The (almost) 5-star eSIM
The eSIM was very easy to install and, once I reached my destination, I had a connection from the very first moment without having to worry about roaming.
Activation was quick and simple, and I had a connection the whole time with no hassle. Coverage and speed were very good.
I went on a trip around Latin America and had coverage everywhere, at a very good price. Highly recommended 💪🏼

More about the Philippines eSIM
eSIM for the Philippines: Internet Without Roaming
With an eSIM for the Philippines, you arrive in Manila with mobile data active from minute one, no need to hunt for a store or swap your physical SIM. The plan connects to the best local networks, Globe, Smart (part of the PLDT group), and DITO, so you get 4G and 5G coverage in tourist areas and major cities. Perfect for browsing, using maps, booking ferries between islands, and keeping up with WhatsApp throughout your trip.
Roaming in the Philippines: Why an eSIM Makes Sense
The Philippines isn’t part of the European Union, so your carrier’s roaming charges apply — it’s easy to pay between 10 to 15 € a day, and on some plans, data runs out fast. A data eSIM avoids that bill shock: you buy your gigabytes before you leave, pay once, and know exactly what you’re spending. It’s the simplest way to have internet in the Philippines without surprises or relying on hotel Wi-Fi.
How Much Does an eSIM for the Philippines Cost?
The price goes up depending on the gigabytes and days. For a short trip focused on maps and messaging, 1 GB per week is usually enough. If you’re sharing photos of Palawan, making video calls, or working remotely, budget around 1 GB every two to three days. Compared to roaming, the savings with an eSIM are clear even on short stays.
eSIM vs Physical SIM Card in the Philippines
A physical SIM from Globe or Smart can be bought at the airport or in stores, but that means registering your number, queuing, and losing your regular line. The eSIM is a digital profile: you install it via QR, keep your usual number for bank SMS, and get set up before you even take off. No plastic cards and no removing your everyday SIM.
Does the eSIM Work in Manila, Cebu, or Boracay?
Yes. Coverage is solid in Manila, Cebu, Davao, and Quezon City, as well as beach destinations like Boracay, Bohol, and Palawan (El Nido, Coron). On small islands and in rural areas, the signal may drop to 4G or depend on the provider — Smart and Globe usually offer the best range there. You can check our plans and compare at all destinations.
How to Activate the eSIM for the Philippines
After purchase, you receive a QR code by email. Scan it from your phone’s settings, install the profile, and activate your data when you land in the Philippines. You don’t need technical knowledge — you’re connected in a couple of minutes. If it’s your first eSIM, follow the step-by-step guide in our eSIM guide and travel knowing you’ll have internet right from the start.
