eSIM Philippines

There is great connectivity in most major cities such as Metro Manila, Cebu City and Davao. Major tourist attractions including Boracay, Siargao and Palawan (Puerto Princesa / El Nido) have good 4G coverage in downtown areas and resort locations.

We collaborate with the two largest telecommunications companies in the Philippines, Globe Telecom and Smart Communications. Therefore, there is always a back-up option available when there is no signal from either provider on an island.

In the Philippines, the country is known as the “Social Media Capital of the World.” Data is required for Grab (transport / food), Google Maps and social apps. For a typical 2-week island-hopping trip, 10GB of data is recommended. If you want to work remotely from Siargao, consider purchasing 20GB of data.

Tourist attractions include the historic walled city of Intramuros in Manila, swimming with whale sharks in Oslob, surfing the waves at Cloud 9 in Siargao and visiting the world-famous underground river in Puerto Princesa.

The Philippines has recently introduced the strict SIM Card Registration Act, requiring tourists to register their physical SIMs using passports and proof of accommodation. The use of a roaming eSIM bypasses this hassle because, by definition, you are roaming on a foreign partner network.

Weather conditions in the Philippines can be unpredictable and so can travel plans. Our 24-hour customer service team is available to assist with troubleshooting any connectivity issues whether you are traveling by ferry or staying in a hotel.
