# Regional eSIM Plans for Multi-Country Trips

> Regional SimSIM plans cover entire travel zones — Europe, Asia, and more — in one purchase. Ideal for multi-stop itineraries.

If your trip spans multiple countries, a regional plan lets you buy once and stay connected across borders without switching plans. SimSIM regional plans cover popular travel zones in a single purchase.

## What a regional plan covers

A regional plan works in all countries within the designated zone. For example, a Europe plan keeps you connected whether you're in Paris, Rome, or Athens — all on one plan.

## Regional vs country plans

|              | Country Plan                   | Regional Plan                       |
| ------------ | ------------------------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| Best for     | Single-destination trips       | Multi-country itineraries           |
| Flexibility  | Exact coverage for one country | Works across the whole zone         |
| Price        | Lower upfront cost             | Single purchase for all countries   |
| Data sharing | All data for that country      | Shared across countries in the zone |

<Tip>
  Regional plans are great value if you're visiting 3 or more countries. For a single-country trip, a country-specific plan usually offers better value.
</Tip>

<Note>
  Always check the specific country list for each regional plan in the app before purchasing, as coverage zones are updated regularly.
