Wise eSIM Review (2026)
A travel eSIM paid from the money you already hold with Wise.
Summary
Travel eSIM inside the Wise account, powered by Gigs; covers 150+ destinations with a full refund within 12 months if no data is used. Pre-set country and regional packs, custom data-and-days plans in 20 top destinations, and 20GB, 50GB or 100GB global plans valid for 12 months; paid from your Wise balance, prices shown only to Wise customers.
Sherpa Verdict
You already hold money with Wise and want your data paid from the same balance you spend abroad. You can buy well ahead of the trip: the plan only starts counting down when you connect at your destination, and an unused plan is fully refundable for 12 months.
Pros
- • Paid from your Wise balance, no new account or card to set up
- • Full refund within 12 months of purchase if you have not used any data
- • Custom data and day amounts in 20 top destinations, plus 12-month global plans
Cons
- • Only for Wise customers in supported countries (UK, EEA, US, Canada, Australia and a few more)
- • One eSIM per Wise account, and no single-country plan for your home country
- • Prices are not public, so you cannot compare before logging in
