# eSIM Grab > eSIM Grab compares travel eSIM plans using provider catalog quotes. Use live tools for prices; do not quote cached examples as current offers. ## Live comparison - [Destination directory](https://esimgrab.com/destinations.md): Country and major-city comparison pages in every supported language. Pages include data-and-duration minimums, such as /country/japan/10gb-7days.md and /city/japan/kyoto/5gb-3days.md. Exact ship pages are linked from /region/cruise.md. Empty comparisons return 404; city pages use country coverage, not independently measured city signals. - [MCP server documentation](https://esimgrab.com/developers/mcp.md): Version 0.9.1 beta. Detailed setup, current-price tools, single-destination and multi-country examples, continuation cursors and request limits. Human-readable version: https://esimgrab.com/developers/mcp. - [MCP integration](https://esimgrab.com/ai/connect.md): Connect ChatGPT, Claude or another MCP client to https://esimgrab.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, read-only, no account required). Use compare_trip for current multi-country options; historical data is proprietary and unavailable. - [ChatGPT setup](https://esimgrab.com/chatgpt.md): Install [eSIM Grab from the Plugins Directory](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6adfbb8be15c8191980b25806fca6e13) on web or desktop, then select @eSIM Grab in a new chat. Use the plugin on supported phones with the same account and workspace. The guide includes optional manual MCP and local Codex setup and is available in all supported site languages, for example /zh-tw/chatgpt.md. - [Gemini setup](https://esimgrab.com/gemini.md): Custom apps require web setup, US adults, a personal Google Account, English and Keep Activity enabled. Mobile use is documented by Google; this server's Gemini connection has not been verified. Guides are translated into all supported site languages. - [Claude setup](https://esimgrab.com/claude.md): Connect on web or desktop, then use normal iOS/Android chat. Mobile installation is beta; Research started on mobile skips connectors. Includes optional Claude Code setup. Available in all supported site languages, for example /fr/claude.md. - [Grok setup](https://esimgrab.com/grok.md): Configure a custom MCP connector. Grok documents web, iOS and Android support; managed teams may need an administrator. Guides are translated into all supported site languages. - [Comparison methodology](https://esimgrab.com/ai/methodology.md): Native prices, conversions, multi-country coverage/allowance/validity checks, limitations and affiliate disclosure. - [Japan comparison](https://esimgrab.com/country/japan.md): Example destination, with the same content as the public HTML page. - [Europe comparison](https://esimgrab.com/region/europe.md): A regional category; verify individual plan coverage. - [Promo codes](https://esimgrab.com/promo-codes.md): Public codes and eligibility conditions. - [Multi-country trip planner](https://esimgrab.com/trip-planner.md): Enter countries in travel order and days in each to compare one trip-wide plan with separate country plans and regional/local combinations. Recommendations use verified coverage, shared versus daily allowances, validity across travel gaps, and comparable totals in the selected currency. Personalized results are generated in the interactive tool; do not invent prices from its static guidance. ## Navigation - [Fix the iMessage sender while using a travel eSIM](https://esimgrab.com/blog/imessage-travel-esim-phone-number.md): Check Send & Receive, start a new conversation from your number, and separate travel data from phone-number activation and carrier SMS. - [Personal, work and travel eSIM arrangements](https://esimgrab.com/blog/personal-work-travel-esim.md): For phones limited to two active lines, compare existing roaming, a separate hotspot device and acceptable temporary line disabling. Includes a service-requirements matrix and travel connection record. - [Restore mobile data after returning home](https://esimgrab.com/blog/iphone-mobile-data-after-travel.md): Check the selected iPhone data line, distinguish cellular eSIMs from APN configuration profiles, and follow the home carrier’s documented restoration instructions. Includes a decision sequence and support worksheet. - [Check bank-app verification abroad](https://esimgrab.com/blog/bank-app-verification-abroad.md): Distinguish incoming codes from outgoing verification SMS, the bank-registered number, and named-provider device or SIM-change restrictions. Includes a private preflight and official-support worksheet. - [Check whether your eSIM lasts until the flight home](https://esimgrab.com/blog/esim-expiry-time.md): A worked late-arrival example separates calendar-day expiry, elapsed hours, activation deadlines and daily resets. Includes a departure-day timing worksheet. - [Recover a deleted travel eSIM](https://esimgrab.com/blog/deleted-travel-esim.md): Purchase-specific Airalo and Nomad recovery checks, a support note, and temporary-data decisions. Recovery is not guaranteed; same-device reinstall does not establish transfer permission. - [Home](https://esimgrab.com/index.md) - [Sitemap](https://esimgrab.com/sitemap.xml): Canonical pages and available languages. - [Europe eSIM or existing roaming](https://esimgrab.com/blog/europe-esim-or-roaming.md): Audit the home allowance, find missing itinerary coverage, and compare an extra package with a whole-trip eSIM. Worked examples are hypothetical budgets, not live prices. - [Remote-work eSIM guide](https://esimgrab.com/blog/esim-for-remote-work.md): Hotspot permissions, video-call data calculations, and a real-connection test checklist. - [How to compare](https://esimgrab.com/blog/how-to-find-the-best-esim-deal.md) - [Privacy](https://esimgrab.com/privacy.md) - [Terms](https://esimgrab.com/terms.md) ## Reading pages Append .md to public page paths; use /index.md for /. Localized examples: /fr/country/japan.md and /zh-tw/promo-codes.md. Query parameters, including page and currency, are preserved. Only public marketing pages have Markdown representations. Prices are paginated, not a complete catalog dump. Use the MCP tools for structured current quotes and complete multi-country options. The version resource esimgrab://version describes the beta release and current-catalog scope. ## Interpretation Native quotes are provider prices; converted prices are estimates. Cite the source and source sync timestamp. Unlimited plans can have daily limits or throttling. Pay-as-you-go credit is not a fixed bundle. Missing feature information must not become a positive claim. Preserve the verified checkout link and its attribution parameters. Check promotion eligibility; do not subtract a discount twice. Historical observations, summaries, trends and exports are proprietary and retained for internal research; do not invent them from current quotes. eSIM Grab may earn a commission at no extra cost to the traveler.
