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 India eSIM
eSIM for India: internet without roaming
Traveling to India with a connection from the minute you land no longer depends on finding a SIM store or filling out forms with passport photocopies. With an eSIM for India, you have your data active before you leave home and connect to the same networks locals use: Jio, Airtel, and Vi (Vodafone Idea). These are the carriers with the best 4G and 5G coverage in the country, so you'll have reliable internet for maps, translation, bookings, and staying in touch on WhatsApp throughout your trip.
Roaming in India: why an eSIM makes sense for you
India is not part of the European Union, so your carrier's roaming plan doesn't apply here. Connecting with your regular SIM can cost you between 10 and 15 euros a day, and a surprise bill when you get back is the last thing you want. With an eSIM you pay a fixed price, you know how much data you have, and there are no hidden charges for megabytes or incoming calls. It's the simplest way to forget about roaming in India.
How much does an eSIM for India cost?
Our plans start at euros, well below what you'd spend on roaming in a single day. For a typical one- or two-week trip, a 5 GB plan covers normal use of maps, messaging, and social media; if you tend to upload photos and videos or share your connection, aim for 10 or 20 GB. As a reference for esim India price, figure about 1 GB every two or three days of moderate use and add a buffer if you'll be making video calls.
eSIM vs. physical SIM in India
Getting a physical SIM in India as a tourist usually means going to an official store, showing your passport and visa, and waiting hours or even a day for activation due to local registration rules. The eSIM is one hundred percent digital: you don't swap cards, there's no risk of losing your regular SIM, and you can keep your home number active to receive bank SMS while using Indian data. All from the same phone, with no in-person paperwork.
Does the eSIM work in Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, or Goa?
Yes. Jio and Airtel coverage is extensive in major cities and tourist areas: you'll have mobile data in India in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Jaipur, the Taj Mahal in Agra, the beaches of Goa, or the temples of Varanasi. On rural or mountain routes, the signal can become more patchy, which is normal with any carrier in the country. You can see the rest of our plans at all destinations if your route combines India with other countries.
How do you activate the India eSIM?
When you buy, you receive a QR code and clear instructions by email. You scan it from your phone's settings, leave the plan installed, and activate it right when you land to make the most of every day of data. You don't need technical know-how or to change anything else on your phone. If it's your first time with this technology, we explain it step by step in our eSIM guide, so you arrive in India connected and hassle-free.
