An eSIM is a digital profile installed directly on your device; you don’t need a physical SIM card.

With TurTrip, you buy your eSIM for Ireland online, install it on your phone, and get connected without a physical SIM card.

Once activated, your eSIM automatically connects to local networks operated by Hutchison Ireland, Meteor Mobile Ireland, Vodafone Ireland, and 3 Ireland, so you can use the internet in Ireland throughout your trip without roaming charges or hassle.

All unlimited data eSIMs for Ireland include unlimited data throughout your trip, so you can explore without worrying about losing your connection. Here’s how it works: you get 1 GB per day at maximum speed, ideal for smooth browsing.

Once you’ve used your daily 1 GB of high-speed data, your service stays active. Your speed is reduced to 1.25 Mbps, so you can still use WhatsApp, Google Maps and social media, check bookings, find restaurants, or read your email. You stay connected even after using your daily high-speed allowance.

Your 1 GB of high-speed data resets automatically every 24 hours. There’s nothing you need to do: each day of your trip, you get a fresh high-speed allowance to use your phone as usual.

Data coverage in Ireland is very good in major cities and tourist destinations such as Dublin, Cork, Galway, or Limerick. You connect through the networks of Hutchison Ireland, Meteor Mobile Ireland, Vodafone Ireland and 3 Ireland, providing a stable connection throughout your trip.

Speeds may vary in rural or less populated areas and on long road trips, although the connection usually remains suitable for basic internet use, such as maps, messaging, or quick searches.

No. All TurTrip plans for Ireland are data-only. To make calls over the internet, you can use apps that work with your mobile data or Wi-Fi connection.

Your eSIM for Ireland lasts for the period included in your plan, such as 7, 15, or 30 days. The validity period starts when your eSIM first connects to a compatible local network in Ireland, not when you install or buy it.

All TurTrip eSIMs also have a 6-month validity period. If you don’t use your eSIM during that time, it expires automatically 6 months after its last use.

You can connect to 3G, 4G, LTE, and 5G networks, depending on the available coverage and your device’s compatibility. In urban areas, browsing is generally smooth; in less populated areas, speeds may be lower, with connection stability taking priority over maximum speed.

Yes. With your TurTrip eSIM, you can share data using tethering or hotspot with other devices, such as a laptop, tablet or another phone, as long as your device supports it.

Any data you share is deducted from your plan, just as it would be if you were browsing on your phone. Video calls, browsing on a computer and streaming can use data more quickly.

We recommend using your hotspot when needed and checking usage in your TurTrip account. If you need more data during your trip in Ireland, you can easily top up your plan at any time.

Yes. For your TurTrip eSIM to work correctly in Ireland, keep data roaming turned on in your phone’s settings. This doesn’t incur any additional charges, because you’re using the local network associated with your eSIM, rather than roaming with your regular carrier.

If data roaming is off, your phone may not connect even if your eSIM is installed correctly. We recommend turning it on before using data and keeping it on throughout your trip to avoid interruptions.

Turning on data roaming is essential to use the internet in Ireland, whether you’re in a city, on the road, or in a more remote area.

If your eSIM doesn’t activate when you arrive in Ireland, don’t worry: a few steps usually resolve it. First, check that your TurTrip eSIM is selected as your mobile data line and that data roaming is turned on in your phone's settings.

If you don’t connect right away, try restarting your device or turning on and off airplane mode for a few seconds to trigger a network search. Also check that you don’t have a data limit or a power-saving mode that could be blocking your connection.

These steps usually help your eSIM connect to a local network in Ireland. If you still can’t connect, log in to your TurTrip account and contact our support team, who will help you resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Yes, and we recommend it. In your TurTrip account, tap the installation link to add the eSIM directly to your phone. You can use the QR code as an alternative. Install it before your trip and turn on mobile data when you arrive in Ireland. Until then, you won’t use data or days from your plan.

Yes. After landing in Ireland, turn off airplane mode and check that your eSIM line, mobile data, and data roaming are turned on. You can reconnect, as long as there is coverage at your destination.

Yes. You can buy your eSIM for Ireland even when you’re already there, as long as you have internet access to complete your purchase and installation, such as Wi-Fi at your accommodation, a café or an airport.

The delivery is instant and you can install your eSIM on your phone in just a few minutes. Once it’s installed, turn on the eSIM line, mobile data, and data roaming to get online without visiting a store or buying a local SIM card.

Buying your eSIM online in Ireland lets you save time, avoid language barriers and connect easily across the country, whether you’re in a city, on a road trip or exploring nature.
