“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 roughly 180 travel eSIM providers and about 15, 800 prepaid data plans available for Greece, giving travelers a wide variety of options that make it easy to find an eSIM that fits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Greece?

Unlimited data eSIM plans are available for Greece from several providers, including abesteSIM, Roamify, MicroEsim, ASIMGO, Yesim, Earth Esim, EtravelSIM, Truely, Ohayu, Orange Travel, Wiiline, and FairPlay. These plans usually cover periods ranging from one to ten days, most of them allowing tethering while mentioning that speed may be throttled; a few specify explicit limits such as 1 Mbps for Ohayu, 5 Mbps for Wiiline and a range of 5–10 Mbps for Earth Esim, abesteSIM, and MicroEsim. The pricing for unlimited data starts at around $2.40 for the cheapest short‑term options and goes up to approximately $29.90 for the most expensive packages. Travelers should check each provider’s speed throttling policy and choose a plan that provides sufficient bandwidth and duration for their intended use.

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?

Yes, several providers offer travel eSIMs for Greece that give you a phone number and SMS support. In particular, Giga.Tel, GlobaleSIM, EtravelSIM, Orange Travel, Airhub and JamboSim each supply an eSIM with both inbound and outbound voice and SMS, allowing you to register a local contact number. Giga.Tel plans use the Greek dialing code +40, providing a truly local Greek number, while the other providers use foreign codes such as +1 (U.S./Canada), +44 (U.K.), +48 (Poland) or +30 (Greece for Airhub’s plan), so the number will be international rather than local.

These plans vary in size and duration, with data caps from 1 GB to 30 GB and validity from 1 day up to 30 days, and prices typically start around $3.49 USD for a 1‑day Giga.Tel offer or around $4.00 USD for a 7‑day GlobaleSIM plan. All of them include inbound and outbound voice support, and most include inbound and outbound SMS, so you can stay connected with local or international contacts while traveling in Greece.
