Connectivity by Region

🌴Southeast Asia

good

Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Cambodia

~€2/GBRecommended: Country

🏰Western Europe

excellent

Portugal, Spain, Germany, France, Netherlands, Italy

EU roaming rules mean one regional plan covers all EU countries. Get a Europe-wide eSIM and hop freely between countries.

~€4/GBRecommended: Regional

🏔️Eastern Europe

good

Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary

Most EU roaming plans cover these countries too. Good 4G in cities, but rural coverage can be spotty in the Balkans.
