Frequently Asked Questions

Most modern smartphones support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 series and above, and Google Pixel 3 or newer. Your device must also be carrier-unlocked. If you’re unsure, Gohub provides a quick compatibility checklist before purchase.
Coverage depends on location. In general, Globe and Smart are the main networks. Major cities and tourist hubs like Manila, Cebu, and Boracay have strong coverage, while remote areas such as Palawan or Siargao may experience variable speeds. Travel eSIMs typically connect to the best available local network automatically.
Most travel eSIMs are data-only and do not include a Philippine phone number. This is usually sufficient for travelers, as apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, Grab, and GCash work over data without a local number.
Yes, hotspot and tethering are generally supported, making it useful for laptops or sharing data with a second phone. However, some plans (especially “unlimited” plans) may have fair usage or speed limits.
In most cases, yes. Travel eSIMs offer prepaid data with clear pricing and no surprise roaming charges, while international roaming fees from home carriers are often significantly higher and less predictable.
Many travelers choose providers that allow easy top-ups or additional data purchases online. With Gohub, you can usually add more data without reinstalling a new eSIM, depending on the plan.
It’s recommended to buy and install the eSIM before you leave, while you still have stable Wi-Fi. You can then activate mobile data upon arrival in the Philippines so your plan starts at the right time.
No. Unlike local physical SIM cards, most international travel eSIMs do not require passport or local ID registration, which makes them simpler for short-term visitors.
Yes. If your phone supports Dual SIM, you can keep your home SIM active for calls or SMS (such as banking OTPs) and use the eSIM for data at the same time.
Short trips usually work well with small, fixed data plans for 3–7 days. For longer stays or island hopping, larger data bundles or longer validity plans offer better value. Many travelers compare plans directly on Gohub to balance duration, data size, and price.

Network Coverage in the Philippines

Gohub travel eSIM uses established local network infrastructure to deliver mobile data across the Philippines.

  • ✓ Reliable performance in major cities and popular tourist areas such as Manila, Cebu and Boracay.
  • ✓ Suitable for maps, messaging, browsing and everyday streaming.
  • ! Coverage and speeds may vary on smaller islands, remote coastal areas and during peak travel times.

Note: Coverage is powered by local network infrastructure in the Philippines. Actual experience can vary by location, device and network conditions.

What You Can Do With a Travel eSIM in the Philippines

  • Navigation and transport: use maps, ride hailing apps and ferry or flight check-in tools while moving between islands.
  • Messaging and social: stay connected on chat apps and social platforms while exploring beaches, cities and islands.
  • Remote work: check email, use cloud tools and join video calls when needed.
  • Content sharing: upload photos and short videos from your trip without relying on public Wi-Fi.

Common eSIM Issues and Quick Fixes

If your eSIM does not connect immediately after you arrive in the Philippines, follow these quick checks in order:

1

Enable data roaming for the eSIM line in your mobile settings.

2

Set the eSIM as your primary data line so mobile data uses the Philippines eSIM.

3

Restart your device after landing to allow it to reconnect to the local network.

4

Check APN and network settings are set to automatic. Avoid manual carrier selection unless support requests it.

For step by step help, please refer to the full troubleshooting guide in the Gohub app or support center.
