Opera offers an eSIM in its Android browser: available in 47 regions, with 3 GB free

Opera has introduced its own eSIMs, allowing users to install them directly through the Opera browser for a data-only service tailored for travelers. Users can access a complimentary 3GB data package valid for three days post-activation in select countries, including the US, UK, Germany, France, Canada, UAE, Brazil, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Poland, without needing to provide payment information or an email address. The eSIM service is built into the Opera browser for Android, requiring a device that supports eSIM hardware and runs on Android 10 or newer. Users can activate the service by navigating to their profile, selecting the eSIM option, and confirming their choice. Once the free package is used, additional data plans of 3GB, 5GB, or 10GB are available. The eSIM can be used across multiple countries, with activation occurring upon arrival in the selected country, although it is not available in Ukraine.
