India eSIM questions
How much does an eSIM for India cost?
Plans start at $1.65 USD for 1 GB, valid for 7 days. Prices shown are one-time charges. Select a plan above for its full coverage and activation details.
How much data can I buy for India?
The plans on this page offer 1 GB, 3 GB, 5 GB, 10 GB, 20 GB, 50 GB. Available validity periods are 7, 15, 30, 90, 180 days; not every allowance is available for every duration. Match both the data allowance and validity to your trip.
Can this India eSIM receive OTPs for local apps?
No. Our India plans provide data without an Indian phone number or SMS. Apps that require an Indian number or an SMS verification code need a separate compatible phone service. An internet connection alone does not satisfy phone-number verification.
How much data do I need for a week in India?
Check your phone’s recent mobile-data usage for a similar length of time. Maps and messaging generally use less data than video, video calls or laptop tethering. Download maps and media over Wi-Fi, and choose validity that covers the whole trip. There is no single allowance that fits every traveller.
Which networks do these eSIMs use in India?
Networks listed on the India-only offers include AirTel. Each plan can have a different network list; check the one you select. Signal and speed depend on location, your phone and network conditions. A listed operator is not a guarantee of 5G or coverage everywhere.
Can I buy and install my India eSIM before travelling?
Yes. The plans listed here start their validity on first connection to a supported network. Install over Wi-Fi and check the separate activation deadline in your order before buying far ahead.
Will this eSIM give me a local phone number in India?
No. These are data-only plans, with no local number, standard calls or SMS. You can use internet messaging apps with an existing account. If an app requires a local number or an SMS code, this eSIM cannot provide it.
Can I use a hotspot with my India eSIM?
Hotspot support is not confirmed for every plan. Check the selected plan or ask support before buying if you need to connect a laptop or share data.
Ask about a planWill my phone work with an eSIM in India?
Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Check the exact model and regional variant before paying. A supported model name alone does not confirm that every version of the phone has eSIM.
How do I install and activate my India eSIM?
After payment and eSIM preparation, open your private order page for installation instructions. Use Wi-Fi to add the eSIM, select it for mobile data, and follow the plan’s roaming and activation settings. Keep data roaming off on your home SIM to avoid using its roaming data.
iPhone and Android setupCan I use this eSIM outside India?
Only in the countries and territories listed for the selected plan. A regional plan shares one data allowance across its destinations; the allowance does not reset at the border. Check every stop on your trip before buying.
Can one eSIM cover India and Sri Lanka?
Yes. Asia (20 areas) covers both for $5.30 USD, with 1 GB over 30 days. Select that allowance and duration above; if it is a regional alternative, look under “Visiting more than India?”. Check its full country list before buying. The data allowance is shared.
Can I top up my India eSIM?
Sign in with your checkout email to check usage and available top-ups. Some eSIMs cannot be topped up. If no top-up is offered, you can buy a new plan. Read the top-up’s validity before paying; it does not automatically extend the original plan.
My eSIMsDo you sell unlimited data for India?
These are fixed-data plans, with allowances from 1 GB to 50 GB. We do not advertise them as unlimited. Choose a larger allowance if you expect to stream video or work online.
What if my eSIM does not connect in India?
Check that the eSIM is selected for mobile data and that its roaming settings match the order instructions. Confirm the plan has started and has data left. Contact support with your order reference if it still will not connect. Do not delete the eSIM while troubleshooting.
Contact supportCan I get a refund for an unused India plan?
Our 100% refund guarantee covers unused, unactivated plans that have not expired. Contact support with your order reference. Read the refund terms before buying.
