“I ordered an eSim for Greece and it simply didn't work upon landing which is what I've come to expect after many similar purchases from other vendors. In my opinion no one should spend valuable time debugging such issues abroad so we simply ordered from a different vendor and everything worked right away. I asked Airhub for a refund and they didn't even reply to my request.”

Airhub Greece

“I bought 14 300GB eSIMs for Europe and they all stopped working when they reached 35GB. I filed a complaint with AirHub and they told me they didn't actually provide 300GB and only offered 35GB. I asked for a refund and they never gave it to me. That company is a scam. Stay away if you don't want to be scammed.

AIRHUB is a SCAM. They are thieves who steal your money and give you eSIMs with less GB than they offer.”

“Nine hours, no QR code, no support, no refund, not even an e-mail from a real person, nothing. Ripoff. I hate to admit it, but I’ve been scammed. How do you allow these scammers to be here? Are you in on it, too?”

Airhub Greece

“Did not have a great experience with Airhub. They had multiple sets of instructions which conflicted with each other. Both instructions said to change the APN from the default configuration but had different values for what to change it to. Internet connection would sometimes stop working entirely *regardless* of what I set it to in Spain, and in Greece only seemed to work when I reset it to the default (not either of the values from the instructions).

Good price per GB, but not that valuable if it doesn't work. I don't plan to use Airhub again in the future.”

BNESIM Greece

“I tried so many esim providers. Some worked, some less, but when I discovered BNESIM on esimdb I decided to never change. Their prices are amazing, they have real no expiration plans and the prices are very honest.
I used it in my summer vacation in Greece, in a business trip in USA and I could not be more happy. They are the only provider offering international voice calls and virtual numbers, with many other services (VPN!). ”

GlobaleSIM Greece

“This was a surprisingly great experience actually!

I consider myself a little bit of a technophobe so I was VERY hesitant, but the online chat helped me through the installation and was super patient.

Overall, would definitely try again on my next vacation. Hopefully, it’ll arrive sooner rather than later :)”

Greece Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Greece

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Greece, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

There are about 170 travel eSIM providers and over 13, 600 prepaid data plans available for Greece. The wide range offers travelers many options, helping them find a plan that fits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Greece?

Unlimited data eSIM plans for Greece are available from several providers. Providers such as abesteSIM, Roamify, MicroEsim, Yesim, Earth Esim, EtravelSIM, ASIMGO, Truely, Ohayu, Orange Travel, Wiiline, and FairPlay all offer unlimited data options. Most of these plans allow tethering, but many include speed throttling after a certain threshold, with some explicitly stating maximum speed limits (for example, abesteSIM limits speed to 10 Mbps, Earth Esim offers a 5 Mbps or 10 Mbps cap, Ohayu caps at 1 Mbps, and Wiiline reduces speed to 512 kbps after a cut). The pricing for these unlimited plans ranges from roughly $2.39 USD for the shortest validity periods to about $30.61 USD for longer durations or higher‑valued offerings. Prices vary by provider, duration of validity, and any additional features included, so comparing the detailed specifications of each plan will help find the best fit for a traveler’s needs.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Greece?

Cosmote: Greece's largest telecom operator, offering extensive mobile coverage nationwide.
Vodafone Greece: A major provider delivering comprehensive mobile services across the country.
Wind Hellas: A significant operator offering a range of mobile services throughout Greece.

In addition to these major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Greece hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). MVNOs provide mobile services by leasing access from the major carriers. Examples include Q-Telecom and Cyta Mobile. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Greece?

Travel eSIM plans that give a phone number and allow SMS are available for Greece from providers such as GlobaleSIM, EtravelSIM, Orange Travel, Airhub, Roamify and RedEx eSIM. Every listed plan offers inbound and outbound voice and SMS, with the dialing code indicating the country of the number. For example, GlobaleSIM and EtravelSIM use the UK code +44, Orange Travel uses the Polish code +48, while Airhub and RedEx eSIM provide a local Greece number with the dialing code +30. Plans using foreign dialing codes therefore give a non‑local number that will still work for calls and SMS in Greece but will not be a Greek mobile number.

The available options vary in data size, validity and price. Basic data‑only plans start around $4.00 for 1 GB with a 7‑day validity, while higher‑capacity plans up to 30 GB can cost between $24.00 and $27.99 for a 30‑day period. Validity lengths range from 5 days to 30 days, and data caps can be as low as 1 GB or as high as 30 GB, providing a range of options for short‑term travellers needing a local or foreign number with SMS capability.
