Orange eSIM and SIM card for travellers: Holiday, Flex Travel and prepaid in eight countries

An Orange eSIM is easy to get in some of the eight countries we cover and unclear in others. Orange France sells a holiday range with eSIM-only packs, Orange Polska has an app-based travel eSIM with a free card, and Orange Morocco emails its QR code minutes after payment. Orange Belgium's prepaid page doesn't mention eSIM at all.

These are separate national companies sharing a brand. Each has its own site, prices, currency and registration rules, and "Orange Holiday" in France is not the same product as "Holiday" in Spain. Orange Spain now belongs to MasOrange, the company formed by Orange España and MásMóvil, which also owns Yoigo.

Everything below comes from our country pages, which read each Orange site on 8 October 2026. Desk research, not a test.

Orange SIM card and eSIM, country by country

Prices are as read on 8 October 2026. Check Orange's page in each country before you pay.

What is the Orange Holiday eSIM?

It is two products, from two companies.

In France, Orange Holiday Europe is a prepaid range for visitors to France and Europe: six packs, from 1 GB for 7 days up to 500 GB for three months. The two smallest are eSIM only. The 20 GB, 50 GB and 100 GB packs last 31 days, and those four larger packs come as a SIM or an eSIM. From 20 GB upwards you get unlimited calls and texts within Europe, and Orange lists more than 40 European countries as covered. The eSIM is installed from a QR code in the confirmation email and goes live once the phone joins a European network, so you can set it up at home.

What the French page didn't show us was a price for any pack. It also has footnotes that disagree with its own table, a 30 GB figure and a six-month line validity, so read the live page before buying. And the line must be registered in your name within 30 days of arrival or it is suspended; the page's FAQ words this differently, saying you must identify yourself during the validity period.

In Spain, Holiday Maxi is 35 euros per 28 days with unlimited data and 100 national and international minutes, and Orange says it is already available as an eSIM. Holiday Mini is 25 euros for 15 days, also unlimited data. The page doesn't say whether Mini comes as an eSIM.

Is there an Orange travel eSIM?

Three, sort of, and they work differently.

France's travel.orange.com sells the Holiday Europe packs online, eSIM only. Poland's Orange Flex Travel is the most traveller-ready Orange product we read: the eSIM card costs 0 PLN, you buy a pack in the Orange Flex app, packs you don't activate are refunded after 30 days, and support is stated as 24/7 in Polish and English. Morocco's Marhaba page promotes an "eSIM with unlimited internet" from 120 MAD, but gives no data volume, and Orange's Moroccan travel page shows a 40 GB icon beside an ambiguous price badge. Confirm the amount at checkout.

Which Orange eSIM or SIM is the best deal?

For one country, Poland. Five złoty buys 1 GB for 15 days, the card is free and nothing needs a shop. That is the Orange we would pick first, as long as you only need data. One gap: the page names no network and makes no coverage claim.

Spain shows how much the word "Holiday" can cost. Prepago 10 is 10 euros for 80 GB over 28 days, with EU roaming included; Holiday Mini is 25 euros for 15 days. Unlimited data is the difference, and for most trips 80 GB is plenty. The catch is that Orange only says Holiday Maxi comes as an eSIM, so Prepago 10 may mean a physical card.

The cheapest headline is Romania: 6 EUR for unlimited national data at 5G+ speeds for 30 days. But it has no roaming, the SIM's own price isn't on the page, and nothing says how a visitor registers. Slovakia's Prima card is EUR 5, though its 30 GB headline depends on monthly top-ups of at least EUR 7.

For a trip across several European countries, Holiday Europe is the only Orange product here built for that. We just couldn't read what it costs.

Where you need ID, and where the page won't say

Three countries spell it out. Orange Belgium calls identification mandatory, a legal requirement, done when the card arrives, but lists no accepted documents. Orange France gives the 30-day registration deadline. Orange Polska says every prepaid starter must be registered before calls and internet work; its online photo route asks for a Polish ID card, so a visitor with a passport is likelier to end up in a store.

Morocco's checkout asks for "identification details" without naming a document. Egypt is inconsistent: its eSIM FAQ says tourists are eligible, and the same page says foreigners with valid residence can get one in a shop. Romania, Slovakia and Spain say nothing about ID on the pages we read. Carry a passport regardless.

Orange prepaid in other EU countries

Some of these SIMs travel, some don't. Orange Belgium's Tempo works in EU member countries using the card's credit. Orange Spain includes EU roaming in every prepaid plan, without saying how much data you can use abroad. Of each 10 GB bonus on Slovakia's Prima card, 6.25 GB can be used in the EU without a surcharge. Romania's 5 and 6 EUR options have no roaming at all.

If you are an Orange customer at home and plan to roam on your own plan, that's your home company's product. None of our country pages prices it, so ask your own Orange.
