Coverage and networks

A regional Asia eSIM covers 12 Asian destinations with one eSIM that automatically connects to local partner networks in each covered country. It is built for multi-stop trips, for example combining Thailand, Japan, Singapore and South Korea in one journey. In major cities and tourist areas you can expect solid 4G speeds, with 5G available in many urban areas where the partner network supports it. Check the covered destinations listed with the plan to confirm your exact route is included.

Backpacking through several Asian countries typically uses 1 to 2 GB per week for maps, ride-hailing and messaging, so a 5 to 10 GB bundle suits most two to four week trips.

The eSIM connects to a new local partner network automatically when you land in the next country, no swapping or reactivation needed.

Included countries (12)

Cambodja, China, Hongkong, Indonesië, Japan, Macau, Maleisië, Singapore, Taiwan (China), Thailand, Vietnam, Zuid-Korea

What happens when I fly from one Asian country to another?

The eSIM reconnects automatically. After landing, your phone finds a partner network in the new country, usually within a few minutes of turning off airplane mode. Your remaining data carries over, it is one shared allowance for the whole region.
