Cyprus eSIM with Calls & Phone Number

You get an eSIM for Cyprus by ordering it here on this page, before you fly. Pick a plan, pay by card, and the email arrives within minutes with a link and a QR code. One tap installs the eSIM beside your normal SIM. No counter in the arrivals hall at Larnaca or Paphos, and no airport kiosk opening hours to catch.

Yes, Cyprus does have eSIM, and it works there. Your line travels as a guest on the networks of the Republic of Cyprus and registers by itself once you switch on data roaming after landing. What matters is your handset: it needs a built-in eSIM chip and must not be locked to one operator. Nothing has to be arranged on the island.

An eSIM for Cyprus starts at 28,95€, depending on which pack you take. The plans on this page all run for 30 days and differ in how much data they carry; the prices sit in the table above, shown in your own currency. Calls and texts are included in every one of them, and you pay once before you travel.

An eSIM for Cyprus with calling is a line letting you make calls and send texts from your phone's app, since it carries its own number. On a dual-SIM phone, check which line the call goes out on: pick the Simbye line in the dialler, otherwise the phone quietly places the call over your home SIM and bills it there.

No, you don't get a Cypriot +357 number. The number on this line is French and starts with +33. It is a real number, so people can ring you and text you on it and you can register apps with it. What it cannot do is receive codes that Cypriot banks or local services send only to a +357 number.

On the island, your phone uses whichever network reaches it best, and that flexibility matters more than you'd expect. The line registers as a visitor while the seatbelt sign is still on, with nothing to type in. If reception fails in one village, turn off automatic network selection and pick another operator from the list by hand.

No, and that catches people out in Kyrenia and Famagusta. The island runs two separate mobile systems: your line rides the networks of the Republic of Cyprus, which covers Larnaca, Limassol, Paphos, Ayia Napa, the Troodos roads and southern Nicosia. North of the buffer zone the masts belong to Kuzey Kibris Turkcell and KKTC Telsim, a separate system this plan does not include.

No passport or any registration needed. Shops on the island register a prepaid line to a document, so buying one locally puts your passport on a form. Your eSIM belongs to the order you placed before travelling and joins the local networks as a visiting line, so there is nothing to show anyone and no counter to find.

What you need for Cyprus, data-wise, is roughly 100 MB a day for maps and messaging on a beach week in Ayia Napa or a drive into the Troodos. Uploading photos and stories takes you to 300 to 600 MB a day, and streaming or tethering a laptop runs past 1 GB a day. Every option here starts at 20 GB for 30 days, so even heavy use fits.

The eSIM that's best for Cyprus depends on coverage where you go, how much data you use, how long you stay and whether you need to be called back. This one includes calls, texts and your own number with a +33 dialling code, which is what car hire desks and hosts ring. If you only want data for a few days, a plain data plan for Cyprus is the leaner pick.

Yes. Because you get a real phone number, SMS verification codes arrive directly on your phone — so you can sign up for or verify WhatsApp, Telegram, banking apps and almost any service. No extra app required.

No. This is a real eSIM with a real number that works natively on your phone — calls use your normal dialer and texts land in your phone's Messages app. The Simbye app is optional and only used to manage your plan.

Yes. You can make and receive calls and SMS with your included number — just like a local SIM, with no contract and no roaming bills. International calls are included as a set number of minutes depending on your plan.
