It is also possible to get a Kaktus eSIM for the same price as a regular SIM card.
You may want to get a travel eSIM for the Czech Republic, which can be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Kaktus (in some cases).
Especially when getting a Europe-wide eSIM if you do not stay in just the Czech Republic or a global eSIM valid for up to a year if you want one eSIM to work practically worldwide.
My Czech Republic eSIM buying guide analyzes various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.
Here is a quick introduction to them:
- Airalo: O2 (Czech Republic only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + call and text feature) – use code NEWTOAIRALO15 (15% off – first-time users only) or AIRALOESIM10 (10% off)
- Alosim: Czech Republic & Europe (32 countries) – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
- Holafly: Czech Republic & Europe (32 countries) – these eSIMs have unlimited data + calling feature – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
- Nomad: Czech Republic, Europe (up to 35 countries) & Global (up to 139 countries) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)
