eSIM in Asia

Data does the heavy lifting on an Asia trip. You'll use it for Grab rides in Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia, Gojek in Indonesia, Naver Map directions in South Korea, and live train times for the Shinkansen in Japan. Translation apps, QR menus, and photo backups eat data too.

Buy your eSIM for Asia before you fly. Tap the install link from your email at home on WiFi and your phone sets the eSIM up itself — or scan the QR code if you prefer — and you're online the moment you land, with no store visits in any country on your route.

Staying connected in Asia

Practical advice for using mobile data in Asia.

1

One eSIM, seven countries

This plan covers 7 Asian countries with a single eSIM. Fly Tokyo to Seoul to Bangkok and your data follows you — no swapping SIMs at each border, no hunting for a shop in every new city.

2

City-hop by high-speed rail

Japan's Shinkansen and South Korea's KTX turn long distances into day trips. With data on your phone you can check timetables, store digital tickets, and navigate big stations like Tokyo and Seoul without hunting for WiFi.

3

Grab works across Southeast Asia

One ride-hailing app covers most of your route: Grab operates in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Set it up before your first airport pickup and skip the taxi line.

4

Save offline maps for islands

Heading to Indonesia's smaller islands or remote spots in the Philippines? Download offline maps for those areas while you're still in a city. Signal can fade between islands, and offline maps keep you oriented either way.

5

Message locals on LINE

LINE is the everyday messaging app in Japan and Thailand — hotels, guides, and new friends will ask for it. Install and verify it before your trip, then message over data anywhere on your route.
