Coverage & network in Monaco
Arriving in Monaco with no data is the expensive way to travel. An eSIM fixes that in about two minutes: install before you fly, turn on data roaming for the travel line after you land.
Plan sizes on this page run from short-stay allowances to remote-work territory. Count 100–200 MB a day for maps and messaging, and 1 GB an hour once video is involved.
Where 5G has been rolled out in Monaco you’ll get it on 5G-marked plans; everywhere else the eSIM runs on 4G/LTE. Both are far more than maps and messaging need. Tethering is allowed on every Monaco plan, so a laptop or a travelling companion can share the connection.
Crossing borders on the same trip? The Europe plan covers much of the region on one profile. Otherwise there are separate plans for Croatia, Cyprus and Czech Republic.
How to install it
- 1
Buy in a minute
Pick a Monaco plan and pay. Your QR code arrives by email within minutes — no account, no shipping.
- 2
Install on Wi-Fi
Scan the code before you fly. The profile sits alongside your normal SIM and stays switched off until you need it.
- 3
Land connected
Turn on data roaming for the TravelNet line when you arrive. The plan starts counting down on that first connection, not at checkout.
Will my phone work?
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone: an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or
newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship. Dial *#06# — if
an EID number is listed alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM.

Monaco eSIM questions
Which network does the Monaco eSIM use?
We don't publish a single operator name for Monaco, because the profile can attach to more than one partner network and picks whichever is strongest where you are. In practice that means you get the best available signal rather than being locked to one operator's weak spots.
Will I get 5G in Monaco?
On plans marked 5G, yes — where the network has deployed it and your phone supports it. Outside those areas the eSIM falls back to 4G/LTE automatically; you won't need to change any setting.
How much data do I actually need for Monaco?
Most travellers over-buy. Maps and messaging for a week is under 2 GB; streaming and video calls are what move the number. Start small and top up if you run short.
When does my Monaco plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Monaco, not when you buy it. Install it at home a day or two before you fly — the validity period on the plan you choose runs from arrival, not from checkout.
Can I use my Monaco eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Tethering is enabled on every Monaco plan, so you can share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or someone travelling with you. Hotspot data comes out of the same allowance.
Can I keep my own phone number while I'm in Monaco?
Yes. Nothing is removed from your phone. The Monaco profile is added as a second line and set as the one used for data, while your usual number keeps receiving calls, texts and bank verification codes. Switch data roaming off on the home line before you fly.
Do I need to register or show a passport to use a Monaco eSIM?
No. The plan roams on partner networks, so there's no local SIM registration, no ID upload and no shop visit. You buy it, scan the QR code, and it works on arrival.
What happens if I run out of data in Monaco?
You can buy another Monaco plan from the same page and install it the same way. Plans marked as top-up capable can also be extended without a new QR code.
I'm also visiting Croatia and Cyprus — do I need separate eSIMs?
Not necessarily. The Europe plan covers much of the region including Monaco on a single profile. If Monaco is the bulk of the trip, a country plan is usually the better buy; if you're crossing several borders, the regional plan wins.
Will my phone work with a Monaco eSIM?
If it's an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship, almost certainly — and it must be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# and look for an EID number: if one is listed, the phone has an eSIM. Our compatibility list has the full set.
