The 7 Best eSIMs for Ireland: From Short Visits to Longer Stays

Tourism in Ireland🍀is booming right now, but WiFi isn't always guaranteed—whether you're exploring Dublin's pubs on St. Patrick's Day, or gone off the beaten path.

Wouldn't it be great if you could just turn roaming on and not have to worry about the charges when you get home?

Well now you can... with eSIM! This digital SIM connects you to a mobile network in any country without needing a physical SIM card. It can be activated with a few changes in your phone settings, giving you access to mobile data, calls, and texts WITHOUT ROAMING CHARGES! (read that again.)

But how to choose the right eSIM plan? It depends largely on how long you plan to stay (and how much you plan to use your phone.) We listed some of our favourite plans in order of trip duration (1 day to 90 days)—available in Ireland now!

Lots of trusted brands have launched an eSIM product you can download instantly, and Sim Local stocks them all! Just remember: buying larger data bundles often provides significantly better value per gigabyte, making longer-term plans particularly friendly to your pocket.
