See what travelers are saying about their Philippines eSIM experience. Real feedback from real users to help you pick the best plan for your trip.

“I bought unlimited for one day. Throttling speed was so obvious, can't go above 200 kb/s. Regardless of advertising 5g, esim connected on LTE network.
Complete waste of money.”

“I’ve used Billion Connect for multiple eSims abroad now, and I’ve found them great every time. Their customer service responds pretty quickly to any issues, and the sims are cheap and work well. Be aware the sims are mostly based in Hong Kong so if you’re geographically far from there the latency might be a little high, and you may need a VPN for things like TikTok to work, but I’ve had very few issues.”

“Easy to use, decent speeds (not particularly fast but not frustratingly slow either). But this eSIM uses roaming via Hong Kong, so I wasn't able to use ChatGPT which was a bummer.”

“So far all the esims I've got with mobimatter worked flawless, in Taiwan I had to adjust the connection network manually once, but it was a minor issue.”

“Got the 20GB esim for Philippines, speed was so slow, mostly unusable, avoid”

“I could use via Android App.
Operator was Singapore carrier.
Speed was not so fast, but there was no complain.”

“Despite being at the airport, the connection was nonexistent, and even when it did connect, it was too slow to even check emails. It seems to go through 1010, a Hong Kong communication service, but it was completely useless in the Philippines! Should not be sold! I don't even want to give it one star. I ended up buying a new esim from AIRALO using the airport WiFi, which worked smoothly.”

“Nomad eSIM was easy to buy, easy to use (you just activate the plan from app and turn on data roaming) but in the Philippines it was definitely not that fast.
The one I bought from Nomad connected to Globe 4G, but was actually roaming via Hong Kong (provider called 1010 / csl).
I tried to use tethering at the airport on my way back but the network was sooo slow for some reason. Maybe just the airport, not sure.”

“Airalo worked okay at least in Manila. But speed is not that high at all and upload speed can be quite slow sometimes. I used it only for messaging, maps, Grab, etc. so was okay for me.
It's a roaming network provided by Singtel so it goes through Singapore with latency of a bit shy of 100ms.
If you don't mind the task of getting a local SIM and swapping it in your phone, you'll get better deal and better latency for sure. But as far as prepaid eSIM goes, Airalo does a decent job I think. You just have to lower your expectation a bit.”

“I was in Manila, El Nido and Coron. It worked well enough in Manila that I had no complaints. In El Nido, I had to manually select a network for it to work. Leaving it on automatic on the phone will choose the wrong network. In Coron, I had no reception once outside the main town. My wife had a physical SIM card and she had no issues.”
Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Philippines
More than 260 eSIM brands and more than 19, 900 prepaid data plans are available for travelers in the Philippines, giving a wide range of choices that help travelers find a plan tailored to their needs.
Unlimited data eSIM plans are available for the Philippines from several providers. ESIM.DOG, Earth Esim, Roamify, abesteSIM, ASIMGO, MicroEsim, Giga.Tel, Yesim, RedEx eSIM, and Lempart Flex all offer unlimited data options, though most of them impose speed limits or possible throttling. For example, ESIM.DOG and Earth Esim have speed limits of 1 Mbps, MicroEsim and Giga.Tel allow up to 10 Mbps, ASIMGO and Lempart Flex limit speeds to 5 Mbps, and several plans only state that speed may be throttled without specifying a limit. The price range for these unlimited data plans spans from about $1.66 to roughly $20.50 USD, depending on the provider and validity period.
In the Philippines, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) providing mobile services are:
Smart Communications: A subsidiary of PLDT Inc., offering a comprehensive range of mobile services, including voice and data, with extensive coverage across the country.
Globe Telecom: Part of the Ayala Corporation, providing a variety of mobile services with a strong presence in both urban and rural areas.
DITO Telecommunity: The newest major player in the market, focusing on expanding its 4G and 5G networks to enhance nationwide coverage.
Additionally, the Philippines hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), which offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. For example, GOMO! operates on Globe's infrastructure, providing data-centric plans without expiry dates. It's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure rather than MVNOs.
Yes, there are travel eSIM plans that give you a phone number and SMS capability while you are in the Philippines. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, JamboSim, ESIM.DOG, AirPlans, Megaroam and Roamify offer plans that include a US phone number with dialing code +1 and provide inbound and outbound voice as well as SMS (some plans, like those from JamboSim, offer only outbound voice and SMS). Other plans from Orange Travel, RedEx eSIM, Stixrs, eSIM Net, Simbye, LineCast Networks and Rafeeq give you a phone number from France (+33), the United States (+1) or the Philippines (+63), but the majority use foreign dialing codes, so the number is not a local Philippine number.
The cheapest option starts around $4.00 for a 1GB plan valid for 7 days, with other plans ranging up to 20 GB and valid for 7 to 60 days. All of these plans include voice and SMS capabilities; the specific telephony features vary slightly between providers, but each offers a phone number that can receive calls and messages in the Philippines.
