GIGAGO eSIM Data Plans for East Asia

No, GIGAGO does not offer permanent unlimited data eSIM plans for East Asia. The provider’s East Asian plans give data allowances in daily increments, such as 2GB per day or 1GB per day, for specified validity periods.

Instead, GIGAGO sells fixed‑data eSIMs for the region. For instance, a 30‑day plan that delivers 2GB per day costs $94.50 USD and covers Japan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and eight additional countries. A shorter 8‑day plan that provides 1GB per day is priced at $24.50 USD and covers the same area. Choosing a fixed data plan can be more economical for travelers who do not exceed those daily allowances, whereas a heavy data user might still find the daily‑based approach suitable.

GIGAGO does not provide eSIM plans with a local phone number or SMS capability for East Asia. Travelers using GIGAGO in East Asia will receive only a data‑only eSIM, which can be accessed via Wi‑Fi or the cellular network for Internet use, but it does not support inbound or outbound voice calls or text messages. Users who need messaging or calling services can rely on popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, which work over the data connection provided by the GIGAGO eSIM.

The GIGAGO Asia eSIM 14 Countries plan offers coverage within East Asia for Japan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan; it additionally extends to other regions beyond East Asia, though those territories fall outside the scope of the East Asian coverage.
