Why it fits a long stay
- Connect on arrival, then top up as you go with no contract.
- Single-country plans are the best value for months in one place.
- Pay in crypto with no ID, and keep your home number active.
- No local registration or credit history needed to get started.
- Leftover balance stays on your account between top-ups.
Which plan to pick
For a long stay in one country, a single-country plan is the clear choice. Pick a size you will use in a few weeks and top up when it runs down, rather than buying months of data at once.
If your long stay is a base you travel out from, keep a regional plan for those trips so you are covered the moment you cross a border.
Plans are prepaid with no contract and no auto-renewal, and any balance you do not use stays on your account for your next trip.
Compare a local SIM for heavy, multi-month use
An eSIM wins on convenience, privacy, and getting started. If you are in one country for many months on heavy data, a local postpaid SIM can be cheaper per gigabyte. For most long stays the eSIM is simpler, but the comparison is worth a minute.
