Tourist eSIM eSIM Data Plans for Philippines

Tourist eSIM does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for the Philippines. The plans that carry “Unlimited Data” in their name actually have a hard cap of 2GB or 3GB per day, after which the speed drops to a reduced rate of 1000kbps or 2000kbps. In other words, ongoing unlimited high‑speed data is not available from Tourist eSIM for this destination.

Travelers who need more data can choose from Tourist eSIM’s fixed‑data options. For example, a 100GB plan is available for 31 days at $67.78 USD, and a 100GB plan for 180 days is offered at $77.80 USD (5G on the 18‑country version) or $143.73 USD for the 21‑country version. These plans give large data allowances without the speed throttling that applies to the so‑called unlimited offers.

Tourist eSIM does not provide a local phone number or SMS capability for the Philippines. The provider only sells data‑only eSIMs that work with 4G or 5G connections. Travelers can use WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, or other VoIP applications over the data link for voice and messaging.

Tourist eSIM provides 8 single‑country data plans that cover only the Philippines, and 139 multi‑country plans that include the Philippines as one of their destinations. The available plans span a price range from about $2.34 to nearly $427, with data caps between 1 GB and 100 GB. Plans are offered in two main configurations: fixed‑data plans, which give a set amount of data for the entire validity period, and daily‑data‑cap plans, where data is allocated on a per‑day basis. Some of the plans allow tethering and, in a few cases, offer reduced speeds at 2000 kbps or 1000 kbps.
