Which eSIM should you choose for South Asia?
For India, start with 1GB of total data for 7 days at $6.48 USD. Choose a separate destination eSIM for Pakistan, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka below. Each product covers its named country, so a multi-country itinerary needs coverage for every stop.
Choose your destination eSIM
Four country products, each shown once with its original picture. Open a product to select the allowance and duration for that country.
Prices may change. Always check the product page for the latest prices before purchasing.
Choose your data plan
All four products offer these allowance types. Prices and networks differ by destination; the table explains data, not a shared regional package.
| Plan | Data allowance | Validity options |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed | 1GB total | 7 days |
| Fixed | 2GB total | 15 days |
| Fixed | 3, 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100GB total | 30 days |
| Unlimited Lite | 1GB/day high-speed, then up to 512 kbps | 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 or 30 days |
| Unlimited Essential | 1GB/day high-speed, then up to 1.25 Mbps | 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 or 30 days |
| Unlimited Plus | 2GB/day high-speed, then up to 2 Mbps | 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 or 30 days |
Fixed data is one pool for the whole validity period. Daily plans refresh their high-speed allowance each day; after it is used, data continues at the stated reduced speed. Hotspot use shares the same allowance where supported.
Build a plan around your South Asia itinerary
One country or several?
A Delhi–Jaipur–Goa trip stays within India, so compare India allowances rather than buying for each city. Adding Sri Lanka means choosing Sri Lanka coverage separately. The collection name does not turn a country plan into a multi-country eSIM.
Family visits and everyday data
For maps, messages and bookings between Wi-Fi connections, compare a fixed total allowance. For regular daily calls over apps and photo sharing, Essential is the balanced daily option. Plus doubles the daily high-speed allowance to 2GB for heavier uploads.
Keep local-number needs separate
These four products are data-only, with no local phone number, conventional calls or SMS. Messaging apps can use the data connection, but local account verification may still need a number. Check those account requirements before departure.
Choose by dates and data use
Tell Shop with AI which countries you are visiting, your dates, budget and hotspot needs. Use the eSIM calculator to estimate data, then select the matching country plan.
South Asia eSIM questions
Is this one eSIM for all of South Asia?
No. This collection contains four separate country products: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Each covers its named country only.
Which plan is a balanced daily option?
Essential gives 1GB/day of high-speed data, then speeds up to 1.25 Mbps. Compare Plus for 2GB/day, then up to 2 Mbps, when your uploads or shared use need more high-speed data.
Will I receive a local number or verification texts?
No. These four eSIMs provide data without a local number, conventional calls or SMS. Internet messaging and calls can work through apps, but mobile data alone does not satisfy local-number verification requirements.
Can I buy before travelling?
Yes. Install over Wi-Fi following your order instructions. Validity starts when the eSIM connects to a supported network in its destination, not when you buy or install it.
Does this collection include Nepal, Bhutan or the Maldives?
The products currently shown here are India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Check the exact destination product and its coverage rather than assuming coverage from the South Asia collection name.
