What is eSIM Philippines?

An embedded SIM card, or eSIM, is a digital version of a physical SIM card. There are two main types of prepaid eSIMs available:

  1. Data-only eSIMs provide mobile internet access but do not come with a local phone number. They allow using data services like maps, messaging apps, web browsing, etc. However, you cannot make regular calls or send SMS texts without a phone number.
  2. Full-service eSIMs work just like a traditional SIM card. They provide a local Philippines phone number plus data connectivity. This allows making calls, sending texts, and using mobile internet.

For tourists traveling to Philippines, most eSIM options are data-only plans. They give you mobile data to stay connected online, use travel apps, maps, and contact people via Internet messaging. But they do not support voice calls or SMS without a local number.

Travelers can use a Philippines data eSIM to access useful apps and services during their trip, like Google Maps, WhatsApp, Skype, travel sites, email etc. While not a full replacement for a SIM card, data eSIMs meet the needs of most tourists who just need connectivity and internet access in Philippines. They can be purchased conveniently online before the trip starts.

Where to buy eSIM Philippines?

The two main categories of eSIM providers that offer plans for travel to the Philippines are:

  1. Local Philippine mobile operators: The major cellular networks in the Philippines are Globe, Smart, and DITO. They each offer eSIM plans directly to tourists visiting the Philippines.
  • Globe, Smart, and DITO provide eSIMs on their own networks, giving you access to their coverage and speeds in the Philippines.
  1. Global eSIM providers: These companies offer eSIMs for multiple countries, including the Philippines. They are not affiliated with specific Philippine networks.
  • The global eSIM providers generally resell or lease capacity from Philippine mobile networks like Globe, Smart, or DITO based on their agreements.

The local Philippine operators may provide better network coverage and speeds as you are directly on their network. However, the global eSIM providers can offer more flexibility and convenience for travelers going to multiple countries.

1. Local mobile network operators

Local Philippine Operator eSIM Pros:

  • Access to faster network speeds and better connectivity on local networks
  • Support for 5G networks
  • Local Philippine phone numbers
  • Wider range of plan options and bundles

Local Philippine Operator eSIM Cons:

  • Need to register personal details which can be inconvenient
  • Must purchase in-person at local operator stores
  • Limited to only that carrier's network coverage

1.1 Globe Philippines eSIM

Globe is one of the major mobile networks in the Philippines. Their eSIM plans provide fast data speeds and connectivity through their 4G/LTE and 5G networks.

Key benefits of Globe Philippines eSIM:

  • Local Globe phone number
  • Compatible with prepaid and postpaid plans
  • Convenient online purchase and digital activation

1.2 Smart Philippines eSIM

Smart is another top mobile operator in the Philippines. Their eSIM offerings focus on prepaid plans for tourists.

Advantages of Smart Philippines eSIM:

  • Access to Smart's extensive 4G/LTE coverage
  • Affordable prepaid plan rates
  • Easy activation process using QR code

1.3 DITO Philippines eSIM

DITO is the newest Philippine telco player. They also offer eSIM connectivity for visitors.

DITO Philippines eSIM pros:

  • Local DITO phone number
  • Growing coverage footprint
  • Prepaid and postpaid eSIM plan options

In summary, local Philippine operator eSIMs provide better speeds and network access. But global eSIMs offer more flexibility for multi-country trips.
