eSIM FAQ
What does an Airalo eSIM plan come with?
- An Airalo package comes with data (e.g., 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, etc.) valid for a specified time period (e.g., 7 days, 15 days, 30 days, etc.). If you run out of data or your validity period expires, you can top up your eSIM or download a new one right from the Airalo app.

How much does it cost?
- eSIMs from Airalo start from US$4.50 for 1GB of data.

Does an eSIM come with a number?
- Some eSIMs, including our Global Discover+ eSIM, come with a phone number so you can call, text, and access data. Check your eSIM's description for details.Ā

Who is Airalo best for?

- Digital nomads who need to stay connected to work while abroad.
- Crew members (e.g., seafarers, flight attendants, etc.) who need to stay connected while they travel.
- Anyone who wants an easy and affordable data alternative to their home network.

Can I use my SIM card at the same time?
Yes! Most devices allow you to use multiple SIMs and/or eSIMs simultaneously. You can keep your primary line active to receive text messages, calls, and 2FA authentication (but remember, they'll be subject to roaming fees).


Happy travels!

Used it for 2 trips to Asia (from UK), easy and seamless to install and use. Very useful for using Google Maps, and camera translation. Some messaging apps won't work (LINE, but would occasionally work) or won't send/receive photos (WhatsApp and LINE) but that isn't a problem if you go through a VPN.

Shows I've used up data when I cant even open Facebook with this connection. I couldn't get this app to work and when I reached out to support, I got an AI chat bot asking me the same questions over and over again. Finally got through an agent who gave e directions while asking me to share screenshots of the results. Nothing worked and the agent ended the chat abruptly. I still cannot reach them on the app. Tried WhatsApp chat and it was the bot with the same routine again.

Absolutely fantastic. Great value for money. I used their esim in the Caribbean and it was solid everywhere. I was on a cruise and it worked on all the different islands. im in Japan now and has been great for 10+ days. The only drawback is it is data only, with no number issued, which is a shame because sometimes you need to register a phone number and get text alerts or make a short phone call. Otherwise the internet has been connection has been consistent and fast, everywhere. 5 🌟
