Tourist eSIM eSIM Data Plans for East Asia

Tourist eSIM does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for East Asia. The plans that are marketed under the “Unlimited Data” label actually give a fixed amount of high‑speed data—such as 2GB per day or 3GB per day for a set validity—after which the speed drops to a reduced rate of 1 000 kbps or 2 000 kbps. For travellers who need more consistent data use, Tourist eSIM offers fixed‑data options such as the 100 GB plan valid for 180 days, which delivers the full 100 GB without speed throttling. Selecting one of these fixed‑data plans can be more cost‑effective for users who are heavy data consumers.

Tourist eSIM does not provide East Asia eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability. Travelers can purchase only data‑only eSIMs from this provider, and no options are currently available that offer outbound or inbound calls or SMS. If a phone number or text messaging is needed, users will have to rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection, noting that access to these services can vary by country and should be verified before purchasing.

Tourist eSIM offers a range of plans that include East Asian destinations. The Asia (18+ countries) and Asia (21+ countries) plans cover China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Macau and Taiwan. The Global (100+ countries), Global (196+ countries), Global (118+ countries), Global (169+ countries), and Singapore Malaysia Thailand (20+ countries) plans all include the same set of East Asian countries. Plans that also extend coverage to Mongolia – Global (120+ countries) and Global (139+ countries) – provide service to China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Macau, Taiwan and Mongolia.
