Which plan fits your trip
- Fixed data, 10 GB for seven days. Suits a short trip that crosses two or three countries.
- Daily data, 1.5 GB a day for 30 days. Suits a longer journey with steady use every day. After the day's allowance, speed drops until the allowance resets.
Your allowance is shared across every country on the list: no separate quota per country. See fixed, daily or unlimited for how each type behaves.
When a regional plan makes sense
A regional plan is the simple choice for a trip that crosses borders: a backpacking route through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, a business trip from Singapore to Hong Kong and Tokyo, or a journey that ends in Australia or New Zealand. For a trip to one country only, that country's own plan is usually better value: compare them on the country pages, such as Thailand, Japan or Vietnam.
China and its neighbours
The list includes mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. A roaming eSIM in mainland China routes your data outside the country, which is why travelers often find that apps blocked on local networks keep working on a travel eSIM. Check this before you go, as rules and enforcement change.
Before you fly
- Check your phone supports eSIM and is unlocked: the 30-second check.
- Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi: iPhone or Android.
- When you land, switch data roaming on for the eSIM line only.
Networks in Asia Pacific
The plan connects to a local partner network in each covered country, so data roaming must be on for the eSIM line. Coverage is strong in the cities and along the main routes; small islands, mountains and boats can drop the signal on any network. Want to know which network a plan uses in a given country?

How to install your eSIM
Install it at home before you fly, then switch it on when you land.
Check your phone
Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier unlocked. Most phones from the last few years do.
Scan the QR code
Scan the code from your email while you still have Wi-Fi at home. It takes about two minutes.
Switch on when you land
Turn on the eSIM line and data roaming for it. Keep your usual SIM for calls and texts if you like.
Asia Pacific eSIM questions
Which countries does the Asia Pacific plan cover?
Twenty-two destinations: Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Uzbekistan and Vietnam.
Do I need a new eSIM in each country?
No. One install covers every country on the list. Your phone joins a local partner network automatically when you cross a border.
Does it cover India?
Yes. India is on the list, along with Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Will I keep my phone number?
Yes. Your usual SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts, and the eSIM carries your mobile data. Keep data roaming off on your usual SIM to avoid roaming fees.
When does the plan start?
On most plans, the days start counting when the eSIM first connects to a network in a covered country, not when you install it.
