eSIM FAQ
What does an Airalo eSIM plan come with?
- An Airalo package comes with data (e.g., 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, etc.) valid for a specified time period (e.g., 7 days, 15 days, 30 days, etc.). If you run out of data or your validity period expires, you can top up your eSIM or download a new one right from the Airalo app.

How much does it cost?
- eSIMs from Airalo start from US$4.50 for 1GB of data.

Does an eSIM come with a number?
- Some eSIMs, including our Global Discover+ eSIM, come with a phone number so you can call, text, and access data. Check your eSIM's description for details.

Who is Airalo best for?

- Digital nomads who need to stay connected to work while abroad.
- Crew members (e.g., seafarers, flight attendants, etc.) who need to stay connected while they travel.
- Anyone who wants an easy and affordable data alternative to their home network.

Can I use my SIM card at the same time?
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 (but remember, they'll be subject to roaming fees).


Happy travels!

I had terrible data issues on all recent trip using Airalo. Got 4G+ and full bars, but sites didn't load, couldn't download email etc. Turns out it was not their fault. I installed SurfShark VPN, and while I was connected to VPN, everything worked perfectly. I'm not sure what is up with some of the local providers Airalo works with, but they're either tiering, or actively blocking access on certain apps and sites.

I'm updating my 1-star review because, after deleting my eSIM (I'm using Airalo in Spain; I live in the US) and reinstalling, things seem to be working more or less as expected. I have data service when I'm not on wifi (I'm able to, eg, make contactless payments using my phone). I was disturbed by how the service was working at first, then suddenly stopped. But deleting and reinstalling seems to have restored its functionality.

Absolutely terrible experience. The activation process is unnecessarily complicated, and to make matters worse, my service was abruptly terminated without explanation. I spent over two hours with app support, only to be told repeatedly to "wait for updates" with no estimated resolution time. When I finally asked for a refund, the technical agent simply stopped responding altogether. Avoid this service at all costs unless you enjoy being stranded in a foreign country with no data, unable to cont
