Philippines travel data eSIM

What is a Philippines eSIM?

A digital data plan for your trip. Buy it, scan the QR code, and your phone is online the moment you land in Philippines — while your home SIM stays in place for calls and texts.

No physical SIM

Fully digital — it arrives as a QR code.

4G and 5G speeds

Hops to whichever local network is strongest.

Your number stays

Calls and texts keep reaching you as normal.

One fixed price

Paid up front. No roaming meter, no surprise bill.

Local networks

Which networks you connect to

Your phone picks whichever local signal is strongest — there is nothing to choose or set up.

Ways to get online

Which option makes sense for your trip?

Six things travellers ask us about, answered for all three options.

PaygeSIM eSIM BEST UNDER A MONTH Local SIM cardBought after you land Home-plan roamingNothing to set up
A week of data $1.99, fixed before you fly Typically $10–20 plus top-ups Often $10 a day
Getting online Two minutes, at home 20–40 min in an airport shop Already switched on
Online at baggage claim Yes, as you land Only after the shop Yes
Your phone number Stays on your home SIM Your SIM comes out Stays active
When you pay Up front, no meter Cash or card at the counter On next month's bill
If the trip changes Refundable if unused Non-refundable Nothing to claim back

Our honest take: a local SIM is a little cheaper if you are staying for months. For anything shorter the eSIM wins on every other line — and it works before you leave the plane.

Getting connected

From checkout to signal in three steps

About five minutes of work in total — the only waiting happens after you land.

01

Buy before you fly

Pick your plan and the QR code lands in your inbox within a minute — a copy stays in your account as backup.

02

Install on Wi-Fi

Scan the code from your phone settings the night before, at home, rather than in an arrivals hall with no signal.

03

Land and switch on

Turn on data roaming for the eSIM line when you arrive. Validity starts then — not when you bought it.

Not sure your phone supports eSIM? Dial *#06# and look for an EID in the result.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Everything travellers ask us before buying a Philippines eSIM.

Your plan roams on Philippines’s leading operators — SMART and Globe. Your phone selects whichever has the strongest signal where you are, so there is nothing to configure.

Most phones from 2018 onward support eSIM, including recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models. Dial *#06# and look for an EID number, and make sure the handset is carrier unlocked before you travel.

Yes. Your home SIM stays in the phone and both lines run side by side, so calls and bank SMS codes keep reaching your own number while all data goes through the eSIM.

Install at home on Wi-Fi before you fly, then switch it on when you land. Validity only starts counting when the eSIM connects to a network in Philippines, so installing early costs you nothing.

No — this is a data only plan. Use WhatsApp, FaceTime or any other app over data and keep your home SIM for regular calls and texts. Hotspot sharing is included.

Buy another plan from your account and scan the new QR code — about two minutes from your phone. Support is available around the clock if anything does not work.

Still unsure? Talk to support — we answer around the clock.
