Airalo eSIM Data Plans for East Asia

Airalo does not provide a genuinely unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for East Asia. The available “Asialink – Unlimited” plans deliver only 3GB of high‑speed data per day; after that limit the speed is throttled to 1000 kbps. For travelers who need higher capacities, Airalo offers fixed‑data plans such as the Asialink – 20 GB plan, valid for 30 days, which runs at full speed for the entire 20 GB, and the Asialink – 50 GB plan, valid for 30 days, which also offers full speed throughout. These fixed‑data options may be more cost‑effective for users who require more data and want to avoid reduced speeds.

Airalo does not offer an eSIM plan for East Asia that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. All available East Asia eSIMs from Airalo are strictly data‑only, so travelers cannot place voice calls or receive text messages through a local number.

For messaging and voice communication, travelers can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection provided by the eSIM. These services work without requiring a traditional phone number or SMS.

Airalo offers several eSIM plans covering East Asian countries such as Japan, Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Macau, and Mongolia. The Asialink plan covers every country in this region and extends to many surrounding Southeast Asian and South Asian destinations. Discover also includes the full East Asian lineup and is bundled with an extensive set of extra worldwide covers. Discover+ shares the same East Asian countries—China, Hong Kong, Japan, Mongolia, Macau, and Taiwan—and likewise provides additional coverage outside of East Asia.
