Frequently asked questions

Does eSIM work in the Philippines?

Yes — Simply eSIMs run on the Philippines’ 4G networks covering the main cities and resort islands. Install before you fly and activate on landing in Manila or Cebu in seconds.

Does it work in Palawan and Boracay?

Yes — coverage is good in Boracay, El Nido, and Palawan’s main towns, thinning in remote coves and on boat trips between islands. Download maps and bookings before island-hopping tours.

Does my primary number keep working during the trip?

Yes — your primary SIM stays in place and receives calls and bank verification texts as usual, while your data flows through the travel eSIM.

How much data do I need for an island trip?

Typical use runs 1-2 GB per day — and uploading dive and beach videos eats more than you expect, so pick a comfortable plan. You can top up from the app anytime, even on the island.
