This includes a wide range of devices such as the iPhone XS, iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, and iPhone 15 series, as well as the Google Pixel 3, Pixel 4, Pixel 5, Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Pixel 8 series.

No. An eSIM can be installed only once, and it locks to the first device it is installed on. It cannot be moved to another phone, re-scanned, or reinstalled afterward, and it is non-refundable once installed. Please install your eSIM on the device you plan to keep using. If you are switching devices and need help, contact our support team.

EastESIM offers both single-country and multi-country Asia plans to suit different itineraries. If you've purchased a specific Vietnam plan, it is generally valid only within Vietnam. If your journey takes you from Ho Chi Minh City to explore the temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, we recommend our dedicated Southeast Asia Multi-Country plan. This ensures continuous, hassle-free connectivity across borders, connecting you to local networks like Metfone or Smart Axiata in Cambodia, rather than incurring unexpected roaming charges.

It's a common misconception that international roaming is free or affordable in East Asia. Unfortunately, for travelers from Australia or the UK, your domestic SIM card will almost certainly incur significant roaming charges in Japan. Countries like Japan are not typically included in standard 'free roaming' zones for most international carriers. Using your home SIM for data in Tokyo or Kyoto could result in a surprisingly high bill. EastESIM provides a cost-effective alternative, connecting you directly to local Japanese networks like Docomo or SoftBank.

Absolutely! EastESIM excels in providing robust coverage for island hoppers across Southeast Asia. In Thailand, our eSIMs connect to premier local networks such as AIS and TrueMove H, ensuring excellent connectivity not just in major cities but also on popular islands. Whether you're exploring the stunning limestone cliffs of Koh Phi Phi, relaxing on the tranquil beaches of Koh Lanta, or diving near Koh Tao, your EastESIM will keep you connected. Enjoy seamless navigation, photo sharing, and communication throughout your island adventures.

While cruising through the breathtaking limestone karsts of Halong Bay in Vietnam, you can generally expect good signal coverage, especially in the main cruising channels and near populated areas. Our eSIMs connect to robust local networks like Viettel or Vinaphone, which have invested heavily in expanding their reach. This means you can share stunning photos of the bay, look up information about Sung Sot Cave, or stay in touch with loved ones from your boat.

EastESIM is an ideal solution for cruise passengers making a port call in dynamic cities like Singapore. Forget about costly and slow satellite Wi-Fi on your ship; your EastESIM activates instantly upon docking at the Marina Bay Cruise Centre or HarbourFront Cruise Centre. You'll connect to Singapore's world-class 5G/4G networks, like Singtel or StarHub, enabling you to effortlessly navigate to the Gardens by the Bay, find the best hawker food at Lau Pa Sat, or use ride-sharing apps, all with reliable, high-speed data.

Yes, absolutely! EastESIM provides reliable data connectivity that is essential for using popular local ride-hailing and delivery apps like Gojek and Grab in Bali. These apps are incredibly useful for getting around from Seminyak to Ubud, ordering food, or even booking a massage. Our strong partnerships with Indonesian carriers such as Telkomsel ensure you'll have the stable connection needed to seamlessly book your transport, communicate with drivers, and navigate the island's vibrant destinations.

When you're out on a diving boat near places like Koh Lanta, you'll generally have good signal on the boat deck before you dive, allowing you to share pre-dive excitement or check weather. EastESIM's robust network, supported by carriers like AIS, extends well into coastal waters. However, once you submerge for your dive, mobile signal is naturally lost. You'll reconnect as soon as you resurface, ready to share photos of the vibrant marine life you've encountered.

Our local network partners, such as TashiCell, ensure you can share those awe-inspiring views of the monastery clinging to the cliffside or stay in touch with your travel companions. While signal might fluctuate slightly in very dense forest sections, you can count on solid connectivity for most of this iconic hike.

Absolutely. Navigating South Korea's well-developed but sometimes complex road network, especially outside of major cities, benefits greatly from reliable data. With EastESIM, you'll have consistent connectivity for apps like Naver Maps or Kakao Maps, which are often more detailed than Google Maps for local addresses. This is vital for finding your way through the bustling streets of Busan or exploring scenic routes to coastal towns, ensuring you don't miss a turn and reach your destination smoothly and safely.
