60GB Data for €12 Across the EU – Affordable for Slovaks & Travelers
A new mobile data offer provides 60 GB of data for 12 euros for use across the European Union, according to reporting by Živé.sk. The plan is available to Slovak residents and travelers, offering a low-cost alternative to traditional roaming packages through a prepaid eSIM.
The offer, reported on June 18, 2026, allows users to access a high volume of data at a fixed price of 12 euros. This pricing brings the cost of data down to 0.20 euros per gigabyte for the duration of the plan.
How does the 12-euro EU data plan work?
The service is delivered via an eSIM, which is a digital SIM that allows users to activate a cellular plan without a physical card. According to Živé.sk, this allows for rapid deployment, making it a viable option for Slovak users traveling abroad or those seeking a secondary data line for EU-wide use.
The plan operates on a prepaid basis. Users pay the 12-euro fee upfront to receive the 60 GB allotment. This eliminates the need for long-term contracts or monthly subscriptions, which typically characterize traditional mobile carrier agreements in the Slovak market.
Because the plan is valid across the entire European Union, it functions as a unified data pool. Users do not need to switch plans or pay additional surcharges when crossing borders between EU member states.
Who can access this offer?
The offer is open to Slovak citizens and any individuals currently located in Slovakia who require data for travel within the EU. It is also positioned as a solution for tourists visiting Slovakia who intend to travel to other European countries.
To use the service, a customer’s device must support eSIM technology. Most modern smartphones released within the last four years include this capability. Once the device is verified, the plan can be activated digitally.
How does this compare to standard EU roaming?
This offer differs from the European Union’s “Roam Like At Home” (RLAH) regulations. While RLAH allows users to use their domestic plan in other EU countries, operators often impose “fair use” limits. These limits can restrict the amount of data a user can roam with before facing throttled speeds or additional charges.
According to data trends reported by Živé.sk, a 60 GB allotment for 12 euros significantly exceeds the fair use thresholds often found in entry-level Slovak mobile contracts. Many standard prepaid roaming “top-ups” in Slovakia cost between 5 and 10 euros for significantly smaller data packages, often ranging from 1 GB to 5 GB.
By providing a dedicated 60 GB pool, this plan removes the uncertainty associated with fair use policies. It provides a predictable cost structure for high-data users, such as those using mobile hotspots or streaming video during travel.
What is the business impact on the telecom market?
The availability of such high-volume, low-cost data plans increases pressure on traditional Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) in Slovakia. MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) and eSIM providers can operate with lower overhead than traditional carriers who maintain physical infrastructure.
This pricing model targets a specific market gap: the “heavy data traveler.” While RLAH covers basic needs, users who exceed their domestic limits often face steep overage charges. A 0.20 euro per GB price point forces traditional providers to reconsider the pricing of their roaming add-ons to remain competitive.
The shift toward eSIMs also reduces the friction of switching providers. Customers no longer need to visit a physical store or wait for a SIM card to arrive by mail, allowing them to switch to a cheaper data provider minutes before a trip.
