Jetpac vs Roamless vs Sim Local vs Amigo eSIM: Which to Buy?

How Do Jetpac, Roamless, Sim Local and Amigo eSIM Differ for France, the UK and Europe?

Jetpac, Roamless, Sim Local and Amigo eSIM all sell France, UK and Europe plans, on different terms. Jetpac sells exact 10 GB, 30-day packs in all three, with no SMS. Roamless adds pay-as-you-go credit and charges in US dollars only. Sim Local's lowest-priced UK plans are partner plans with calls. Amigo eSIM sells UK packages up to 250 GB, but its Europe plan leaves out the UK.

Amigo eSIM is one of the four services compared here and also publishes this comparison. The 15 criteria were fixed before any provider's data was collected, and the figures come from each provider's own plan pages, terms, help center and app listings plus its Trustpilot profile; the full methodology, including when the data was collected, sits at the end of this article.

Jetpac, Roamless, Sim Local and Amigo eSIM Compared on 15 Criteria

The table gives each option's values for France, the UK and its own Europe plan. Its price rows count every one-off package with a fixed data pool on an option's page, partner plans with calls included, and leave out unlimited plans and Roamless's pay-as-you-go credit.

Seven terms are used in the table:

• Entry package: the lowest-priced one-off package with a fixed data pool; unlimited, free and trial plans are excluded.
• 10 GB / 30-day package: exactly 10 GB, valid exactly 30 days. Where an option has none, the cell says so and names the smallest package with at least 10 GB and 30 days, marked "not the same".
• Lowest price per GB: price divided by GB across an option's complete list of one-off packages valid exactly 30 days, unlimited plans and credit excluded, for France and the UK separately; it holds only among the options compared.
• Europe plan and edge markets: each option's own regional plan and its country list, with the UK, Switzerland, Turkey and the six Western Balkans countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia) marked as listed or not.
• Partner plan: a mobile operator's plan sold on the option's page; Sim Local's partner plans are marked "includes calls" in the table. Amigo eSIM's larger packages carry a "Data, Minutes and Texts" label, and the voice row gives what its Terms say.
• Credit: Roamless's pay-as-you-go balance, charged per MB. It is not a package, so it stays out of the price rows.
• Unlimited: a plan sold as unlimited; the cell gives its daily full-speed limit.

Prices appear as each site displayed them; prices shown only with a promo code are left out, and US dollar prices also show an approximate amount in euros, at the reference rate given in the methodology. Jetpac lets you pick EUR as the display currency and does not say whether its prices include tax. Roamless charges in US dollars only, and its Terms say all prices are exclusive of taxes.

Sim Local lets you pick EUR and keeps a separate price for each currency, and its pages do not say whether prices include tax. Amigo eSIM shows EUR by default, and its Terms say prices include VAT and are charged in GBP, EUR or USD.

Among the options compared, the lowest price per GB on 30-day fixed-pool packages in France was Jetpac's €0.7125 and the highest was Amigo eSIM's €1.278, among the euro prices. In the UK, the lowest was Amigo eSIM's €0.115 (200 GB for €23), next to Sim Local's €0.1175 (Three UK 200 GB for €23.50), and the highest among the euro prices was Jetpac's €0.7125. Roamless's prices are in US dollars: USD 0.699 (about €0.63) in France and USD 0.779 (about €0.70) in the UK.

The UK figures come from 200 GB packages, while Jetpac's and Roamless's largest 30-day packages were 40 GB and 50 GB. A 15-day France plan outside this definition is noted under Sim Local.

Jetpac

All 63 catalog items on Jetpac's France, UK and Europe pages were prepaid packs with a stated amount of data or "Unlimited" and a validity in days, used on one reusable eSIM. There is no credit balance: after a trip you keep the Jetpac eSIM and later buy the next pack onto it, without downloading another eSIM.

Jetpac: pricing and data plans

Jetpac listed an exact 10 GB, 30-day pack in all three places: €13.5 for France, €16.5 for the UK and €21 for its Europe plan. Its unlimited packs are not unlimited at full speed: each gives 3 GB in 24 hours, then up to 1 Mbps until the next 24-hour cycle.

Outside these lists, Jetpac sells two subscriptions: JetFlex, a monthly data allowance with a 3-month minimum, automatic renewal and no rollover, and JetPro, monthly global data plus Lounge Access passes.

Packs from 3 GB up to 15 GB add free WhatsApp, Uber, Grab and Google Maps once the data runs out. Jetpac's Eterna offer gives 100 MB free on up to four trips a year, two months apart, to customers in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Germany and Singapore, once no Jetpac pack is active.

Jetpac: coverage and network

Jetpac's Europe plan listed 32 countries, including the UK and Switzerland but not Turkey or any of the six Western Balkans countries. Jetpac's France and UK plan pages each cover only that country and name one or two networks.

• Europe plan: 32 countries, with the UK on 3 and Everything Everywhere and Switzerland on Salt and Sunrise.
• France plan page: one network listed, Orange F; Jetpac's Help Center table lists Free, Bouygues Telecom and Orange F, each with 5G.
• UK plan page: two networks listed, 3 and Everything Everywhere; the Help Center table lists Everything Everywhere, 3 and O2, each without 5G.
• Technology: the plan pages state a 4G/5G connection with multi-network support, and the eSIM connects automatically to the strongest available network.

Jetpac: voice, texts and hotspot

Jetpac's data packs carry no SMS; calls come from separate in-app voice packs, from €2 for 5 minutes, with a temporary number. The voice packs make outgoing calls only, from the Jetpac app.

• Texts: "Data roaming only, no SMS," the France, UK and Europe plan pages say.
• Voice packs: 5 minutes for €2, 15 minutes for €5 and 30 minutes for €9.5, each valid 30 days and usable without a data pack; France and the UK are on the voice country list, and Jetpac's app page describes the calls as reaching "local landlines".
• Hotspot: allowed with "no data limits, no restrictions", and the plan-page FAQ says tethering has no data cap.

Jetpac: activation, top-up and refunds

A Jetpac pack's validity starts when the eSIM is activated or connects to a local network, and an unactivated pack stays in the account for 3 months from purchase. The condition on Jetpac refunds is set out under its limitations below.

Jetpac: support, ratings and limitations

• Support: WhatsApp, "Available 24x7", and email, with a reply "within 24 hours".
• Rating: Trustpilot showed 4.7 from 3,544 reviews.
• Use: the "Fair Usage Policy" section of the Terms bans conduct such as spam, bots and relaying material and lets Jetpac suspend or end the service; it sets no data limit.

Jetpac's Terms say an installed eSIM counts as used and is not refunded ("Once you have installed the eSIM, it will be considered used and no refunds will be offered"), and Jetpac advises installing it when you buy. Jetpac publishes two refund documents, and only one of them, Jetpac's terms on installed eSIMs and the Moneyback Guarantee, contains the guarantee:

With Jetpac, plan as if the refund right ends at installation: the Moneyback Guarantee appears in only one of its two refund documents.

Roamless

Roamless sells two things on one eSIM: 30-day data plans for a country or region, and pay-as-you-go credit charged per MB, at USD 1.95 (about €1.74) per GB in France and the UK. Credit works in any covered destination, a plan only in its own country or region, and every Roamless price is in US dollars.

Roamless: pricing and data plans

On Roamless's France and UK pages, exactly 10 GB cost USD 16.95 (about €15) and USD 18.95 (about €17) as a 30-day plan, or USD 19.50 (about €17) as pay-as-you-go credit at USD 1.95 (about €1.74) per GB. Roamless offers no unlimited plan, and a plan's 30 days start with the first KB used in its country, not at purchase.

Roamless names the plans Roamless FIX and the credit Roamless FLEX. Because the credit is not a package, the two sit side by side here only for exactly 10 GB:

Credit has a USD 1 (about €0.89) minimum, its price grows in a straight line with the GB, and it cannot pay for a plan, which is paid separately by card. A Roamless Help Center example quotes USD 2.45 (about €2.19) per GB for the UK, while the UK page and its calculator showed USD 1.95 (about €1.74). How long unused credit lasts is set out under Roamless's limitations below. New users get USD 1.25 (about €1.12) of credit, up to 500 MB free, on the France and UK pages, once per account or device.

Roamless: coverage and network

Roamless's Europe plan listed 40 countries and territories, including the UK, Switzerland and Türkiye, but not Kosovo or Serbia. Its Europe page names no networks, only the technologies 5G, LTE and 4G.

• Europe plan: Roamless's Europe plan country list has 40 entries, among them Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia.
• France page: plans "Valid only in France", on Bouygues Telecom, Free Mobile and SFR.
• UK page: plans "Valid only in United Kingdom", on Vodafone, O2 and Three UK.
• Network choice: automatic, to the strongest signal, with manual selection where Roamless has more than one network; 5G depends on the selected network's coverage.

Roamless: voice, texts and hotspot

Roamless's eSIM has no phone number; a Roamless Number costs USD 6.95 (about €6.22) a month and was offered for the UK but not for France. Calls run through the Roamless app and need credit, since data plans cannot pay for them.

• Data only: no number is assigned to the eSIM, and data plans are "Data only".
• In-app calls: from USD 0.01 a minute, paid from credit; the rate depends on the number dialed, and calls need the app and an internet connection.
• Roamless Numbers: USD 6.95 (about €6.22) a month or USD 59.95 (about €54) a year, in 4 countries (Australia, the UK, Canada and the US); incoming calls and SMS are free, outgoing calls and SMS use credit.
• Hotspot: "Unlimited" with "Speed limit: Never", and no cap on hotspot data while there is a balance, a plan or rewards on the account.

Roamless: activation, top-up and refunds

Roamless's Terms say all transactions are final; its Help Center allows a refund only when the phone does not support eSIM or is carrier-locked. The eSIM is installed through the Roamless app, and one account holds one eSIM.

Roamless: support, ratings and limitations

• Support: a chat icon where a "Smart Bot" answers first and a team member on request, and email at support@roamless.com.
• Rating: Trustpilot showed 4.5 from 1,762 reviews; because the app is needed to activate the eSIM, its App Store rating (UK storefront) was 4.8 from 3,125 ratings and its Google Play rating 4.7 from 3.52K reviews.
• Use: the Terms allow use of the Services "for your personal purposes", the app license rules out use "for any revenue-generating endeavor, commercial enterprise", and orders that appear to come from resellers can be limited or refused.

Roamless's pages say its credits never expire, while its Terms say credits become inactive after 12 months of inactivity and may be canceled without a refund. Three Roamless sources describe how long credit lasts, and Roamless's terms on inactive credits set the only limit:

With Roamless, plan as if the Terms apply: a balance left unused for 12 months can be canceled without a refund.

Sim Local

Of the 13 plans on Sim Local's UK page, 1 was Sim Local's own data-only plan and 12 were partner plans with calls and texts from Three UK, EE UK and Lycamobile. On the France and Europe pages, Sim Local's own data-only plans made up 9 of 14 and 15 of 20, so each page mixes Sim Local's own plans with mobile operators' plans.

Sim Local: pricing and data plans

Sim Local sold an exact 10 GB, 30-day plan for France at €13.25 and for its Europe plan at €25.25, but none for the UK. Its only own UK plan was 20 GB for 30 days at €24.75, while its partner plans with calls started at €11.75 for 20 GB.

Sim Local's own unlimited plans give 5 GB a day at full speed (Unlimited Pro: 10 GB), then up to 1 Mbps until the next daily reset; the UK page has no own unlimited plan, only Three UK and EE UK unlimited partner plans from €41.00 for 30 days. How the daily limit is stated is set out under Sim Local's limitations below.

One France plan sits outside the 30-day definition: Lycamobile FR 200 GB for 15 days at €20.00, with calls and texts, works out to €0.10 per GB, below the €0.8625 per GB of the 20 GB, 30-day plan, but it lasts 15 days, not 30.

Sim Local: coverage and network

Both of Sim Local's Europe plan families listed the UK and Switzerland, and neither listed Turkey or the Western Balkans. Its Three UK and Lycamobile UK partner plans also carry roaming data, but only up to a set amount in named countries.

• Sim Local Europe plans: 36 entries, one of them named "Europe"; per the plan data, they switch networks "as you cross borders", with a 5G label.
• Orange plans on the Europe page: 45 entries (44 on the 20 GB plan), on Orange with a 4G label.
• UK partner plans abroad: the Three UK 20 GB plan text gives "Up to 6 GB in" a list that includes France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland, and the Lycamobile UK plans "Up to 12 GB in" 30 named European countries.
• France and UK networks: per the plan data, own plans run on Free Mobile in France (4G) and on "O2 (UK), 3, EE" in the UK (4G / 5G); partner plans run on Orange and Lycamobile in France and on Three UK, EE UK and Lycamobile in the UK.

Sim Local: voice, texts and hotspot

Sim Local's own plans were data-only, while its cheapest UK partner plans with a local number, unlimited local minutes and SMS cost €11.75 for 20 GB. The plan text of its own plans reads "Local phone number: No" and "Calls & texts: VoIP only (WhatsApp, Skype, FaceTime, etc.)".

Hotspot and tethering read "Yes" in the plan text of every Sim Local plan and "Yes" or "Included" on all 22 partner plans; on Unlimited plans, hotspot works within the daily high-speed allowance.

Sim Local: activation, top-up and refunds

Sim Local refunds an eSIM in full within 14 days of purchase if it has not been activated; once activated, it counts as used. Some partner plans start before you land: EE UK and Lycamobile UK plans activate as soon as they are installed.

Sim Local: support, ratings and limitations

• Support: online chat and WhatsApp under "Contact Us 24/7", email and a ticket form, with no phone number; the languages of chat and email replies are not stated.
• Rating: Trustpilot showed 4.4 from 3,037 reviews, on a profile that also covers Sim Local's airport stores and vending machines.
• Use: the Terms bar use "for any illegal or unauthorized purpose" and reselling the service without written permission, and the Fair Usage Policy says unlimited plans are "intended for personal travel usage" and not for "commercial usage".

Sim Local's Fair Usage Policy gives Unlimited plans 5 GB a day at full speed, while its Unlimited Data Guarantee page speaks of a 10 GB daily cap. Three Sim Local sources state the daily limit, and Sim Local's fair usage policy for unlimited plans matches the plan cards:

With Sim Local, plan on 5 GB a day at full speed on an Unlimited plan: the allowance resets 24 hours after first use, and slower speeds under fair usage management do not qualify for refunds.

Amigo eSIM

We sell eSIM profiles and mobile data services as fixed packages with a set amount of data and days: five each on our France and Europe pages and eight on our UK page. For how our packages compare with Airalo, Holafly, Saily and Nomad, see our five-way comparison of Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad and Amigo eSIM.

Amigo eSIM: pricing and data plans

Our France and Europe lists have the same five packages, and none of our three lists has an exact 10 GB, 30-day package; the nearest, 12 GB in France and Europe and 40 GB in the UK, are not the same.

Packages from 6 GB carry the "Data, Minutes and Texts" label, set out under our limitations below. UnlimitedGB, on our UK page only, shows no daily or fair-use figure.

Amigo eSIM: coverage and network

Our Europe plan lists 44 countries and territories, including France and Switzerland but not the UK, Turkey or the Western Balkans. For the UK plus the continent, our UK page has O2 packages marked "United Kingdom + Europe", which must be activated in the UK first and show no country list.

• Other UK packages: the Three packages and the 1 GB package cover the UK only; our separate World plan lists the UK and Turkey.
• Networks: Orange F and Free or Three in France; Vodafone and Everything Everywhere, O2 or Three in the UK; up to 5G, with the network chosen automatically.
• Speed: our Fair Use Policy allows traffic shaping or throttling "at specific times of day and/or in specific locations".

Amigo eSIM: voice, texts and hotspot

Our 1 GB packages are labelled Data Only; our larger packages carry a "Data, Minutes and Texts" label and a UK (+44) number. Our Terms on calls are set out under our limitations below.

• Details windows: "Calls: Unlimited" and "Texts: Unlimited" on Three packages; the O2 UK packages show unlimited UK minutes plus 50 international minutes to 42 countries (250 GB: 250 minutes).
• Number: our Terms give no right to it, and it "may be withdrawn or updated without notice".
• Hotspot: "Unlimited" without a figure; our Terms say tethering "may be restricted by the Fair Use Policy".

Amigo eSIM: activation, top-up and refunds

Our plans start on installation and connection at your destination. Our Terms say refunds are only considered within 30 days of purchase and require a valid reason.

Amigo eSIM: support, ratings and limitations

• Support: email and a contact form, with no chat, phone or messaging channel; our plan pages say "Always on support" and our app store listings "24/7 Support", but our contact page, FAQ and Terms give no hours or response time, and none of them or the app listings states support languages.
• Rating: Trustpilot showed 4.2 from 88 reviews.
• Use: our Fair Use Policy says "You must not use our services or eSIM profiles for business purposes", with "further charges" or disconnection as possible consequences.

Our Terms & Conditions say our services do not allow you to make calls or access emergency services, subject to partner networks' terms, although every package from 6 GB in France and Europe and from 40 GB in the UK carries a minutes-and-texts label:

Plan our packages from 6 GB as data only, with calls through apps.

Which to Buy for Six Common Trips: Jetpac, Roamless, Sim Local or Amigo eSIM

Each row names the option whose published terms fit that trip, the figure behind the pick and one thing to check before paying; where more than one option fits, each is named.

How We Compared Jetpac, Roamless, Sim Local and Amigo eSIM

The comparison serves one reader goal: knowing, before paying, which option's published terms fit a France, UK or Europe trip, in what currency and pricing model it charges, whether a package is a partner plan with calls, and what ends the right to a refund. The 15 criteria were fixed before any provider's data was collected, from the axes that recur in reviews and comparisons of these brands and from travelers' questions.
