GulfData eSIM Data Plans for India

No, GulfData does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for India. All of GulfData’s India plans that carry “Unlimited” in the name are fixed‑data plans with a hard cap of 1 GB per day; after the daily limit is reached the speed is throttled to 512 kbps. Alternatives that offer larger data allowances are available, such as the 20 GB plan valid for 30 days, priced around $37.00 USD, and the 50 GB plan valid for 180 days, priced at $178.00 USD. These fixed data plans may be more cost‑effective for travelers who need substantial data without the throttling that occurs after the 1 GB daily limit.

GulfData does not provide any eSIM plan for India that includes a phone number or SMS capability. All GulfData offers for this destination are data‑only plans.

Travelers wishing to make calls or send texts can use popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection. However, some destinations may block or restrict certain VoIP services, so it is advisable to confirm the availability of the apps you rely on in India before purchasing a GulfData eSIM.

GulfData offers a variety of data plans for travelers visiting India, split into single‑country options and multi‑country options. The single‑country segment includes 11 distinct plans, while the multi‑country selection offers 31 available plans that cover India along with other destinations.

Pricing for these plans ranges from about $5 up to $197.50. Data allowances vary from 1 GB to 50 GB, and validity periods span from 1 day to 365 days. Among the offerings, fixed data cap plans provide a set amount of data that remains usable for the full validity period, whereas daily data cap plans limit how much data can be consumed each day, useful for travelers who prefer controlled usage.
