        "content": "Yes \u2014 with Revolut you *can* buy an eSIM that gives you data while travelling across more than one country. It doesn\u2019t replace your physical SIM in most cases, but it offers a digital data-only connection globally (depending on the plan). Below are the key things to know, including what works, what doesn\u2019t, and what to watch out for.\n\n---\n\n### \u2705 What a Revolut eSIM offers\n\n- **Global & regional plans**: Revolut provides eSIM data plans that work in 100+ countries and territories around the world. You can pick \u201clocal\u201d (in one country), \u201cregional,\u201d or \u201cglobal\u201d plans in the Revolut app. ([revolut.com](https://www.revolut.com/esim/global-esim/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Using after installation**: Once you\u2019ve installed the eSIM, you can top it up from the Revolut app anytime if you run low or want to travel further. ([revolut.com](https://www.revolut.com/esim/global-esim/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Included with certain plans**: Revolut\u2019s Ultra plan includes 3 GB of global data *each month*. This is a rolling benefit. ([revolut.com](https://www.revolut.com/esim/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \u26a0\ufe0f What it doesn\u2019t do\n\n- **Voice calls & SMS not supported**: Revolut\u2019s eSIMs only provide **data only**. You can\u2019t use them to make regular phone calls or send SMS. If you need those, you\u2019ll still need your regular SIM or use apps like WhatsApp/SMS-over-data. ([help.revolut.com](https://help.revolut.com/help/revpoints/esim/question-getting-started-with-esim/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **One active data plan at a time per device**: Although you can have up to 15 different eSIM data plans, only one will be active at any given time. ([help.revolut.com](https://help.revolut.com/help/revpoints/esim/question-getting-started-with-esim/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Coverage varies by country**: While the service covers many countries, rates, speeds and supported networks differ. Always check Revolut\u2019s in-app \u201ceSIM \u2192 get data plan\u201d section for your specific itinerary. ([revolut.com](https://www.revolut.com/esim/global-esim/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udca1 Practical considerations\n\n- **Device compatibility**: Your smartphone must support eSIM technology. Most newer iPhones and Android devices do. ([mobilenewscwp.co.uk](https://mobilenewscwp.co.uk/News/article/revolut-1global-launch-esim-service/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Roaming vs \u201cglobal\u201d plan limitations**: Even a \u201cglobal\u201d plan might have limits or differential treatment in specific places. Revolut partners with mobile providers (through 1Global among others) to provide global network access, which involves a lot of roaming agreements. ([businesswire.com](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240222033843/en/Data-Roaming-Without-Worries-Now-in-Every-App-eSIM-Innovator-1GLOBAL-gives-FinTech-its-Own-Roaming-Service?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Cost**: Costs per gigabyte vary by plan and country. For example, in one report, you\u2019d pay between **\u20ac4 for 1 GB** up to **\u20ac38.50 for 20 GB** in \u201cglobal\u201d tier countries like the US, Australia, parts of Asia, etc. This can be more expensive than region-specific or local-only eSIMs. ([independent.ie](https://www.independent.ie/business/technology/revolut-launches-pricey-new-esim-roaming-service/a880002274.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which country you live in (or where your Revolut account is registered) and where you plan to travel, I can check whether their eSIM service covers *exactly* your travel route (and give you a cost estimate)."
