eSIM FAQs
Common questions about using eSIM in Asia
What eSIM plans are ideal for cruise travel with port days in multiple countries?
Esimy regional plans are the best fit for cruise itineraries because they cover all common port countries on one eSIM — no need to buy a separate plan for every port. Pick the regional plan matching your cruise:
- Mediterranean / Greek Islands cruise — Esimy Europe regional (47+ countries, includes Italy, Greece, Croatia, Spain, France, Portugal, Cyprus, Malta) — €1.99 starting
- Adriatic / Balkans coastal cruise — Esimy Balkans regional (Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, and more) — €3.49 starting
- East Asia / Southeast Asia cruise — Esimy Asia regional (Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia) — €3.49 starting
Important: Esimy connects to land-based mobile networks only. While at sea, you’ll need to use your ship’s satellite Wi-Fi or onboard cellular service (those are separate). The Esimy plan activates and works automatically once you reach port and your phone connects to a partner local carrier. 5% Loyalty Points back into your Esimy Wallet on every plan.

What are the most reliable eSIM providers for international travel?

Is it better to use eSIM than local network?
Using our eSIM package, you are being connected to multiple local networks when you travel, so it’s essentially better than buying a local SIM card because it offers you more coverage so thats why we call it Travel eSIM because it’s suitable for travelers and more advanced in terms of speed/coverage and reliability.
