“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.”
Airalo does not provide a genuinely unlimited high‑speed data plan for the Philippines. All plans that use the “Unlimited” name give 3 GB per day of high‑speed data; once this daily limit is reached the speed drops to 1000 kbps. Travelers who need unrestricted data can instead choose Airalo’s fixed‑data plans, such as the 100 GB plan valid for 180 days at $89 USD or the 50 GB plan valid for 30 days at $48 USD. These options offer a larger overall data allowance and may be more cost effective for heavy data users.
Airalo does not provide eSIMs that include a local phone number or SMS capability for the Philippines. Customers who need voice or text services in the Philippines will need to use data‑based services such as VoIP apps. Airalo only offers data‑only eSIM plans for travel in the Philippines.
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.
