This comparison is not confirmed

The June guide lists Japan in ROW Zone 3 with a £8/500MB 24-hour pass, insufficient for 1GB/day. The live public Japan page separately reports no roaming passes available and directs pre-booking to login. Exact eligible replenishment and seven-GB feasibility remain unverified.

Missing information does not mean roaming is free. The dated source table below remains available. Check the exact home plan, allowance, eligibility and current prices with the providers.

BEFORE YOU TRAVEL

Check the setup and the billing triggers

Check the phone

Your exact phone needs eSIM support and the appropriate carrier unlock. The provider must accept the device.

Run the phone check

Read the exact package

Check allowance, validity, activation, hotspot and the final current checkout price.

Compare current packages

Review the home line

Calls, texts and other use can trigger roaming charges under the carrier terms. Disabling data roaming alone does not settle every billing condition.

Read carrier sources

Set the right data line

Follow the travel eSIM's activation and roaming instructions. Check your home line and automatic data switching separately.

Review phone compatibility

Existing consumer postpaid subscription is already held; its domestic monthly charge is excluded. All charged travel days fall within one billing cycle, with no earlier roaming use. Personal terrestrial smartphone data only; calls, texts, aircraft, maritime and satellite use are excluded. Sufficient domestic data remains, within the 50GB monthly roaming fair-use limit. Customer spending controls and roaming bars must permit the selected pass.

Included-plan eligibility: Some older plans include Europe roaming. Current Essentials Unlimited Plus/All Rounder include Europe; Full Works includes Europe and ROW Zone 1. Those entitlements are outside this reference profile.

EE roaming questions

What does the EE comparison include?

This page uses the EE consumer Pay Monthly covered by the 2 June 2026 charges guide, without included roaming; excludes Safer SIM. reference profile, the dated carrier sources and the standard trip shown in the table. It excludes the home-plan subscription. Included-roaming profiles apply only when their verified eligibility matches your plan.

How is the roaming cost multiple calculated?

For the same trip and requested data amount, we divide the carrier roaming cost per requested GB by the eSIM package cost per requested GB. Because both sides use the same denominator, the multiple is also the roaming trip price divided by the eSIM package price. A package may include unused data. We describe caps and conditions separately and do not claim equal performance.

Is roaming ever cheaper than an eSIM?

Yes. An eligible home plan may include roaming, or a carrier add-on may cost less for the selected trip. Those results remain visible. The comparison excludes the home-plan subscription and does not assume every customer qualifies for an included benefit.

Why is a carrier not ranked?

A rank requires current, comparable costs for the complete standard destination basket. Missing eligibility, unavailable source facts, an insufficient data allowance or expired checks leave a carrier unranked. An unknown price is never treated as zero.

Have you physically tested these eSIMs?

This edition compares published carrier tariffs and source-checked retail eSIM packages. It does not use physical activation tests, measured speeds or a reliability score. Prices, coverage, eligibility and checkout terms can change.
