Buy eSIM data plans for Ireland
A Ireland eSIM is a prepaid mobile-data plan for your trip. Install it on a compatible, carrier-unlocked phone before departure, then select it as your data line within the plan's coverage area.
An Ireland eSIM is a data-only SIM that downloads to your phone, so you arrive online instead of hunting for a kiosk. Land at Dublin Airport, clear the gate, and your plan latches onto local networks - Three, Meteor and Vodafone, each carrying 5G - while you wait for your bag. There are no roaming fees and nothing to swap; you simply skip the roaming surcharge from home and stay connected from the first minute. Pull up maps to the city, message family that you've landed, and check directions before you ever leave the terminal. It is the easiest way to have mobile data the moment you touch down.

With coverage strong across the centre, you can message, map and look things up without a second thought.

Frequently asked questions
Which mobile networks does the Ireland eSIM use?
It connects to Ireland's main carriers - Three, Meteor and Vodafone - and each of them carries 5G, with 4G as the fallback where 5G isn't yet available. Your phone picks the strongest available signal automatically, so you don't have to choose a network manually.
Will the eSIM work on a driving trip along the coast?
Yes, with a realistic expectation. Coverage is strong in and around towns, so most of a route like the Wild Atlantic Way or the Ring of Kerry stays connected. On the most remote rural stretches between settlements, service can thin out or drop - that's normal anywhere with low population, so download offline maps for those gaps.
I'm also visiting Britain and the continent - is one plan enough?
This is an Ireland-only plan, so it covers Ireland and nothing else. Ireland is in the EU but not the Schengen area, and Britain is separate again, so for a trip that crosses into Britain or onto the continent you'll get better value from a regional eSIM that covers all the countries on your route.
When should I set up the eSIM before flying to Dublin?
Install it at home over Wi-Fi a day or two before you travel, while you still have a stable connection. Leave activation set for when you arrive, then it switches on by itself as you reach Dublin Airport - no kiosk, no setup while you're tired and looking for the exit.
Will my phone work with an Ireland eSIM?
Most phones from the last several years support eSIM - recent iPhones, Google Pixels and many Samsung Galaxy models. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. If you can find an 'Add eSIM' or 'Add mobile plan' option in your settings, you're good to go.
Can I keep my own number and use a hotspot in Ireland?
Yes. The eSIM runs alongside your usual SIM, so your home number stays active for calls and texts while the eSIM handles data - just turn roaming off on your main line to avoid charges. You can also share the connection as a hotspot to a laptop or tablet, subject to your plan's data allowance.
