Two ways to go: pick a data plan for a set number of gigabytes, or an unlimited plan sized to your trip length so you never think about data.
Data plans
Choose your gigabytes. Best value if you know roughly what you use.
Unlimited plans
Never watch your data. Just pick how long your trip is.
Prices are in USD and payable in crypto. No contract and no auto-renewal, and any balance you do not use stays on your account for next time.

See the plansWhy an eSIM for Estonia
Estonia is the world's most digital nation: you can start a company, vote, or sign a contract online in minutes, and it gave the world Skype, Bolt, and Wise. It was the first country to call internet access a human right, so staying connected here is practically the national religion. Above it all sits medieval Tallinn, one of Europe's best-preserved old towns. An eSIM keeps you online the moment you land.
Coverage is fast and near-total, from the old town to the forests that cover half the country. You buy the data before you fly, pay from your crypto balance with no ID, and keep your home number on its own SIM for calls and bank codes.
- Fast 4G and 5G across Tallinn, the towns, and the countryside.
- Online on arrival at Tallinn Airport.
- One plan for the old town, the islands, and the forests.
- Pay in crypto with no ID, and keep your home number.
Is a Estonia eSIM right for you?
Whoever you are travelling as, the setup is the same: buy, scan, connect. Here is what it means for you.
Estonia eSIM vs a local SIM vs roaming
Coverage is fast on every option in the world's most wired country. The real differences are for non-EU visitors, and for how privately you can pay. Here is how they compare.

EU and EEA visitors roam free on their home plans in Estonia, so this is aimed at non-EU travellers and at anyone who prefers to pay privately in crypto. Costs are rough guides, not quotes.
Coverage and networks in Estonia
Depending on the plan, your eSIM connects to a major Estonian network such as Telia, Elisa, or Tele2. Fittingly for the world's most wired country, coverage is fast and near-total across Tallinn, the towns, the islands, and the forests, with strong 5G in the cities.
Expect strong eSIM coverage in Tallinn, Tartu, Parnu, with data across the rest of Estonia. Signal follows the local network, so it is strongest in cities and along main routes.
Coverage by area
Fast, near-total coverage across Tallinn, Tartu, Parnu, and the towns, with strong 5G. This is where most of your data goes.
Reliable across Saaremaa, Hiiumaa, and the Baltic coast, with only the odd rural dip.
Good along the trails and boardwalks of the national parks like Lahemaa, thinning only in the deepest, most remote woods.
How much data do you need in Estonia?
Whether your Estonia trip is 7 days, 2 weeks, or a month, pick the data size to match. Not sure? Slide your trip length below and we will suggest a plan.
An Estonia trip leans on maps, trains and buses, translation from Estonian, and photos to the cloud. English is very widely spoken, and almost everything, from parking to museums, runs on an app or a card. For a one to two week trip, 5 to 10 GB suits most people. The Unlimited tiers, from 3 to 30 days, suit heavier use, and you can top up any time.
Estimate your data for Estonia
Social, photos, some video
An estimate to guide you, not a limit. Wi-Fi at your hotel covers a lot, and you can top up any time, so it is fine to start smaller.

Using an eSIM in Estonia's top cities
One Estonia eSIM covers all of these. Here is what to expect, city by city.
eSIM in Tallinn
Fast 4G and 5G across the capital, from the medieval old town and Toompea hill to the modern startup district and the ferry port. Your eSIM keeps maps, transit, and translation live as you cross from the cobbles to the glass towers.
eSIM in Tartu
Reliable coverage across Estonia's university city and cultural capital, home to a lively student scene and grand old squares. Handy for museums, cafes, and the train from Tallinn.
eSIM in Saaremaa
Good coverage across the largest island, with its windmills, spa towns, and the Kaali meteorite crater. Useful for the ferry, maps, and finding your way around the quiet coast.
Yes, you can call and text in Estonia
Your eSIM is internet. So every calling and messaging app works, just like at home. No new apps to learn, nothing to set up.
Message anyone
WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger all run over your data.
Call home for free
Voice and video on WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Messenger, no call charges.

Why travellers choose SimVala
“Post-Brexit roaming isn't free, so this covered a Tallinn trip perfectly. Online at the airport, flawless in the old town and out to Lahemaa. Fitting that the world's most digital country had zero connection fuss. Paid in crypto, no ID.”
“Came for the nomad scene and stayed a month. Everything here is an app, and coverage never once dropped. Topped up in crypto, kept my Canadian number for the bank codes.”
“Tallinn and Tartu by train. Fast the whole way, and free wifi is everywhere too. Estonian is a hard language to read, but English is spoken everywhere, so no trouble.”

eSIM in Estonia: FAQ
Does my phone support eSIM?+
Most phones from the last few years do, including recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel models.
How do I pay?+
In crypto only: Bitcoin, Monero, USDT, USDC, Solana, and more.
When does my plan start?+
Your plan validity begins when you install and activate the eSIM, not when you buy it.
Will an eSIM work in Estonia?+
Yes, as long as your phone supports eSIM and is carrier unlocked. The eSIM connects to a local network in Estonia and gives you data the moment you arrive.
How much data do I need in Estonia?+
It depends on what you do. Maps and messaging use very little, while video and hotspotting use much more. For a typical one to two week trip, 3 to 5 GB suits most travelers, and you can top up any time.
Can I keep my phone number in Estonia?+
Yes. Your home number stays on your physical SIM for calls and codes, while the eSIM carries local data. Both work at once on a dual-SIM phone.
Can I buy my eSIM before I travel?+
Yes, and you should. Buy and install it before you fly, then switch the line on when you land in Estonia. Your plan's days only start counting when you activate it, not when you buy.
Does the plan expire?+
Each plan runs for a set number of days once you activate it, shown on the plan. Any balance you have not spent stays on your account for your next trip, so nothing is wasted.
Can I use my eSIM as a personal hotspot?+
On most plans, yes, so you can share your connection with a laptop or a friend. Tethering uses more data, so pick a larger plan if you rely on it.
Do EU visitors even need an Estonia eSIM?+
If you have an EU or EEA plan, you already roam free in Estonia, so you may not need one. This eSIM is aimed at visitors from outside the EU, such as the UK, the US, and further afield, and at anyone who would rather buy data privately in crypto with no ID.
Is Estonia really that digital?+
Yes. It is often called the world's most advanced digital society: almost all government services are online, it pioneered e-residency and a digital nomad visa, and it gave the world Skype, Bolt, and Wise. Coverage and free wifi are excellent to match.
Is coverage good outside Tallinn?+
Yes. Coverage is fast and near-total across the towns, the islands, and the coast, and holds well on the trails and boardwalks of the national parks, thinning only in the deepest forests.
Is there an unlimited data plan for Estonia?+
Yes. Unlimited plans run from 3 to 30 days, handy for a longer trip or heavy use like hotspotting. Sized plans are the cheaper pick if you use less, and you can top up any time.
