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.

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.
