What’s an eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM built right into your phone. No physical card, no fuss. Browse data packages, buy, install, and get online — all directly from the app.
Choose from any one of Airalo’s eSIM plans and packages:
- Local eSIMs for single-country trips, starting from just $4 USD
- Regional eSIMs for multi-country adventures across Europe, Asia, Latin America, and more
- Global eSIMs covering 160+ countries in one install — with data, calls, and texts
- Unlimited eSIMs for when you want peace of mind without having to worry about your data usage
How it works (it's really this easy)
1. Install the Airalo app
2. Choose your eSIM plan based on your travel needs (location, fixed GB or unlimited data, number of days)
3. Buy your eSIM
4. Install the eSIM directly on the Airalo app
5. Turn on your eSIM and get data as soon as you arrive in your new destination
Track your usage in real time, manage multiple eSIMs in one place, and top up on the fly — because plans change, and we help you adapt to them.
PS: If your device supports keeping two lines active at the same time, your original SIM can stay active, so you never miss a call or a 2FA code from home. Just make sure Mobile Data and Roaming are strictly assigned to your Airalo eSIM to prevent unexpected charges from your domestic carrier.

FAQs
Can I use my SIM card at the same time as an eSIM?
- 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 (just remember that these will be subject to roaming fees).
Do Airalo eSIMs come with phone numbers?
- Yes, we offer both options. Some of our eSIMs come with a phone number that includes data, calls, and texts, while others are data-only packages designed purely for internet connectivity. You can easily check which features are included in the plan's details before purchasing.
Can I make phone calls and send text messages with an Airalo eSIM?
- Yes, if you choose an eSIM that specifically includes data, calls, and texts. For data-only eSIMs, you won’t be able to make traditional phone calls or send SMS, but you can still use internet-based apps like WhatsApp to stay in touch seamlessly.

I have discovered Airalo from a friend and i can say this is a must app/service to have when traveling. Instead of buying local sim-cards, or spending huge amounts of money on data roaming, you can instead use this and have access to internet wherever you go. The brilliant side of it is that if you are traveling in multiple countries within a specific region/continent, you can buy data that is available in all countries of that region (like Africa, of Europe), moreover you can buy data packages that are available globally if you are traveling in different parts of the world during a trip. I would recommend this service to anyone, especially those traveling heavily, is great and way cheaper than data roaming provided by your network.

All traveller's must download

What a genius idea. Its literally life saving. Scince I downloaded this app I no longer worry about data aboad at all or searching for a sim card and placing and activating it at a shop. I actually install the esim which takes like a minute before my trip. Once I arrive to the country it directly activates and there you go strong internet connect through any cell service company in that country. I love that you can purchase the sim using apple pay as well use it to top up your sim. And once purchased it always there just top it up before your next visit.

Extremely Unreliable eSIM Data Service in Hong Kong and Beyond – Not Recommended
Ihabhdara
My experience with Airalo’s eSIM data service in Hong Kong was nothing short of frustrating. Despite promises of seamless connectivity, the app failed to deliver even the most basic data connection. I purchased a regional eSIM plan specifically for my trip, assuming it would work smoothly in a tech-savvy city like Hong Kong. Unfortunately, I spent hours troubleshooting with no success—no stable signal, constant disconnections, and ultimately zero usable data. What’s worse, this isn’t an isolated issue. I’ve faced similar problems in other countries where Airalo’s coverage was supposedly "excellent." The app’s interface might be user-friendly, but it’s utterly pointless if the service itself doesn’t function. Customer support offered generic responses (“restart your device,” “reinstall the profile”), which did nothing to resolve the core issue. For travelers relying on connectivity for navigation, communication, or work, Airalo’s inconsistent performance is a major risk. The lack of reliable service left me stranded multiple times, forcing me to hunt for local SIM cards as a last-minute fix. **Verdict**: Save your money and sanity. Airalo’s eSIM might look affordable and convenient upfront, but the unreliability makes it a gamble. If you’re visiting Hong Kong or other regions they claim to cover, explore alternatives—this app isn’t worth the hassle.
Developer Response

No customer service

I bought a 20gb eSIM to use in an European country, paid followed all the steps… arrived in the country of destination continued to follow the steps but unfortunately I was going no where… I messaged on the app chat, sent a message on the app message, started a WhatsApp chat… I did not try sending a pigeon, yet… so the only system that is immediate from my experience with them is the money collection system it was seamless to take the money from my account… I am still not convinced that someone works there… I saw the messages you sent on the other comments if you ask me to send a message to you it will be quite ironic and my answer is just reply to the ones you have in less than 12hrs… you want to rival with phone operators and do not provide customer service? How does that make sense? There is a reason phone operators have a miríade of agents in their call centers you guy’s go with zero agents? How?
Developer Response
