Philippines eSIM for travellers
Data in Philippines, from the moment you land
Manila, Cebu, Palawan or Boracay: get data on arrival for Grab, island transfers and maps, without a local SIM registration.
Choose your plan
Unlimited: 2 GB a day at full speed, then up to 512 kbps for the rest of the day.
Prices will be shown at launch. Leave your email at checkout and we'll tell you the day we open.
Good to know
Install before you fly
Install it at home on Wi-Fi. It stays off until you switch it on for data at your destination.
Keep your own SIM
Your usual SIM stays in for calls and texts. Set the Veela eSIM as your line for mobile data.
Help when you're there
The assistant answers in your language at any hour, and a person picks up anything it can't fix.
Tips for Philippines
- Island hopping in Palawan and Siargao means hours without signal; download maps and bookings first.
- Grab works in Manila and Cebu; elsewhere, tricycles and local transport are mostly cash.
- Coverage is best in cities and resort areas, and can be thin on remote islands.
Philippines eSIM questions
Does it work in El Nido and Coron?
Yes in town, with gaps on boat tours and remote beaches.
Do I need to register a SIM in the Philippines?
Local SIM cards must be registered. A roaming travel eSIM doesn't need local registration.
When does the plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Philippines. Installing it at home doesn't start the clock.
Is my phone compatible?
Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number and your phone is unlocked, it works. See the compatibility checker for common models.
Can I top up?
Yes. From your account, add data to the same eSIM without reinstalling it.
