Asia eSIM

Three sizes, one QR code

Every Asia eSIM works the same way: you scan one QR code at home, and your phone switches to a local network at every border. What differs is which countries are in, which networks you get, and what happens when your data runs out.

eSIM	Countries	When the data runs out	Best for
Asia 16	16	Stops	Southeast and East Asia, including Cambodia, Laos and India.
Asia 28	28	Slows to 128 kbps	The same, plus Nepal, Sri Lanka, Australia, New Zealand, Central Asia, Georgia and more. No Singapore.
Asia + Europe	54	Slows to 128 kbps	Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Sri Lanka, plus most of Europe and Turkey. No Cambodia, Laos or India.

The full country list for the selected eSIM is further down this page.

The cheapest one isn’t called Asia

This surprises most people: Asia + Europe often costs less per GB than Asia 16, even if you never set foot in Europe. If your route stays within the countries it covers, it’s usually the best deal. It slows down instead of stopping when your data runs out, too. Check today’s prices in the buy box: switch between the sizes and compare.

The catch: Asia + Europe has fewer networks in some countries. In Indonesia it uses Telkomsel and XL instead of four networks; in Taiwan only Chunghwa Telecom. In the cities that rarely matters. On remote islands, more networks means more chance of signal.

Which one for which trip

• The Banana Pancake Trail (Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia): Asia 16 or Asia 28. Asia + Europe misses Laos and Cambodia. See our route page.
• Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Bali: Asia + Europe, or the Southeast Asia eSIM, which covers those four countries plus Vietnam.
• Japan, Korea and Taiwan: Asia + Europe covers all three. Only Japan and Korea? Look at the Japan + Korea route.
• India, Nepal and Sri Lanka: Asia 28 is the only one with all three.
• Asia, then Australia or New Zealand: Asia 28. Note that it has no Singapore.
• Asia and Europe on one long trip: Asia + Europe, of course.

Our route planner does the comparison for you: add your countries and it picks the cheapest eSIM that covers them all.

Networks

Asia 16 and Asia 28 use the same networks in the countries they share: AIS and True in Thailand, all three networks in Vietnam, Globe and Smart in the Philippines, four networks in Indonesia. Most come with 5G. The country pages say more per country, for example Thailand, Vietnam and Laos.

How much data for Asia

Four weeks of normal use (maps, ride apps, messages and socials) comes to about 17 GB, so a 20 GB plan covers a month. Two weeks fits in 10 GB. The table above has today’s prices for the selected eSIM.
