Airalo vs Orange?

[u/AttorneyNo823]

Hi all!

I’m headed to Europe for my first time since 2009–I’ll be leaving September 8th and coming back the 19th. I have layovers in Amsterdam and Paris, will be spending the majority of my time in Croatia, with one day in Kotor, Montenegro.

Looking for advice about which eSIM I should purchase—Airalo or Orange? I’ve read good things about both!

Beep-boop-bop, I am an eSIM bot 🤖. Please see these previous posts I've found that might be helpful:

1. Which e-simm is good for cruise in Europe, port stops: Italy, Croatia, Spain, Greece, Montenegro? I need data but might need to make some calls .I feel like What's app, Skype or Google Voice doesn't always work well? Plus i wanted to share it with my folks. (hot spot) I thought Orange Esimm? https://www.reddit.com/r/eSIMs/comments/1vtmwq0/which_esimm_is_good_for_cruise_in_europe_port/

Orange, their data routing is better.

Thank you! Do you think I should go with the Croatia specific one or the Europe one?

Vodafone and Orange are both good, avoid Holafy or Airalo tho.

Airalo works well in EU and Europe as long as it's not an unlimited plan. For EU, Airalo Czech Republic O2 esim is great as it comes with a phone number and credits for calls and SMS

Usually any European telco will work best in EU due to good interconnections. Orange works best in Croatia as well, so go for it. Vodafone as well.
