eSIM Travel Tips for Tenerife
South Resorts Have the Densest Coverage
Playa de las Americas, Los Cristianos, and Costa Adeje have the highest antenna density on the island due to the large resort visitor volume. All beach areas, hotels, shopping centres, and waterparks are well covered. A popular winter-sun holiday for Kiwi travellers.
Mount Teide: Download Booking and Maps Before Going Up
Mount Teide National Park has 4G at the visitor centre and the cable car base station. Signal weakens significantly above 2,000 metres on the summit approach. Download your cable car booking confirmation and offline maps before leaving the resort area.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
