Travel & Tourism Data SIM Cards
Multi-network data SIMs for tour operators, campsites, attractions and rental fleets — kit that works five months a year, in several countries, and must not need a contract for the other seven.
Seasonal, mobile, and rarely where the signal is good
Tourism puts equipment in the places people go on holiday: a cliff path, a lakeside pitch, a mountain station, a beach club. Those are not the places networks compete hardest, and the kit often crosses a border on the way there.
Up to four networks, one SIM
In the UK, France and Spain a Wave SIM reaches four operators. In Germany, Italy and Ireland, three. One plan type covers a tour that crosses three countries rather than three local arrangements.
Built for a season, not a year
30-day plans bought outright, with no monthly tie and no minimum fleet size. Run a terminal for the summer and stop, without explaining yourself to anyone.
Profile changes without the kit in hand
On hardware that supports remote provisioning we load or switch the network profile for you from our side — handy when the unit is on a site four hundred miles away. It depends on the device, so ask.
What a single network costs you
In tourism the failure always lands in high season, in front of paying guests.
Everyone arrives at once
The cell serving a resort, a festival or a coastal village in August is carrying ten times its winter load. Your card terminal is competing with every visitor's phone, and a single-network SIM has nowhere to move.
Borders mid-itinerary
A coach tour or rental fleet that crosses into a second country shouldn't need a second SIM, a second supplier and a second invoice. Sourcing locally in each country is where the admin cost hides.
Paying all winter for nothing
A seasonal site on an annual contract spends half the year funding equipment nobody is using. That is not a coverage problem, but it is the one that quietly costs the most.
What you'll be connecting
Mostly payments, access and guest-facing kit — light individually, numerous in aggregate.
What a season actually uses
Two very different shapes: small devices that run all season, and guest WiFi, which is in a league of its own.
A terminal or tracker
Roughly 10–40 MB a month. A 1 GB / 1 month plan covers a whole season on one device with room to spare.
Ticketing or signage
Roughly 0.1–0.5 GB a month once images, price updates and reporting are included.
Guest WiFi
The outlier: 20–100 GB a month in season, because guests stream. Pooled data has no cap and is the sane way to carry it.
For a seasonal site, buying 30-day plans for the months you actually trade usually beats an annual plan, even at a higher monthly rate — you are paying for five months instead of twelve. For a tour operator running year-round across several countries, the 12-month plans are the cheaper route.
These are indicative figures, not measurements of your site. Tell us what you run and for how many months and we will work out which way round is cheaper before you buy.
Plans for operators and seasonal sites
Prices shown in your own currency. The 1 GB / 1 month plan is the one most seasonal operators start with; the 12-month plans suit year-round kit. Guest WiFi is a pooled conversation.

Common questions
Can we run plans only for the season?
Yes, and it is usually the cheaper answer. 30-day plans are bought outright with nothing to cancel, so you buy five months and stop. There is no minimum term, no notice period and no reconnection fee when you start again next spring.
Will one plan cover a tour across several countries?
Within the region you buy, yes — that is the main reason operators consolidate onto one plan type instead of sourcing locally in each country. The exact country list is on each plan's product page, so check it against your itinerary before committing a fleet.
Is this suitable for guest WiFi at a campsite?
It can carry it, but size it honestly: guests stream, and a busy site can run 20–100 GB a month in season. That belongs on pooled data, which has no cap, rather than a prepaid plan. Throttling video is the single biggest lever if you want to keep it predictable.
Does the APN change when the SIM switches network?
No. The APN is set once in the device and stays put through reselection, so the same configuration works in every country your kit travels to and whichever operator it attaches to on arrival.
What if we use more than the plan in peak weeks?
Nothing auto-bills at a surprise rate. Refills on a prepaid plan go up to 100 GB, so a busy August is a top-up rather than a migration, and the portal can notify you before a plan runs out rather than after. Across several sites, pooled data has no cap and is quoted.
