Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for India

Giga.Tel’s plans that carry the word “Unlimited” actually provide a fixed amount of high‑speed data each day. For example, the Global 1 days (2GB/Day Unlimited) plan allows 2GB of 5G data per day and after that the speed drops to 512kbps. The Global Unlimited 5, 7, 10 and 15 day plans each give 1GB of 5G data per day, also throttling to 512kbps once the daily limit is reached. Because of these daily caps, Giga.Tel does not offer a truly unlimited data eSIM for India.

Travelers who need larger amounts of high‑speed data can choose from Giga.Tel’s fixed‑data plans. Two examples are the Global 61 countries, 50GB plan valid for 7 days at $56.99 USD, and the same 50GB plan for 15 days at $62.99 USD. Both provide 50GB of 5G data with a reduced speed of 128kbps after the allowance is used. Fixed‑data plans can be more cost effective for most users, especially those who are not extreme heavy data consumers.

Giga.Tel does not provide India eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. The available offerings are data‑only eSIMs, so while high‑speed internet is available across 4G and 5G networks, there is no inbound or outbound voice or text service through the eSIM. Travelers who need messaging or calling can rely on Internet‑based applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage, which operate over the data connection without requiring a traditional phone number.

Giga.Tel offers 60 data plans for India, all of which are multi‑country coverage plans. The available packages range in price from $5.99 to $195.99 and in data cap from 1 GB to 50 GB with validity periods between 1 and 30 days. Within this selection, there are two distinct plan types: 21 plans feature a daily data cap that resets each day, providing a steady amount of data for daily use, while 39 plans employ a fixed data cap that allocates a set volume of data for the entire validity period. Many of the plans also allow tethering or offer reduced speed options of 128 kbps or 512 kbps for certain bundles.
