How much does an eSIM for Laos cost?
+
Plans for Laos start at $1.58 — that is 500 MB for 1 day. A 10 GB plan for 30 days costs $15.57.
Which plan should I choose for a trip?
+
For a trip of a few days, 1–7 day packs are enough: for example, 1 GB for 7 days at $2.51. For two weeks or longer, 30-day packs are more convenient: 3 GB — $6.38, 5 GB — $9.11, 10 GB — $15.57, 20 GB — $28.58.
When should I install the eSIM — before the trip to Laos or after landing?
+
It is easier to install the eSIM at home, while you have Wi-Fi: the QR code arrives right after payment. Turn it on for mobile data once you are in Laos. If a plan has a special rule for when the period starts, it is shown on the plan card.
Will I keep my number, WhatsApp and Telegram?
+
Yes. An eSIM only provides mobile data, and your main SIM stays in the phone: calls and SMS to your number keep coming in while it is enabled. Messengers keep the same account and number.
Can one eSIM be used in several countries?
+
Yes. Laos is in the regional pack “Asia” (14 countries, from $1.20). One eSIM works in every country in the pack.
Will my phone work?
+
The phone must support eSIM and must not be locked to a carrier. Most iPhones from the XS on, Google Pixels and Samsung flagships support eSIM — check the settings for an “Add eSIM” item.
Can I share the internet from the eSIM?
+
That depends on the pack and the local network. Where sharing is supported, you can share data with a laptop or another phone — the terms are on the plan card.
