Tourist eSIM eSIM Data Plans for South Asia

Tourist eSIM does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for South Asia. The plans that carry the word “Unlimited” in their name actually give a fixed high‑speed allowance—typically 2 GB or 3 GB per day—after which the speed drops to a reduced rate (for example 2000 kbps or 1000 kbps).

If a traveler needs a more consistent data experience, Tourist eSIM offers fixed‑data options such as the Asia 180 Days 100 GB plan, which gives 100 GB of high‑speed data for 180 days, and the Global 365 Days 80 GB plan, providing 80 GB for a full year. These fixed data plans can be more cost‑effective for users who consume large amounts of data while traveling through South Asia.

Tourist eSIM does not provide plans that include a local phone number or SMS capability for South Asia. The provider’s South Asia offerings are strictly data‑only; users cannot place traditional calls or send or receive SMS through the network.

Travelers who need voice or messaging can use data‑based VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage. These apps work over the internet connection provided by Tourist eSIM, allowing communication without a dedicated phone number.

Tourist eSIM offers multiple eSIM plans that include South Asian coverage. The “Asia”, “Asia Unlimited” and “Asia (20+ areas)” plans all provide connectivity in Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Several “Global” plans also cover those same four countries; one of the Global variants expands the coverage to include Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Pakistan, thereby adding Afghanistan and Nepal to the South Asian list. No available plan currently includes Maldives or Bhutan as part of its South Asian coverage. All of these plans additionally extend to other regions worldwide, but the South Asian countries listed above are the only ones consistently covered across Tourist eSIM’s South Asian eSIM offerings.
