other brands like Huaweii or Oppo, support eSIMs.
