Europe eSIM
A European trip rarely stays in one country — and in the bundle world that means buying a new eSIM at every border or settling for an overpriced 'regional plan'. With Rivio, one eSIM and one balance work across 30+ European countries: carriers switch automatically when you cross a border, and you pay only for the gigabytes you use at each country's local rate.
Why a balance beats bundles in Europe
Built for multi-country routes
Paris–Amsterdam–Berlin doesn't need three packages. One balance works in all three on the same eSIM — and if the route changes, nothing to rebuy.
No countdown clock
No '5 GB / 30 days' timer. Your balance behaves like money: whatever this summer's trip doesn't use, next winter's trip will.
Same deal outside the EU
The UK, Switzerland, Norway and the Balkans sit outside EU roaming rules — where surprise charges usually strike. With Rivio they run on the same eSIM and the same balance.
Per-GB rates across Europe
Rates vary by country and are always current in the app. Tap any country for coverage and carrier details.
Real math: a 12-day, three-country trip
Twelve days across Italy, France and Spain; at ~320 MB a day that's about 3.8 GB total.
Rivio, one balance
$9.31
3.8 GB × $2.45/GB — one eSIM in all three countries, nothing to do at borders, leftover balance rolls to your next trip.
Regional fixed bundle
$15–20
The going range for a 'Europe 5 GB / 30 days' package. The unused 1.2 GB burns, and nothing carries over to a second trip.
Heavy users burning 15 GB or more can still come out ahead on a big regional bundle's unit price. See the pay-as-you-go guide for the full comparison.
Is Rivio the best eSIM for Europe?
There is no single answer to 'the best eSIM for Europe' — it depends on how you travel. If you want unlimited-data comfort on a short trip, Holafly-style plans make sense; if you burn 20 GB+ in one country, a big fixed bundle can win on unit price. Where Rivio wins is multi-country routes, uncertain usage and frequent trips — because one balance works across the whole continent and never expires.

Frequently asked questions
How many European countries does the eSIM cover? +
Rivio works in 30+ European countries on a single eSIM profile — including France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Greece, the UK, Switzerland and Norway. There is no separate 'Europe package' to buy; the same balance is valid across the continent.
Are non-EU countries like the UK and Switzerland included? +
Yes. EU roaming rules don't cover these countries, which is exactly where classic carrier plans produce surprise charges. With Rivio, the UK, Switzerland, Norway and the Balkans run on the same balance at local per-GB rates.
Do you offer unlimited data in Europe? +
No. Rivio doesn't sell unlimited packages; it's a pay-as-you-go service. If unlimited comfort on a short trip is your priority, providers like Holafly may fit better; for multi-country routes and normal usage, metered per-GB pricing usually works out cheaper.
Does it come with a phone number? +
Rivio is a data-only eSIM — no phone number included. Calls work over WhatsApp, FaceTime and similar apps, and your own number stays active on your primary SIM.
What do I do when crossing between countries? +
If the initial setup is complete and data roaming is enabled for Rivio, no new QR code or package is needed. When you cross from France into Italy, the device registers on a partner network when coverage is available and usage is charged at Italy's rate.
How much balance should I load for a Europe trip? +
A typical traveler uses ~300 MB a day, so a 10-day trip needs about 3 GB — roughly $8-10 of balance in most European countries. If you run low, topping up takes seconds; whatever is left over waits for your next trip.
