About Philippines eSIM
The Philippines is quite significant for eSIM usage due to its geographical structure. The country has over 90% 4G LTE coverage, while 5G coverage is more limited and generally available in major cities. In cities like Manila and Cebu, the Globe operator offers high speed and reliability, while Smart (PLDT) provides better coverage in rural areas. DITO stands out as a new player with its 5G network. For tourists, using an eSIM offers the opportunity to avoid SIM card queues at the airport and language barriers. Additionally, it offers savings of up to 90% compared to local SIM cards. Internet speed in cities varies between 25-40 Mbps, while on islands, this speed can drop to 10-20 Mbps. By using an eSIM with dual SIM support, you can continue to send and receive SMS with your main number. We recommend comparing eSIM packages through Tripuck to find the most suitable option.
How to Buy Philippines eSIM?
Buying an eSIM for the Philippines is quite simple. As the first step, choose a package that suits your needs from platforms like Tripuck, Holafly, or Airalo. After purchase, a QR code will be sent to you via email. iPhone users can follow Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM, and Android users can follow Settings > Network & Internet > Add eSIM to scan the QR code and load the profile. Activating the eSIM by turning on data roaming upon arrival takes only a few minutes. By loading the eSIM settings before your trip, you can quickly connect to the internet upon arrival. We recommend ensuring that your device is eSIM compatible and checking your data roaming settings.
Philippines eSIM Pricing
eSIM package prices in the Philippines generally range from $4 to $50. 1GB/30-day packages start between $4-6, while 3GB/15-day packages are priced between $9-12. 5GB/15-day packages range from $12-18, and 10GB/7-15 day packages vary between $15-25. Unlimited data packages are offered between $19-47. Holafly and Yesim offer competitive prices on unlimited packages, while Airalo and eSIM Prime offer balanced prices. Tezfly also offers packages in similar ranges. Low GB packages can be preferred for short trips, while unlimited or high GB packages are recommended for long stays.
Recommendations
We recommend Holafly's unlimited 15-day package as the best price/performance option. Purchase the eSIM before your trip to avoid wasting time at the airport. Ensure that your device supports eSIM; devices like iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20+, and Google Pixel 3+ are compatible. There's no need to carry a backup physical SIM card, as your main line can remain active with dual SIM support. For long stays, Yesim's 10GB+ packages or Globe 5G packages offered by Eskimo can be preferred. Consider the coverage area of the Smart operator for island tours.
