eSIM in Asia

Data does the heavy lifting on a trip like this. You'll lean on Google Maps to untangle Tokyo's subway, hail Grab rides in Kuala Lumpur and Manila, message home on WhatsApp, and point Google Translate at menus in Seoul and Hanoi. Buy your eSIM for Asia before you fly, install it with one tap from your email at home — your phone sets it up itself — and switch it on when you land. No store visits, no paperwork, and no SIM swapping at any border along the way.

Staying connected in Asia

Practical advice for using mobile data in Asia.

1

Plan multi-stop routes freely

Flying Singapore to Bangkok, then on to Tokyo? Your eSIM reconnects automatically each time you land in a covered country. Keep it installed with data roaming on; nothing to reinstall between stops.

2

Download Grab before landing

Grab is the ride-hailing app across Southeast Asia, from Singapore and Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Manila. Install it and add a card before your flight so you can book a ride on arrival.

3

Use Naver Map in Korea

Google Maps has limited directions in South Korea. Locals use Naver Map or KakaoMap, and both have English versions. Download one before Seoul to handle the subway and side streets.

4

Save offline maps for islands

Before ferry rides in the Philippines or boat trips around Indonesia's islands, download offline Google Maps areas over hotel WiFi. Signal comes and goes at sea; offline maps keep you oriented.

5

Hotspot on long train rides

Riding the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto or the KTX from Seoul to Busan as a group? Turn on your phone's hotspot and share one eSIM's data across every device.
