Which Cyprus eSIM plan do I need?

Cyprus fits a city break, a work week or a fortnight of touring, so match your plan to your route.

  • A three-day city break in Paphos: 500 MB a day for 3 days covers maps, WhatsApp and the odd Bolt ride.
  • A week in Nicosia for work: 5 GB for 30 days gives you standard use, with social media, music and some video.
  • A fortnight touring Limassol, Ayia Napa and Larnaca: 10 GB for 30 days covers standard use.
  • A week that also takes in other European countries: 2 GB for 15 days suits light use, and the Europe bundle covering 31 countries also covers Cyprus.

Most plans can be topped up, and the longest plan lasts 180 days.

Good to know

  • Data only: your own number keeps working for calls and texts
  • Hotspot works where your phone and the network allow it

  • Your data routes through Belgium, so some sites may show that country
  • Top up the same eSIM any time, no new QR code

Will my eSIM have signal in Cyprus?

Your eSIM joins Epic and Vodafone, with 5G on offer where the networks support it. Your phone picks between them by itself, so you can get on with your day. Towns, resorts and main roads are well covered; signal can drop in the Troodos Mountains, so save your offline maps before you head up.

Your data reaches the internet through Belgium, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. You can read more on the IP address help page. If you pick a daily plan, speeds slow to 512 Kbps once that day's allowance is used up.

Using your phone in Cyprus: data tips

  • Land and switch on: Touch down at Larnaca (LCA) or Paphos (PFO), switch your eSIM line on and check that data roaming is on for it. Your eSIM uses the Epic and Vodafone networks here. Install it on home Wi-Fi before you fly, so setup isn't a job at the arrivals hall.
  • Getting around: Bolt is the ride app to download before you fly. Use your eSIM data to book rides in Paphos, Limassol, Ayia Napa, Larnaca or Nicosia.
  • Staying in touch: WhatsApp is the messaging app to set up before you go. Your home number stays on for calls and texts, and this guide shows how to keep WhatsApp and your home number working together.
  • Near the Green Line: Your phone can switch to networks in the north when you're close to the Green Line. Check your data settings when you cross it.
