Check the following chart with our top prepaid eSIMs to buy for Luxembourg.

*Data collected in 2024

Orange eSIM Holidays. Our first choice with the best price per GB

Starting from the top, we find Orange eSIM Holidays: The best card to roam in Luxembourg with 30GB of data to surf the internet with an unmatched price per GB of 0.83 €/GB. With a validity of 15 days, it provides a Spanish phone number to use anywhere in Europe, with 100 minutes of calls and SMS for an additional credit.

The ID verification required by Spanish law isn’t an ordeal since it is done online during the checkout process.

Orange eSIM Holidays is by far the best option of our list to travel not only to Luxembourg but anywhere in Europe

Airalo Luxcom: Small data packages for a budget trip

Airalo Luxcom provides cheap eSIM cards but small data packages with 1GB, 2GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB and 20GB (which isn’t that small). This last card has a price of €31.29 (34 usd), €6 higher than Orange’s 30GB card. Its best price per GB is 1.56 €/GB, and it uses Tango’s network coverage in Luxembourg.

Nomad: Higher prices for less data

Nomad offers eSIM cards ranging from 1GB to 10GB with expensive prices of €6, €11.5, €13.5 and €18. Its best price per GB comes with the 10GB card with 1.8 €/GB. It provides less than half the data that Orange provides for almost the same price.

Its only advantage lies in its app. All your roaming needs as a tourist can be controlled through Nomad’s app, and, while it uses its own network to connect anywhere in the world, in Luxembourg this network connects to a combination of local network providers to make sure you never lack coverage in the country.

Yesim: Not really unlimited

Yesim offers 4 eSIM data packages with a similar price to its competitors, however, the offer that shines the most is its 20GB plan. For €28, Yesim offers 20 GB for 15 days. This is a very interesting offer, but the secret is in its small print.

In reality, Yesim offers 1GB of LTE connection per day on your phone, throttling down its speed to 256KB/sec after consuming this gigabyte. With 256KB per second you can barely surf the internet nowadays, but you won’t get completely disconnected from the internet after consuming your daily allowance.

Bnesim One time: High price per GB with unlimited validity

Bnesim has 3 types of eSIM plans for Luxembourg. 1 prepaid card and 2 subscription plans. The prepaid card offers 1, 3, 5, 10 and 20GB with the cheapest price per GB at 2.99 €/GB. Its main advantage is that these plans have no expiration date: You buy them and you can use them until they run out of data, no matter how long it takes.

As for Bnesim’s subscription plans, they come with a daily renewal and a monthly renewal model. If you’re looking to get their subscription plans, the best price per GB they offer is on their 100GB for €137.90, which is still a higher price per GB than the one offered by Orange.

Bnesim uses Tango, POST and Orange’s network coverage in Luxembourg, so you’ll have the best internet connectivity everywhere in the country.

Holafly: Limited only by its validity

Holafly proposes a different model. All of Holafly’s eSIM cards provide unlimited data, but they are limited by the number of days they can be used.

With very expensive prices, Holafly is best suited for a thoroughly planned stay and if you think you’ll use a lot of data not connecting to any Wi-Fi while abroad.

And if its prices don’t seem to be a drawback for you, Holafly’s “no tethering” policy will surely be. With Holafly, you won’t be allowed to connect any other devices to your phone as a hotspot, excluding the possibility of working while using their unlimited data, or sharing the data with any other device you want.

Regional eSIM plans for Europe (Keepgo, Knowroaming, Mogo)

Because of Luxembourg’s size, you might need to buy a regional plan so you can keep using your data if you travel to the neighboring countries in Europe. Orange eSIM Holidays can be used all over Europe, but some other prepaid plans can’t, unless you expressly check for regional cards. This is where eSIM cards such as the ones from Keepgo, Knowroaming or Mogo come into action.

Keepgo offers 6 eSIM data bundles to use in Europe, both global and regional. Knowroaming offers 3 plans for Europe and 4 global plans, and Mogo offers 2 Europe plans. The prices of these eSIM cards are quite expensive, so, unless you’re sure you’ll need coverage in the countries they offer, don’t bother checking them out.

Buying an eSIM for Luxembourg

To buy an eSIM to travel to Luxembourg, or anywhere in Europe, you just need to go to the website of the eSIM plan you like and proceed with the purchase. After payment, you’ll receive a QR code and instruction in your email. As simple as that!

You’ll save yourself a trip to a local store and all the hassle of purchasing a SIM card. However, you better make sure your mobile phone supports eSIMs. You can check if your device is eSIM compatible by searching this list.

eSIMs are only available on certain devices. It is a standard on Apple devices such as the iPhone XR, iPhone 11 and newer mobile phones. Samsung offers eSIM technology on its Samsung S20 phone among others, and Google phones such as the Pixel 3 and 3XL also support eSIMs.

To make sure that your phone supports eSIMs, check with the eSIM seller since they usually provide a list with supported devices, and if you need to double check, contact your primary carrier or the device’s manufacturer.

Advantages of eSIMs vs SIM cards

With eSIMs, traveling to another country without spending too much money on roaming costs has been transformed radically.

With physical SIM cards, in order to use a network for your data needs abroad, you needed (and still need if your device doesn’t support eSIMs) to visit a store on the country of destination, or, in the best case scenario, wait for it to arrive if you bought it online. You also had to extract your home carrier’s SIM from your mobile phone and insert the new one, only using one or the other and risking losing your SIM card in the process.

With eSIMs, switching providers is as easy as selecting a profile for your internet, so you can keep using your home carrier SIM for calls and SMS.
