Frequently asked questions
How much does the Philippines eSIM cost?
The Philippines 1GB/Day plan costs $1.20 for 1 GB/day over 1 days, paid once with no hidden fees.
How do I activate my Philippines eSIM?
Scan the QR code in your phone settings (Cellular/Mobile → Add eSIM) or tap Install in the eSIM TopUp app. Install on Wi-Fi before your trip; it activates when you arrive in Philippines.
Will this eSIM work on my phone?
It works on any eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone — iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy models.
Can I keep my regular number?
Yes. The eSIM runs alongside your normal SIM, so you keep your number for calls and texts while using data in Philippines.

Will this keep my WhatsApp active with my home number?
It does — your home number stays live for WhatsApp, calls and texts. The eSIM only carries data.

How long does the QR code take to arrive after payment?
Delivery is immediate. The QR is in your account the moment payment clears.
Grace F. · 8 months ago

How do I check how much data I have left?
Open the app and go to My eSIMs — usage updates there. You can also see it on your account page.

Can I top up the same eSIM instead of buying a new one?
Yes, if the plan supports top-up you can add data to the same eSIM rather than installing a new one.
Haruto N. · 1 year ago
Can I use this for hotspot/tethering?
Yes, hotspot and tethering are supported. It uses your plan data as normal.
Ryan C. · 1 year ago
Do I need to install it before I travel or after I arrive?
Set it up before departure. Installing needs internet, and airport Wi-Fi is not always reliable.

Is 5G supported or just 4G?
You get 5G on networks that carry it, and 4G everywhere else. No setting to change.
