Airalo eSIM Data Plans for Philippines

Airalo’s plans labeled “Unlimited” for the Philippines do not provide genuine high‑speed bandwidth without limits. Each of these plans delivers only 3GB of data per day and reduces speed to 1000kbps once the daily quota is exhausted, after which the traffic may be throttled. Therefore, Airalo does not offer a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for the Philippines.

Travelers who need more data can opt for fixed‑cap plans that may be more cost‑effective. For example, Alpas Mobile offers 50GB for 30 days at $48, and Asialink provides 100GB for 180 days at $89. These options deliver larger data allowances at a single price, but they also come with a set maximum data limit.

Airalo does not sell a Philippine eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability. The only eSIM options for the Philippines are data‑only plans, so travelers who need a local number or the ability to send text messages will need to use alternative methods.

Users can still connect to the internet with Airalo and use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage for voice and text conversations. However, some destinations may block or restrict specific apps or VoIP services, so travelers should verify that the apps they rely on work in the Philippines before purchasing a data plan.

Airalo offers 18 single‑country data plans for the Philippines and 35 multi‑country plans that include the Philippines. The plans range from $4.00 to $97.00 and offer data limits from 1 GB to 100 GB. Users can choose between daily data‑cap plans, which reset each day, and fixed data‑cap plans that carry over the full data amount for the plan’s validity period.
