Travel eSIM Price Index, October 2026

What a week of mobile data costs a traveller in 193 countries: the price of the cheapest travel eSIM plan with at least 5 GB of data valid for at least 7 days, country by country, with the plan behind every figure, plus 8 travel regions. Built from 18,332 travel eSIM plans from 15 providers, each read from the provider's own feed, API or plan page and dated. October 2026: median $12.19, from $4.29 in Turkey to $183.49 in Iran. Published monthly by eSIMCompare. The live index is at esimcompare.co/esim-price-index and the method at esimcompare.co/methodology. Version 1.1 (2026-10-29), correction: the United Kingdom's best price per GB was $0.22, from a Simbye 200 GB plan bundled with a UK phone number and calls; this index compares data-only plans, so it now reads $0.42 (Seyyah Mobile, 50 GB, 30 days, observed 2026-10-26). No other figure changed.
