Long Trip eSIM Guide: Coverage, Data and Validity
Choose a Long Trip eSIM by matching three things: your destination list, the total data you need and the validity window. A longer duration does not provide unlimited data or cover every country in a region. AloOui's current Asia, Middle East and Africa Long Trip products offer fixed allowances for different extended-stay needs.
For a slow-travel itinerary, longer assignment or visit to family, these products can provide mobile data between Wi-Fi connections. Budget the total allowance across the stay, especially if you will share a hotspot or make frequent video calls.
Start with the full route
Asia Long Trip lists fourteen destinations, Middle East Long Trip seven, and Africa Long Trip twelve. Check every stop before comparing data and duration. The regional name alone is not a coverage list.

These are separate regional products, not three tiers of one worldwide plan. All three examples provide one total allowance rather than a daily refill.

Total allowance and validity are different
Total data
20GB, 50GB or 100GB is one pool for the selected plan. It is shared across included destinations and devices using the connection.
It is not the allowance per country or per day. These fixed-data products do not include reduced-speed continuation after the total is used.
Validity
60, 90 or 180 days is the selected use window after activation under the plan's timing instructions.
Longer validity does not add data. Service ends when the allowance or validity runs out, whichever comes first.
All current Long Trip options
| Product | Total data and validity | Practical use |
|---|---|---|
| Asia Long Trip | 20GB / 60 days | Lighter two-month use with regular Wi-Fi |
| Asia Long Trip | 50GB / 90 days | Balanced three-month use |
| Asia Long Trip | 100GB / 90 days | More total data in the same ninety-day window |
| Asia Long Trip | 100GB / 180 days | The same 100GB spread across a longer stay |
| Middle East Long Trip | 20GB / 60 days | Lighter extended-stay use |
| Middle East Long Trip | 50GB / 90 days | More total data and longer validity |
| Africa Long Trip | 20GB / 60 days | The sole currently selectable option |
No Unlimited or Premium option is currently selectable on these three Long Trip listings. Do not borrow the daily terms of a separate regular regional product or assume every region offers the Asia product's 180-day duration.
Asia Long Trip: fourteen listed destinations
Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Uzbekistan and Vietnam.
Bali is included through Indonesia. Japan, mainland China, India, the Philippines, Cambodia and Laos are not on this product's list. A Bali, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur route matches its Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia entries; adding Japan or the Philippines requires a different coverage arrangement.

Middle East Long Trip: seven listed destinations
United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Morocco, Oman and Turkey.
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Tunisia are not included. A Dubai and Muscat stay matches the UAE and Oman entries; a later Qatar stop does not become included because the product is called Middle East.
Compare Middle East Long Trip options
Africa Long Trip: twelve listed destinations
Egypt, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, Réunion, South Africa, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda and Zambia.
Ghana, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Namibia and Botswana are not included. Check each country on a multi-stop route. Destination inclusion does not guarantee reception throughout national parks, game reserves, deserts or remote roads.
Estimate usage before choosing the allowance
Review recent usage on the phone and any laptop you will connect. Separate maps, bookings and messages from frequent video calls, streaming, photo uploads and cloud backups.
For Asia, 50GB/90 days is the balanced recommendation for ordinary travel use; 100GB/90 days gives more total data in the same validity window. Choose 100GB/180 days when you need the longer window and can manage that same total over a longer stay.
For the Middle East, choose 20GB/60 days for lighter use with regular Wi-Fi or 50GB/90 days for more data and time. Africa currently offers only 20GB/60 days, so decide whether that total fits your expected use rather than treating it as an unlimited work connection.
Hotspot use draws from the same pool
These product descriptions allow sharing where supported by the device and network. The host phone, connected laptop and any other guests use the same total allowance.
Pause automatic updates, backups and large downloads. Use metered settings on a laptop where supported, since a hotspot can appear to it as ordinary Wi-Fi. Keep the host phone powered and ventilated.
For important remote-work meetings, test the actual connection and prepare another suitable arrangement. Longer validity does not guarantee reception, app access or a particular speed.
Install before travel, activate when ready
- Confirm the exact phone model supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked.
- Match every destination, including any stopover where you want data.
- Choose the total allowance and validity.
- Use stable Wi-Fi to install from the purchased plan's email instructions.
- Label the line AloOui or Travel and keep the profile installed.
The three product descriptions state that installation alone does not start validity. Activation occurs when the profile connects to a supported network in an included destination. If you are already in included territory, enabling the line and connecting can start the plan before your main journey.
Choose enough validity from first activation to final use, including rest days and periods on Wi-Fi. Do not rely on switching off the line to pause or extend validity. Crossing a border does not restart the plan or create a fresh allowance.
Data settings and APN data.esim
- When ready in supported coverage, enable AloOui and select it for mobile data.
- Enable data roaming on the travel line as instructed.
- Keep home-line data roaming off and disable automatic mobile-data switching where supported.
- If manual APN entry is required, enter data.esim, leave username and password blank, then save and select the APN.
- Test a small webpage or message before relying on the connection.
Some phones configure the APN automatically. Follow the purchased travel plan's device-specific instructions if its settings differ.
Calls, numbers and verification are separate
These Long Trip products are data-only. They do not include a phone number, native calls or SMS. Internet-based messaging and calling apps use data, subject to service availability.
If you need a local number or verification texts during a longer stay, arrange the relevant service separately. Keeping a home line enabled is subject to the phone's supported line arrangement and the carrier's overseas availability and charges.
If data is not working
- Confirm the actual country or territory is included.
- Check remaining data and validity.
- Check the active profile, mobile-data selection and required roaming setting.
- If an APN is needed, use data.esim, with username and password blank, then save and select it.
- Try airplane mode, a restart or a place with better reception. Try 4G/LTE if 5G is unstable.
- Start with automatic network selection. Choose a listed supported partner manually only when instructed, not any visible network.
- Keep the eSIM installed and contact the AloOui Help Center with your model, order number, location and error details.
If data runs low before validity ends
Review usage and pause unnecessary transfers. A fixed plan's longer expiry window does not provide more data after the total is used.
Check the actual options for your purchased order before assuming a top-up, automatic renewal or extension is available. If another purchase is needed, confirm its destination coverage, timing and installation process while you have a suitable connection.
Would a shorter regional option fit better?
For a shorter trip or a preference for daily high-speed allowances, compare the separate Asia eSIM, Middle East & Africa eSIM or Africa eSIM.
Those products have their own coverage and duration choices. For example, the Middle East & Africa product includes Kuwait while Middle East Long Trip excludes it. Do not assume similarly named regular and Long Trip products have identical lists or terms.
Also visiting the UK?
The Long Trip destination lists above do not include the UK. If a separate UK visit needs a UK number with native calls or SMS, compare the selected options in the UK number and calls guide. That is a separate purchase, not a number or extra destination included with these Long Trip products.
