All guides
8 guides on staying connected while you move — grouped by what you're actually trying to solve. Every plan, price and coverage claim is checked against the provider's own source and dated; see the methodology.
Complete connectivity stacks
Everything that keeps you online for one kind of trip — the layers, in the order you actually buy them.
Starlink Roam vs a travel eSIM: which do you actually need? →
They're not competitors, they're layers — and most European travel needs only the cheap one. An honest decision table. Campervan internet across Europe →
EU roaming vs travel eSIM, a 4G/5G router, Starlink Roam for off-grid gaps (with the new July 2026 rules), and the power to run it all. Boat internet for a sailing trip or ocean crossing →
The full connectivity stack: eSIM near shore, Starlink Roam & Global Priority offshore, and satellite messengers for blue-water safety.
Travel eSIMs
The cheap inner layer: data on your phone, anywhere the towers reach.
Long stays: the Schengen 90-day rule & your eSIM →
The 90/180 rule is now enforced biometrically since EES went live in April 2026 — what that means, and how to keep data running for a full season. Best eSIM for a Europe trip →
An honest comparison of Breeze, Airalo, Holafly, Saily and Ubigi — coverage, data, hotspot and who's behind each.
Satellite
Starlink and satellite-to-phone — for everywhere the towers don't reach.
Starlink Roam in Europe: plans & the 30-day rule →
Which Roam plan works for European travel, why Europe counts as one region (and who's left out), pausing, and the in-motion catch. Satellite-to-phone in Europe: rollout tracker →
Who can actually text or get data from a satellite on an ordinary phone — live markets, pilots, and the EU spectrum decision that gates it. Updated as it moves.
Power & gear
The unglamorous half: what actually runs your kit off-grid.
