The M50 motorway ring road and all main national routes have continuous 4G. The Wild Atlantic Way has 4G at all major scenic stops — Cliffs of Moher, Loop Head, Slea Head, Malin Head — with occasional 3G in remote headland stretches. The Ring of Kerry main road is 4G-covered; mountain passes thin to 3G. Connemara village roads have 4G at towns; deep bogland between is patchy. DART commuter rail and Dublin Bus stops have 4G throughout. Dublin Airport Terminal 1 and 2 have 5G.

FAQ

Questions about Ireland

Is there 5G in Dublin?

Yes. Dublin city centre, Docklands, and major suburbs have 5G on Three and Vodafone. Expect speeds of 200–700 Mbps in 5G zones. Cork, Limerick, and Galway also have 5G in city centres.

Does this eSIM work along the Wild Atlantic Way?

Yes. All major stops — Cliffs of Moher, Dingle Peninsula, Ring of Kerry, Connemara, Donegal coast — have 4G at the scenic viewpoints and villages. Very remote headland trails may drop to 3G.

Can I use this eSIM for Dublin to Cork road trips?

Yes. The M8 and N20 motorways between Dublin and Cork have continuous 4G throughout. Coverage is solid on all national primary routes.

Does the eSIM work in Northern Ireland?

Northern Ireland is part of the UK, not the Republic of Ireland. This eSIM covers the Republic only. For Northern Ireland you would need a UK eSIM — both can run on a dual-SIM device simultaneously.

What is the plug type in Ireland?

Ireland uses the same Type G plug as the UK (3-pin rectangular). This is different from Continental Europe. US travellers will need an adapter.

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of a physical card, you scan a QR code and your plan installs instantly — no SIM tray needed.

Is my phone eSIM-compatible?

iPhone XS (2018) and newer, most Android flagships from 2020+, and all Samsung Galaxy S21+ devices support eSIM. Check our compatibility page for the full device list.

How do I install the eSIM?

After purchase, we email a QR code. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Scan QR Code. On Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. The whole process takes under 60 seconds.

Can I keep my regular SIM while using this eSIM?

Yes. Most phones support dual SIM (physical + eSIM). Keep your home number for calls and SMS — use Flysimio for data abroad. You control which SIM handles what in your phone Settings.

Does the eSIM include a hotspot (tethering)?

Yes, all Flysimio plans include mobile hotspot at no extra charge. Share your data connection with laptops, tablets, or other devices freely.

What happens when my data runs out?

You can top up data from your account dashboard at any time. Top-ups are applied instantly — no need to buy a new eSIM or wait.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. We offer a full refund within 7 days of purchase. Contact contact@flysimio.com with your order number.

How long is the eSIM valid for?

You have 6 months from your purchase date to activate the eSIM. Once activated, the plan validity period (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) begins counting down.

Will the eSIM work at the airport when I land?

Yes — as long as you installed the eSIM before your flight, it activates automatically when your phone connects to a local network on landing. No Wi-Fi required for activation.

What if the QR code doesn't scan?

If the QR code won't scan, you can enter the activation code manually — we include both in the email. You can also contact our 24/7 support team and we'll resend or manually provision your eSIM.

Best eSIM for travel to Ireland

The best Ireland eSIM combines coast-to-coast coverage, clear pricing, and instant setup. Flysimio runs on Three Ireland, Eir, and Vodafone Ireland — networks that cover Dublin, Cork, and Galway, and reach along most of the 2,500 km Wild Atlantic Way — with 5G in the main cities. Plans are prepaid with no contract and no roaming bill surprises: choose your data, pay once, done. Your QR code arrives by email seconds after checkout and installs in under a minute, every plan includes free mobile hotspot, and a 7-day money-back guarantee has you covered. Land at Dublin already connected and skip the airport SIM counter entirely. Weighing up Vodafone Ireland against a travel eSIM? Our best eSIM for Ireland guide compares them head-to-head.

How to set up an Ireland eSIM (step by step)

Getting online in Ireland takes about two minutes. First, confirm your phone supports eSIM — iPhone XS (2018) and newer and most Android flagships from 2020 qualify. Choose your Ireland plan on Flysimio and pay with card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay; your QR code arrives by email within seconds. On Wi-Fi before you fly, open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM (iPhone) or Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM (Android) and scan it — a manual code is included too. Keep your home line as default until arrival. When you land at Dublin, Cork, or Shannon, your Flysimio line connects automatically to an Irish network — no kiosk, no physical SIM, no queue.

How much data do you need in Ireland?

Most travellers over-buy. For maps, messaging, and email, roughly 300 MB a day is plenty, so a 3–5 GB plan covers a week in Dublin comfortably. Add social media, coastal photos, and music and you'll want about 700 MB a day — a 10 GB plan suits a two-week trip taking in the cities and the Wild Atlantic Way. Heavy streamers, video callers, and anyone tethering a laptop should plan for 1.5 GB or more per day or choose an unlimited daily plan. One note: remote headland stretches of the Atlantic route can drop to 3G, so download offline maps first. Use the calculator above to size it, and top up mid-trip if you run low.

Using an Ireland eSIM on iPhone and Android

Flysimio runs as a second line beside your usual SIM, so you keep your home number for calls and texts while your Irish data flows over the eSIM — standard dual-SIM behaviour on iPhone XS and later and most Android phones from 2018. After installing, set the Flysimio eSIM as your cellular-data line and turn on Data Roaming for that line only; it simply lets the eSIM connect to Irish networks, with no roaming fees. Note that this eSIM covers the Republic of Ireland only — Northern Ireland is part of the UK and needs a UK eSIM (both can run together on a dual-SIM phone). If you're unsure about your model, the compatibility page confirms it before you buy.

Hotspot, calls, and texts on an Ireland data eSIM

Every Flysimio Ireland plan includes mobile hotspot at no extra cost and without throttling, so you can tether a laptop or tablet or share with a travel companion and use your full allowance freely. As a data-only eSIM it has no Irish phone number, but that rarely matters: WhatsApp, FaceTime, Messenger, and Google Meet handle calls and messages over data, and your home number stays reachable on your primary SIM. You keep costs predictable and skip the per-minute charges of traditional roaming.

Short Ireland trips vs. long stays

For a weekend in Dublin or a quick business trip, a small 1–5 GB plan on a 7-day validity is the most economical choice. For a two-week road trip around the Wild Atlantic Way or a longer stay, a 10–20 GB plan or an unlimited daily option lets you navigate, stream, and work without watching a meter. Because Flysimio gives you six months to activate, you can buy before you leave and the validity only starts when your eSIM first connects in Ireland. No contract, nothing to cancel — the plan stops when it's done, and you can top up or rebuy for your next trip.
