Exit country published for every destination we sell, from the live catalogue.
Which eSIM plans give you a local IP address
A roaming eSIM usually exits somewhere else. Here is the short list that does not.
- Exit country is published for all 198 destinations, before you pay rather than after.
- Only a handful of destinations reach the internet inside themselves; the live list is on this page.
- A grouped exit label means sometimes local and sometimes not, so it is not a local plan.
- No account, no ID and crypto-only checkout applies to these plans like every other.
- A VPN changes what a site sees, but it cannot turn a foreign exit into a local one.
A travel eSIM roams. Your handset attaches to a local network, but the data session is normally tunnelled back to the sponsoring operator and reaches the public internet there, so a website sees that country rather than the one you are standing in. For most uses it makes no difference. For a bank app, a government portal or a domestic streaming service it can be the difference between working and not.
Because we publish the exit country for every destination, the answer to "which plan gives me a local address" is something we can actually give you rather than something you find out after paying. It is a short list, and the honest version of that list is below.
Why a local exit is rarer than people expect
Roaming agreements are built for connectivity, not for geography. The sponsoring operator hands the session back through its own gateway wherever that sits, which is why a single gateway country can serve dozens of destinations. That architecture is the normal case across the industry, not something particular to one seller.
It also means a plan can be excellent and still be wrong for your use. A fast, cheap plan that exits two countries away is a good buy for maps and messaging and a bad buy for a bank that geolocates its logins.
What to do when no local plan exists
If the destination you need is not on the list, the plan is still a working connection; only the address is foreign. Some services accept that and some do not, and no seller can tell you in advance which of your apps will complain.
A VPN is the layer that changes what a site sees, and it runs over this data plan like any other connection. What it cannot do is give you an address the mobile network never had: the exit is a property of the roaming path, and a VPN replaces it rather than repairing it.
How to check before you buy, and after
Every destination page here shows its exit country before checkout, and the full 198-row table is published on its own page. The same data is available as JSON for anyone who would rather query it than read it.
After installing, any IP lookup site tells you what the world sees. Expect small disagreements: geolocation databases update on their own schedule and can lag what the operator actually does.
Plans that exit inside their own country
3 of the 198 destinations we sell reach the internet inside the destination itself. On every other plan a website sees a different country, which is the normal case for a roaming eSIM and not a fault.
| Destination | Plans |
|---|---|
| Brazil | 6 |
| Israel | 6 |
| United States | 8 |
Partly local: Netherlands. These carry a grouped breakout that includes the destination among others, so a session may or may not come out locally. If you need a local address every time, treat these as not local.
Read from the live catalogue when this page was built. A geolocation database can still disagree with the operator, so a lookup site may show something slightly different.
Questions & answers
Do travel eSIMs give you a local IP address?
Usually not. The data session is tunnelled to the sponsoring operator gateway, so a website sees that country instead. A few destinations do exit inside themselves, and the current list is published on this page from our live catalogue.
Why does my banking app complain about my eSIM?
Most likely because the connection appears to come from another country. That is normal for a roaming profile and not a fault in the plan. Check the exit country on the destination page before buying if a specific app matters to you.
Can a VPN give me a local address instead?
A VPN changes what a website sees, so it can present the country you select. It does not change the exit of the mobile session underneath it, and it is a separate product rather than a fix for the plan.
How current is this list?
It is generated from the live catalogue every time the site is built, and the prose names no country on purpose so it cannot contradict the table. If a plan stops exiting locally, the row disappears rather than becoming wrong.
