| Data & validity | Fixed total data allowances. Check the amount and the number of days together; data does not reset daily. |

| Your phone | Requires an eSIM-compatible, network-unlocked phone. An eSIM is a virtual SIM card installed through your phone's settings, so check the exact model and regional variant. |

Frequently asked questions.
Answers to common setup and buying questions.
How do I pick the right Luxembourg data plan for my travel dates?
Start with the 1 GB plan valid for 7 days at €0.27 if your trip is mainly maps, WhatsApp and light browsing. For a stopover of 1 day, that plan is the cheapest listed option. There is no separate plan valid for 14 days, but the 3 GB option for 15 days covers a stay of 2 weeks with one extra day at €1.61. The 3 GB choices also run 7 or 30 days, so pick a validity that reaches your last travel day. For a family sharing a single data hotspot, a larger plan like 10 GB for 30 days at €4.93 gives more headroom; streaming YouTube over that hotspot will draw from the same total. The 50 GB allowance spans 180 days but is one fixed total, so it is not a monthly subscription or one month of unlimited data; compare the listed pricing against your actual usage.
What mobile networks does this eSIM connect to in Luxembourg?
Listed networks: Tango Luxembourg, Orange Luxembourg. Connects to 4G/5G where the network offers it. Speeds and signal vary with your phone, location and network conditions.
How can I check if my phone is compatible with this eSIM?
Check that your exact device and regional variant support eSIM and that the phone is network unlocked. On an iPhone running iOS, Settings > General > About shows No SIM Restrictions when unlocked. On Android, confirm eSIM support in the manufacturer's guide; a recent model name alone doesn't prove compatibility, so check the guide for the exact compatible phones.
When should I install the eSIM before going to Luxembourg?
Install over reliable Wi-Fi and keep the supplied instructions. The setup may include a QR code to scan or an app-based flow, and installing the profile is not necessarily the same event as activation. On arrival, enable the travel line and select it for mobile data.
Will I get a local phone number or can I make calls and send SMS?
These are data-only plans with no local phone number, ordinary calls or SMS. Messaging apps like WhatsApp can use the data connection, but bank codes sent by SMS still depend on your regular SIM, carrier and bank.
Can I use my eSIM as a hotspot for a laptop or tablet?
The listed networks support hotspot. Any device you connect draws from the same data allowance. A data hotspot and tethering draw from the same total allowance, so set operating-system downloads, cloud backups and large uploads to Wi-Fi to keep data for travel tasks.
Does the plan work outside Luxembourg or in nearby countries?
The plan is valid in Luxembourg only. Crossing into France, Belgium or Germany means buying separate coverage; an operator with the same brand in a neighbouring country doesn't extend this allowance.
Is the data allowance unlimited or does it refresh each day?
No. Each plan gives the displayed total allowance for its stated validity, shared across all apps and hotspot devices with no daily renewal. Choose a duration that covers the last day you need service.
Can I buy more data or extend the validity of my plan?
Check the options included with your order before buying more. A separate purchase doesn't automatically extend an existing plan or carry over its balance. If you want a no contract option, these prepaid plans do not require a subscription, but top up amounts and payment methods aren't confirmed, so follow the instructions for any new purchase and keep the installed profile unless support advises otherwise.
What should I do if my eSIM shows no internet connection?
Confirm you're in Luxembourg, the travel line is enabled and selected for mobile data, and the plan still has data and validity. Apply the supplied roaming and APN settings to that line only. Try airplane mode briefly or a restart, then move if reception is weak. Keep the eSIM installed while you report your device model, location and order reference.
How do I prevent my home SIM from incurring roaming charges?
Turn off data roaming on your regular SIM and disable automatic mobile-data switching. Use the travel eSIM as the data line and apply any roaming setting only to it. Your home carrier can still charge for calls and texts if that SIM stays enabled.
What is the process for getting help or requesting a refund?
Keep your order reference and setup details ready when you contact support through the channel supplied with your purchase. Read the purchase conditions for refund eligibility, including any activation or usage restrictions. Keep the eSIM installed while a connection problem is investigated.
Using your eSIM in Luxembourg
A Luxembourg eSIM card sized to your trip
A Kirchberg meeting, a walk through the Grund or a day on the Mullerthal trails: one Luxembourg plan covers the mobile internet between them. Hotspot sharing and 4G/5G data are the features to compare, and the eSIM installs digitally on a compatible phone, leaving your physical SIM in place.
For a one day layover, a 2 weeks break or a longer stay, the 1 GB plan valid for 7 days at €0.27 is the cheapest listed option and covers map use plus chat. The 3 GB plans stretch 7, 15 or 30 days, so pick a duration that reaches your last day. A 10 GB plan for 30 days at €4.93 gives you extra room for photo uploads and a data hotspot, and the 50 GB plan is a single allowance spread over 180 days, not a monthly subscription or automatic top up. These fixed prepaid data plans are an affordable way to avoid home roaming, but compare total cost against expected usage and read the purchase terms before you buy. We don't claim one best price or best coverage; the best value depends on your data habits.
Coverage from the city to the forest
Listed networks: Tango Luxembourg, Orange Luxembourg. Connects to 4G/5G where the network offers it. Speeds and signal vary with your phone, location and network conditions. Save Mullerthal trail maps before you leave Wi-Fi: rock formations, valleys and indoor spaces can interrupt reception, and a larger allowance won't improve signal quality.
Keep the day open.Grund, Luxembourg
Luxembourg City: take the tram, then pin your entrance.
Luxembourg Airport has a tram line into the city. After landing, check departures online in the current journey planner and enter your accommodation address instead of assuming the central railway station is your stop. Send your host an arrival message before the final walk.
Buses, trams and second-class trains across Luxembourg are free. Use your data to check departures without buying a domestic ticket; first-class rail and cross-border journeys have their own fares.
For a meeting in Kirchberg or an evening in the Grund during your city vacation, pin the actual entrance and agree a meeting point. Save the return stop too: a view across the valley doesn't show the walking route between its levels.
Save before you goYour accommodation entrance, the nearest tram stop and your return journey to the airport.
Mullerthal: pick a trail before you leave town.
The Mullerthal region mixes long-distance routes with shorter local walks. Check the official trail details to choose a route that fits your time and ability, then note the start point and the stop for your return. Echternach and Berdorf help distinguish the right pin when you share a meeting location.
Download the route and read current trail notices before setting off. A live map helps where there's signal, but it shouldn't be your only copy of directions through woodland and rock passages.
Keep the return departure and any alternative connection on your phone. Leave a full photo backup for Wi-Fi so the allowance stays free for messages and travel changes later in the day.
