European IoT Connectivity and M2M SIM Providers

An IoT SIM provider sits between every deployed device and the cellular networks, so it sees where your meters, trackers and terminals are and how much they talk. These European providers sell M2M SIMs, data plans and connectivity management portals from contracting entities in the EU, the UK and Israel, which keeps device metadata under European law and a European contract.

How we rank these tools — 4-step process
  1. 1
    European ownership, verified

    The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA, the UK, Switzerland or Israel, and processes customer data in Europe or Israel. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.

  2. 2
    Category fit and hands-on review

    What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.

  3. 3
    Compliance and pricing check

    GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.

  4. 4
    Position on this page

    Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect the order tools appear in. It never buys a listing: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.

Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Vendors can pay for more visibility, higher up on the review pages; it never affects whether a tool is listed. Editorial policy

Every European IoT connectivity and M2M SIM provider reviewed

#1 Onomondo

Copenhagen, Denmark Sandbox with up to 100 free SIMs and a EUR 50 monthly data credit; paid plans from EUR 0.0025 per MB; 30-day free trial with 5 SIMs and 50 MB (checked 31 October 2026) Demo on request

Best for: Engineering teams that want per-device network diagnostics and control over which networks a SIM may use

  • Operating company. Onomondo ApS
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Denmark)
  • Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages reviewed; privacy policy says personal data does not leave the EEA without a legal basis
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. KORE Wireless, Twilio Super SIM, Hologram

Onomondo describes itself as infrastructure rather than reselling: it says it built and runs its own core network and integrates 680+ networks in 180+ countries into it. A SIM can be plastic, an MFF2 chip or a software-only SoftSIM, and the portal exposes live network logs, a per-device traffic monitor and a list of networks each SIM may attach to. For an engineer chasing a device that drops off in one market, that visibility is the product.

The company is Onomondo ApS of Copenhagen, and its privacy policy says personal data does not leave the EEA without a legal basis.

Its pricing page shows four tiers: Sandbox with up to 100 free SIMs and a EUR 50 monthly data credit, then Pro, Fleet and Enterprise from EUR 0.0025 per MB. Phone support is missing on Pro, VPN, IPSec and audit logs need Enterprise, and the history on its site gives both 2012 and 2018 as start dates, so no founding year is stated here.

What Onomondo does well

  • Operates its own core network, per its own pages
  • Per-device signaling logs and traffic monitor
  • SoftSIM and eSIM remote manager for SGP.32
  • Free sandbox and 30-day trial
  • ISO 27001:2022 certification listed

Where Onomondo falls short

  • Phone support absent on Pro
  • VPN, IPSec and audit logs only on Enterprise
  • Freedom to leave only on Enterprise
  • Paid prices are starting figures, not final quotes

Standout feature. Onomondo is the entry that shows signaling logs and a real-time packet trace for a single device wherever it roams.

#2 1NCE

Cologne, Germany IoT Lifetime Flat EUR 12 one-time for 10 years; SIM cards EUR 1 (Business), EUR 2 (Industrial), EUR 2.50 (Chip Industrial) (checked 30 October 2026) Demo on request

Best for: Low-bandwidth devices such as meters, trackers and payment terminals that send small messages for years

  • Operating company. 1NCE GmbH
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
  • Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages reviewed
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Particle EtherSIM and SIM connectivity

1NCE treats connectivity as something you buy once. The IoT Lifetime Flat costs EUR 12, prepaid, and runs for up to ten years with 500 MB, SMS, an APN and OpenVPN included, across 170+ countries. SIM cards are priced separately at EUR 1 for the Business SIM, EUR 2 for the Industrial SIM and EUR 2.50 for the soldered Chip Industrial. Per-SIM monthly data limits and an IMEI lock can be set in the portal or API.

The imprint names 1NCE GmbH in Cologne, entered at the Cologne local court under HRB 92529. The homepage claims more than 30,000 customers, and the company reports ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification audited by TÜV Rheinland. The profile is narrow on purpose: radio support covers 2G, 3G and LTE-M with NB-IoT in some regions, chatty devices outgrow 500 MB, and only the Industrial formats offer remote profile switching.

What 1NCE does well

  • EUR 12 one-time price for ten years
  • 500 MB, SMS, APN and OpenVPN included
  • 170+ countries covered
  • ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified
  • eUICC on industrial SIM formats

  • Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages reviewed
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Particle EtherSIM and cellular connectivity management

EMnify runs the cellular core itself and puts a portal and API on top, so a team can change a network policy, block an operator or pause a SIM without opening a ticket with a carrier. It says its SuperNetwork covers 190+ countries with several networks per country, and operators or network types can be blocked per device. The homepage mentions customers with more than 120,000 GPS trackers and dash cameras, and 1,800 consumer eSIMs on airline tablets.

The imprint lists EMnify GmbH with a registered office in Würzburg and an address in Berlin, entered at the Würzburg court under number 12268. ISO 27001 certification and AWS IoT Competency Partner status are listed on the site. No pricing was readable on the vendor pages when reviewed, so budgeting starts with the free trial or a quote, and the product stays at connectivity: dashboards and device updates come from other tools.

What EMnify does well

  • Operates its own mobile core
  • Coverage in 190+ countries
  • eSIM and SGP.32 offerings
  • ISO 27001 certified

A discovery workshop and a readiness assessment bring a prototype to a rollout plan, and a free IoT SIM device assessment kit gives early prototypes connectivity.

According to its about page, Eseye has worked on IoT connectivity since 2007. The privacy policy names Eseye Limited at 20 Nugent Road, Surrey Research Park, Guildford, and the UK counts as European for this directory though it is outside the EU. Infinity is the management platform for enterprises and Integra a white-label platform for operators. No public prices exist, only a contact route, and the bundling of services makes it heavy for a team with a handful of prototypes.

What Eseye does well

  • Multi-IMSI SIM across 800+ networks
  • Operating in IoT connectivity since 2007
  • Services from design to certification
  • eSIM orchestration for operators

Best for: Manufacturers that want public price tables and a Nordic operator-group contract

  • Operating company. Telenor Connexion AB
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Sweden)
  • Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages reviewed
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. KORE Wireless, Twilio Super SIM

Telenor IoT is the brand of Telenor Connexion AB of Solna, with a technical centre in Karlskrona, and its site says it has more than 20 years of IoT experience.

The offer splits into IoT Connect for large multi-country programmes, IoT Drive for connected vehicles and IoT Complete for manufacturers starting small. IoT Complete is the one with printed prices: EUR 2.52 once and EUR 0.76 per month per subscription, with data at EUR 0.024 per MB falling to EUR 0.005 above 250 MB a month.

Three service plans at EUR 95, EUR 470 and EUR 1,030 a month, each with three free months, make the cost of support visible. The basic plan covers portal access and device management, while the top plan adds infrastructure setup, internet breakout and 24/7 support outside hours. Telenor Connexion lists ISO 9001 since 2016 and ISO 27001 since 2019, audited by Intertek. IoT Connect and IoT Drive prices are not published, and the pages do not state a hosting location.

Where Telenor IoT falls short

  • High per-MB rate in the low tier
  • Service plan adds a fixed monthly cost
  • Only IoT Complete prices are published
  • Data hosting location not stated

Standout feature. Telenor IoT prints its service plan fees next to its SIM rates, so support is a number rather than a line in a quote.

#6 floLIVE

Israel and United Kingdom, Israel Pricing on request Demo on request

Best for: Operators, MVNOs and OEMs that need a white-label platform as much as a SIM

  • Operating company. Flo Live Israel Ltd and Flo Live Limited (UK)
  • Jurisdiction. Israel (outside the EU/EEA)
  • Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages reviewed
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. KORE Wireless, Twilio Super SIM

floLIVE sells the platform underneath the SIM. Its site lists a connectivity management platform, a multi-IMSI SIM, MVNE as a service, core as a service, edge as a service and an SGP.32 CMP aggregator, each available alone or combined. Its customer groups are mobile operators, IoT MVNOs and communication service providers, and global enterprises and OEMs, and a local breakout option keeps traffic on a local core instead of routing it home.

Its legal pages name two entities: terms of use issued by Flo Live Israel Ltd and governed by Israeli law, and a privacy policy issued by Flo Live Limited in the UK. Israel is outside the EU and EEA, so confirm which entity signs. Homepage quotes include a chip and module vendor, an operator wholesale brand, a farm-technology manufacturer and a statement from Eseye's chief operating officer. No prices are published and no self-serve ordering appears on the pages reviewed.

What floLIVE does well

  • Platform products beyond the SIM (MVNE, CMP, core)
  • Multi-IMSI SIM aimed at one SKU worldwide
  • Local breakout in a local-core design
  • SGP.32 aggregator listed
  • Israeli and UK legal entities

Where floLIVE falls short

  • No published prices
  • No self-serve ordering seen on the pages reviewed
  • Two legal entities to check
  • Built more for operators than for small fleets

Standout feature. floLIVE is a connectivity vendor whose quoted customers include other connectivity providers, because it sells the stack they run on.

  • Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages reviewed
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. KORE Wireless, other managed M2M SIM suppliers

Wireless Logic organises its offer in three SIM families: Global eSIM for one SIM across borders, a Local Multi Network SIM that attaches to several carriers inside one country, and a Low Power SIM for sensors at massive scale. The group says its Conexa core network lets it act as an independent carrier, with over 50 agreements with global operators and access to 750+ networks in 190 countries. SIMPro is its management platform.

The company is registered in England under number 03880663, and its master service agreement depends on which group company you order from, with separate UK and China terms. The About page says the group is majority-owned by the private equity firm Montagu, that General Atlantic joined as a minority shareholder in May 2025 and that Montagu announced a re-investment in November 2025. Headline figures such as 20 million things connected are self-reported, and no price list was read.

What Wireless Logic does well

  • Conexa core network operated by the group
  • Local multi-network SIM for coverage resilience
  • Global eSIM and low-power SIM options
  • Hardware, security and app services available
  • UK-registered contracting company

Where Wireless Logic falls short

  • Operating company. Telekom Deutschland GmbH
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
  • Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages reviewed
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. KORE Wireless, M2M SIM suppliers

Deutsche Telekom IoT, the business-customer IoT unit of Telekom Deutschland GmbH, prints more prices than any operator-group entry here.

IoT Business Classic starts at EUR 1.43 per SIM per month on 2G, LTE-M, LTE and 5G with a term from one year, Data Best at EUR 26.50 a month per pool of up to 50 SIMs from two years, and the LPWA plan costs EUR 14.50 once for ten years per SIM with 6.5 MB a month in Europe and NB-NTN support.

The legal notice names Telekom Deutschland GmbH in Bonn, entered at the Bonn local court under HRB 5919.

The site claims LTE-M and NB-IoT coverage above 99 percent and 5G coverage of 96 percent across Germany, plus 600 certified roaming and satellite partners. A free trial provides three triple SIMs for three months, and a paid package from EUR 105 gives 10, 20 or 30 SIMs for six months. Outside Germany, devices rely on roaming partners, and the pages do not state a hosting location.

What Deutsche Telekom IoT does well

  • Public plan prices
  • Data pools for fluctuating usage
  • LPWA plan with a ten-year payment
  • Free trial with three SIMs

#10 Vodafone IoT

Newbury, United Kingdom Pricing on request Demo on request

Best for: Very large global deployments that need an operator group with its own scale

  • Operating company. Vodafone IoT UK Limited
  • Jurisdiction. United Kingdom (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
  • Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages reviewed
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. KORE Wireless, large-carrier IoT platforms

Vodafone IoT pitches reach: its own pages cite more than 240 million connections, 180+ countries, 760+ network partners and 150+ LPWA networks. The portfolio covers a managed IoT platform, a data analytics service that flags anomalies, pre-configured devices, LPWA, connectivity for cars and satellite IoT, plus consultancy, security and testing. A recent playbook on the site frames 5G Standalone, AI and SGP.32 as the next steps for enterprise IoT.

The footer names Vodafone IoT UK Limited, registered in England under number 15364581 with its office in Newbury, Berkshire, and the brand belongs to the Vodafone group. Only the homepage was read, so which entity contracts in each country is not established here. No prices are shown, buyers are directed to contact experts, and the proposition suits large programmes more than a fleet of a few hundred devices.

What Vodafone IoT does well

  • Large network partner footprint, per its site
  • Satellite and LPWA options
  • Analytics service for anomaly detection
  • One supplier across many markets
  • UK registered entity named on the site

  • Figures are self-reported

Standout feature. Vodafone IoT is the entry here that bundles an anomaly-detection analytics service with its connectivity offer.

How do I choose between the European IoT SIM providers?

Start from the traffic profile of one device, not from the vendor list. A water meter that sends a few kilobytes a day fits 1NCE, whose EUR 12 flat for ten years includes 500 MB, or the Deutsche Telekom IoT low-power plan at EUR 14.50 for ten years with 6.5 MB a month in Europe. A camera or a gateway that moves megabytes fits a per-MB plan such as Onomondo, which starts at EUR 0.0025 per MB.

The second axis is how much visibility you need when a device misbehaves. Onomondo offers signaling logs and a packet trace per device, and EMnify lets you block an operator or pause a SIM from its portal or API. The telecom groups, Telenor IoT, Tele2 IoT and Vodafone IoT, are chosen more for a single counterparty than for tooling. List the three questions your support team asks most often, then check which portal answers them.

The third is who you want to deal with. Eseye adds device design and certification services, floLIVE sells platform building blocks to operators and OEMs, and Wireless Logic adds hardware and security next to SIMs. If you only need a SIM and an invoice, those extras are cost you do not need.

Which IoT SIM providers publish their prices?

Four of the ten pages show numbers. Onomondo lists a free sandbox, a EUR 50 monthly data credit and paid plans from EUR 0.0025 per MB. 1NCE lists the EUR 12 flat and SIM cards at EUR 1, EUR 2 and EUR 2.50.

Telenor IoT prints a EUR 2.52 one-time fee, EUR 0.76 per month per subscription, data from EUR 0.024 to EUR 0.005 per MB and service plans of EUR 95, EUR 470 and EUR 1,030 a month. Deutsche Telekom IoT prints EUR 1.43 per SIM per month for Classic and EUR 26.50 for a pool of up to 50 SIMs.

Tele2 IoT, floLIVE, Eseye, Wireless Logic and Vodafone IoT show no prices on the pages reviewed, and EMnify's pricing page was not readable as plain text. Treat the printed figures as starting points: Onomondo and Deutsche Telekom IoT both describe theirs as starting prices, and Telenor's per-MB rate depends on monthly volume and country.

The pricing model matters as much as the number. A flat prepaid fee like 1NCE's is cheap for quiet devices and wasteful for chatty ones, a monthly per-SIM fee like Telekom's Classic plan suits steady usage, and a pool smooths out devices with uneven traffic.

Does a European contracting entity settle the data protection question?

It settles who your counterparty is, which is the part a US provider's privacy notice handles with transfer mechanisms. KORE Wireless, for example, gives Atlanta as its registered office and says data may be processed in the United States. Moving to Onomondo ApS, 1NCE GmbH, EMnify GmbH, Telenor Connexion AB, Tele2 Sverige AB or Telekom Deutschland GmbH puts the contract inside the EU.

It does not tell you where the portal's data is stored. None of the ten pages state a hosting region, and Onomondo says only that personal data does not leave the EEA without a legal basis. Tele2 IoT adds a wrinkle by running its customers on the Cisco IoT Control Center. Put the hosting region and the sub-processor list into the questionnaire you send before you sign.

The UK and Israel are a separate case. Eseye, Wireless Logic and Vodafone IoT contract through British entities, and floLIVE through Flo Live Israel Ltd for its terms. They count as European here, but they are outside the EU and EEA, so a policy that demands an EU party excludes them.

How do I migrate a fleet away from KORE or another US IoT carrier?

Check each device for an eUICC before anything else. Units with a soldered or removable eUICC can take a new profile remotely: 1NCE offers it on the Industrial and Chip Industrial formats, Onomondo's eIM targets SGP.32, and EMnify, Eseye and floLIVE list SGP.32 offerings. Units with a fixed profile need a physical SIM swap, which is a truck roll or a field-service visit.

Run the new supplier in parallel on a small batch. Onomondo's sandbox, Tele2 IoT's trial kit of five SIMs and Deutsche Telekom IoT's three triple SIMs make that cheap. Rebuild the integration against the new API while the old one still bills, and keep an eye on contract notice periods: Telekom's terms run from one to two years, and the free-for-three-months offer on Telenor's service plans does not cancel your existing commitment.

Leave the largest or most remote devices to the end. If your new contract offers freedom to leave, as Onomondo does on Enterprise only, you can negotiate SIM-key portability early and avoid a repeat of this project at the next switch.

When should I not switch to a European IoT provider?

Stay put when the fleet is mostly outside Europe and the device count is small. A deployment concentrated in one non-European region may be better served by a carrier with a local core there, and several European providers state coverage as a total (for example Tele2 IoT's 670+ networks in 190+ countries) without telling you how well they serve one market. Ask for the networks in your target country by name.

Stay put, too, when the existing contract has years left and the devices carry fixed profiles. The cost of a field swap is often larger than the saving. In that case, order new device batches with eUICC SIMs from a European supplier and let the old fleet age out. The same applies when your compliance driver is satisfied by the current supplier's contractual measures and nobody has asked for a European party.

What do I get beyond a SIM from these providers?

It varies a lot. 1NCE gives you an APN, OpenVPN, a Data Streamer and per-SIM data limits, and nothing above that. EMnify adds a portal and API, with a cloud connection to AWS cited by a customer. Telenor IoT, Tele2 IoT and Deutsche Telekom IoT add managed services, test SIMs and, in Telekom's case, 5G campus networks and the T IoT Hub.

Eseye and Wireless Logic go furthest into hardware and engineering: Eseye with device design, testing and certification, Wireless Logic with network hardware, IoT security and application development. floLIVE goes the other direction and sells the platform itself, including MVNE and core as a service. If you plan dashboards or device management on top, check the integration list rather than assuming the SIM vendor covers it.

How we selected and ranked these 10 tools

Every tool on this page is in the European Purpose directory, which means the operating company is established in Europe and we have verified that from the company register or the vendor's own legal notice rather than from a marketing page. Tools headquartered outside Europe are not eligible, however good they are.

  1. Feature verification (weight: 40%). We check each capability against the vendor's own documentation and product pages, and record what the tool does rather than what the category is assumed to include.
  2. Ease of adoption (weight: 30%). Integrations, published API access, trial availability and how much configuration stands between signing and a usable result.
  3. Value and transparency (weight: 30%). Published pricing counts in a vendor's favour; quote-only pricing is recorded as quote-only rather than estimated. We weigh what a buyer gets for the entry price, not the headline feature count.
  4. Editorial review. Every page is researched and drafted with AI assistance, and the compliance and pricing claims are checked against the vendor's documentation before it is published under the founder's editorial responsibility. The three weights above decide the order; a position is a ranking against the other European tools in this category, not an absolute score.

Vendor-reported outcomes — ROI figures, margin uplift, time saved — are labelled as vendor claims wherever they appear on this page. We have not audited them, and neither has anyone else who quotes them. Read our full editorial process for how pages are re-verified.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the fleet, because the ten providers here optimise different things. Onomondo suits teams that want printed per-MB rates and device diagnostics, 1NCE suits small devices on a one-time EUR 12 fee, EMnify suits API-driven fleets, and Telenor IoT, Tele2 IoT and Deutsche Telekom IoT suit buyers who want an operator group as counterparty. Eseye, floLIVE, Wireless Logic and Vodafone IoT fit narrower cases such as engineering support, white-label platforms, in-country multi-network SIMs and global programmes.

Yes. KORE Wireless Group, Inc. names an Atlanta, Georgia registered office in its privacy notice, and the European options include Onomondo (Denmark), 1NCE and EMnify (Germany), Telenor IoT and Tele2 IoT (Sweden) and Deutsche Telekom IoT (Germany). Eseye, Wireless Logic and Vodafone IoT contract from the UK, and floLIVE from Israel and the UK.

For small devices, 1NCE: EUR 12 once for up to ten years plus a SIM card of EUR 1 to EUR 2.50. Deutsche Telekom IoT has a EUR 14.50 ten-year LPWA plan and a Classic plan from EUR 1.43 per SIM per month. Onomondo starts paid data at EUR 0.0025 per MB and has a free sandbox. Which is cheapest in practice depends on the megabytes your device sends.

Onomondo gives a 30-day trial with 5 SIMs and 50 MB, plus a sandbox with up to 100 free SIMs. Tele2 IoT sends 5 SIMs with 50 MB and 30 SMS each for two months. Deutsche Telekom IoT offers three triple SIMs for three months. Eseye gives a free device assessment kit, Telenor IoT offers test SIMs, and EMnify lists a free trial.

Onomondo has an eSIM remote manager built for SGP.32 and a SoftSIM. EMnify lists instant eSIM connectivity and an SGP.32 bootstrap product. floLIVE lists an SGP.32 CMP aggregator. Tele2 IoT offers eUICC switching, 1NCE supports eUICC on its Industrial and Chip Industrial SIMs, and Eseye has an eSIM orchestration product for operators.
