FOR PEOPLE WHO PLAN AHEAD
The eSIM you hope you'll never need
Plan B for staying connected abroad: a €10 deposit that waits on your phone and only costs you when everything else fails.
MTX Connect Easy Start is a €10 deposit. It installs a travel eSIM on your phone and sits there until you need it. When you do, it connects you at €0.01 per MB in 136 countries.
MTX Connect is a Luxembourg-licensed mobile operator, active since 2014.
eSIM already dead, and you're reading this on borrowed Wi-Fi?
How the backup fires
The single mechanic that makes this a real backup: you can get online through MTX with no active package and no other internet connection.
Your main connection dies
No service at a border. A plan that quietly slowed down. An eSIM that won't attach to the local network.
MTX is already there
The Easy Start eSIM has been sitting in your phone the whole time, dormant, costing nothing.
Wake it up
Turn on data roaming for the MTX line. That one toggle is the whole setup.
Open your account
The MTX app and selfcare.mtxc.eu both open over our own network, with no Wi-Fi and no active package. This is the part almost nobody else can offer.
Switch on and go
Enable pay-as-you-go and your deposit goes live at €0.01 per MB, billed for exactly what you use.
No backup installed yet? It's not too late.
Easy Start isn't only insurance for next time.
If your eSIM died today, install Easy Start right now over whatever Wi-Fi you're borrowing, switch on pay-as-you-go, and walk out connected.
Setup takes about two minutes of internet; after that, you're running on our network.
The rest of your trip is covered, and the next trip already has its backup in place.
Rather rescue the eSIM you already have first? Fair enough:here's our 10-minute repair guide. It's honest. It fixes competitors' eSIMs too.
€10 that waits with you
It's a deposit, not a payment.
The €10 moves from your card to your MTX balance and stays yours. You spend it only when you actually use data, at €0.01 per megabyte, or on any package you like; plenty of them cost less than €10.
It stays valid while installed.
Keep the eSIM in your phone and the balance stays ready. No use-it-or-lose-it, no monthly fee, nothing to renew. It's your money in a different pocket, one that happens to work in 136 countries.
It's preparedness, not a trial.
No free-trial games, no auto-charges, no bundle to cancel. You set it up once and forget it, until the day you're glad it's there.
Why €10 and not less?
Honestly: payment processing. Card acquirers charge a fixed fee on every transaction, so tiny top-ups mostly feed the payment system instead of your balance. €10 is the smallest amount at which the deposit stays a deposit. We'd rather explain that than hide it.

Where it works, and where it doesn't
We'd rather you know before you fly than find out at the border.
COVERED
Flat €0.01/MB in 136 countries. The same price in France, Kazakhstan, Brazil, and everywhere else on the list. One balance, one rate, no zones, no tiers.
NOT CURRENTLY COVERED
We don't cover everywhere, and we won't pretend to. The map shows plainly where Easy Start won't help, so you can decide before paying us.
One balance, the whole family
An MTX account holds up to 10 SIMs and eSIMs on one shared balance. An extra eSIM costs €1. Add your parents' phones, your kid's phone, the family tablet; name each one ("Dad's Turkey phone" is a real customer classic) and see everything from your own dashboard.
They travel; you stay in control. Nobody has to learn anything, top up anything, or call you from a beach asking which app to open.
Made for people who plan ahead
You carry a charger you rarely need. You have travel insurance you've never claimed. You keep a spare key, a first-aid kit, a backup of the backup.
You already know the cheapest insurance is the one you set up before anything goes wrong. This is that, for staying connected. €10, once, and it waits.
A licensed operator, not a middleman
MTX Connect is a licensed mobile operator providing worldwide travel connectivity: based and regulated in Luxembourg (EU), serving travelers in 136 countries since 2014. Most travel eSIMs are marketplaces or resellers: they buy wholesale access and pass you along. We run our own network core, hold our own license, and control our own billing, which is exactly why your eSIM can reach its own account with nothing active on the line. Capabilities like that can't be resold. That's the difference you feel at the moment the backup fires.
