|---|---|---|---|
| Holafly | 5 days | $19.00 | $3.80 |
| Holafly | 10 days | $34.00 | $3.40 |

How to choose an eSIM for Ireland
- Light use (maps, chat, email): a 1–3 GB plan is plenty for a short trip.
- Normal use (some browsing + a little video): 5 GB usually covers a week or two.
- Heavy use (streaming, hotspot/tethering): 10–20 GB, or an unlimited plan if you genuinely use a lot.
- Best value: the lowest
$/GBalmost always means buying a slightly larger plan, not the smallest.
