Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for South Asia

Giga.Tel does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for South Asia. The two plans that carry the label “Unlimited” deliver only 1 GB of high‑speed data per day and, after that limit is reached, the connection is throttled to 512 kbps. Once the daily allowance is exhausted the data is still counted by the plan, but the speed is reduced.

If a traveler needs a larger data volume without the daily cap, Giga.Tel offers several fixed‑data options. For example, the Global Special 20 GB plan delivers 20 GB of high‑speed data for 365 days, and the Global 106 countries, 20 GB plan gives 20 GB for three days before a reduced speed of 128 kbps applies. These fixed‑data plans can be more cost‑effective than the limited‑daily “Unlimited” offerings for users who consume data heavily.

Giga.Tel does not provide any South Asia eSIM plans that include a local phone number or SMS capability. The available eSIM offerings from this provider are data‑only, so travelers cannot place or receive regular voice calls or send or receive SMS messages directly via the eSIM.

Travelers who need to stay in touch can rely on data‑driven messaging and calling apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage. These VoIP applications work over the internet connection provided by the eSIM, allowing calls and messages without a traditional phone number or SMS service.

The available Giga.Tel eSIM options cover the following South Asian countries: Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan. The “Global 106 countries, /day” plan lists Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh and Nepal; the “Global (Not Include Mainland China)” plan includes Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka; and the “Global Special” plan lists Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. No other South Asian states (Maldives, Afghanistan, Bhutan) are recorded in the dataset.
