You\u2019ll find that you\u2019re faced with 2 options: face expensive roaming charges or buy an Irish SIM Card. Both require contracts, meaning that you can\u2019t just pay once and forget about it.

All you need to do to activate it is scan a QR code that will be sent to your email address, it\u2019s that easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Warning: <\/strong>You can only set up your eSIM once.

As mentioned before, this plan includes 30<strong>GB<\/strong> of data at <strong>4G\/LTE<\/strong> Speed to be used over <strong>15 days<\/strong> for <strong>25\u20ac<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Unmatched Price per Gigabyte<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orange eSIM Holidays has an unmatched <strong>Price per Gigabyte<\/strong> (Price\/GB) of <strong>0.83\u20ac<\/strong>, making it the <strong>best value <\/strong>product. The Price\/GB is so competitive that it compensates for the shorter duration. You can just top-up your eSIM for a <strong>similar amount of data<\/strong> as other companies, but at <strong>half the price<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>European Carrier allows for calls<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, if you buy an Orange eSIM Holidays data plan, you get <strong>100 minutes for international calls<\/strong>. Given that this plan is from Orange Spain, it is fitting that you\u2019ll receive a Spanish number for those 100 minutes of international calls. In fact, this amazing Price\/GB comes as a consequence of Orange being a local carrier as opposed to other providers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Identity Check &#8211; Quick and easy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of Spanish Law, this plan does require an identity check, but it\u2019s done in such a smooth way that it\u2019s not a bother at all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, this eSIM has an <strong>unbeatable<\/strong> Price\/GB with calls and SMS to boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>eSIM MEO Enjoy Europe &#8211; Best Choice without Identity Check<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Price\/GB without Identity Check<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esimpt.com\/en?slider=1&amp;product=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eSIM MEO<\/a> has 2 eSIMs with different amounts of data to be used over <strong>15 days<\/strong>, both at <strong>4G\/LTE<\/strong> speed. One contains <strong>5GB<\/strong> for <strong>15\u20ac<\/strong> and the other contains <strong>15GB<\/strong> for <strong>30\u20ac<\/strong>. The latter plan is extremely recommendable, given that it has the best value for those who do not want to go through the identity check.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 5GB plan has a Price\/GB of <strong>3\u20ac<\/strong>, and the 15GB plan costs <strong>2\u20ac<\/strong> for every Gigabyte. MEO is a local Portuguese carrier, which allows them to have this great Price\/GB on their 15GB plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Communication with data-only plans<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a data-only plan, meaning that you won\u2019t be able to make calls or send SMS messages with this eSIM. You will be able to use apps such as Whatsapp to communicate with your loved ones during your stay in Ireland.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Up to 10 installations of the same eSIM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, unlike the majority of eSIM Brands, eSIM MEO allows you to delete and reinstall your eSIM up to 10 times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To summarise, the 15GB plan has a superb Price\/GB with the added bonus of not needing an identity check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Airalo F\u00e1ilte &#8211; Budget option<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Multiple data plans with High Price\/GB<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airalo has 4 different plans for Ireland, containing different amounts of data at <strong>4G\/LTE<\/strong> speed, the sizes and durations of which can be consulted in the table above.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airalo is most viable for those who are on a <strong>really tight budget<\/strong>, given that their eSIMs mainly contain smaller amounts of data. This means that the Price\/GB is more expensive, so despite offering cheaper plans, the value for money is compromised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Download the Airalo App to activate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like eSIM MEO, all of their eSIMs are data-only and do not require an identity check. Furthermore, Airalo requires their customers to download their app in order to activate their eSIMs, making them less intuitive to activate due to the proprietary system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>WHIZ &#8211; Large Data Plans<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Large Plan without identity check<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WHIZ has 2 different <strong>4G\/LTE<\/strong> data-only plans that last <strong>30 days<\/strong>, one containing <strong>10GB<\/strong> for <strong>$23.99<\/strong> <strong>($2.40\/GB)<\/strong> , the other containing <strong>50GB<\/strong> for <strong>$80.99 ($1.62\/GB)<\/strong>. This eSIM has the best value for those who want a very large amount of data without needing to do an identity check.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Higher price, \u2154 of the data<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t mind doing an identity check, you can buy an <strong>Orange eSIM Holidays<\/strong> plan and top it up twice, and you would be provided <strong>90GB<\/strong> for <strong>75\u20ac ($78.22)<\/strong> with calls and SMS, meaning that you receive more data for a cheaper price and added bonus features.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Ubigi &#8211; Highest Price\/GB<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Ubigi has the <strong>largest variation<\/strong> in data quantity in their 5 plans, ranging from <strong>500MB to 50GB <\/strong>of data at <strong>4G\/LTE<\/strong> speed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Expensive, even for small plans<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 500MB eSIM only lasts one day, making it perfect for those who are staying in Ireland for one night for a connecting flight. Nonetheless, such a small amount of data means that it will be expensive for the amount of data provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Airalo, Ubigi requires its customers to download their app in order to activate their eSIMs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-text-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"color:#000000;background-color:#ededed\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"schedule-a-visit\" style=\"font-size:30px;line-height:1.15\">Buy Orange eSIM Holidays now for 30GB of 4G Data at the best price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.esimholidays.com\/en\/europe\" style=\"border-radius:50px;color:#ffffff;background-color:#ff6600\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GET your esim for ireland now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"925\" height=\"617\" data-id=\"727\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esimholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ireland-cliffside-hikers.jpg\" alt=\"travelers in Ireland with their eSIM\" class=\"wp-image-727\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.esimholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ireland-cliffside-hikers.jpg 925w, https:\/\/www.esimholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ireland-cliffside-hikers-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.esimholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/ireland-cliffside-hikers-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 925px) 100vw, 925px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to activate your eSIM<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>eSIM Activation on Apple devices<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open the <strong>Settings<\/strong> app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect to a <strong>stable Wi-Fi Network.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>\u201cMobile Data\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>\u201cAdd Data Plan\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scan the <strong>QR Code<\/strong> sent to your email address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select \u201c<strong>Add Data Plan\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the <strong>PIN<\/strong> found in the same email when prompted<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enjoy<\/strong> your trip to Ireland!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>eSIM Activation on Samsung devices<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open the <strong>Settings<\/strong> app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect to a <strong>stable Wi-Fi Network.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>\u201cConnections\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>\u201cSIM Card Manager\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select \u201c<strong>Add Mobile Plan\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>\u201cAdd using QR Code\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scan the <strong>QR Code<\/strong> sent to your email address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the <strong>PIN <\/strong>found in the same email when prompted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enjoy<\/strong> your trip to Ireland!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1687440382008\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>When will be eSIM available in Ireland<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>eSIM is available in Ireland right now.

Gone is the hassle of finding a physical SIM card store and finding the carrier with the best contract. With eSIM you can pay once online, activate your plan and forget about it!<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1687440418769\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Is it a good idea to switch to eSIM?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If you are travelling to Ireland, whether it be for business or pleasure, it is a great idea to use an eSIM, given that you can buy your eSIM online ahead of time. Most phones that have eSIM have Dual-SIM compatibility, meaning that you won\u2019t need to switch; you can have your regular SIM card in your phone while using your eSIM card. This means that once you\u2019re there, all you need to do is activate it and enjoy your trip to Ireland.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1687440432938\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Are eSIMs Cheaper?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If you buy a physical Irish SIM Card and forget to cancel your contract after your trip, you might find some unexpected charges. This is why it is cheaper and easier to buy an eSIM as opposed to worrying about when you\u2019re going to be billed and cancelling your contract.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1687440437872\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Is eSIM available for prepaid?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes!
