International eSIM Data Plans

An international eSIM is a digital version of a regular SIM. Installing one allows you to activate a mobile data plan without needing a physical SIM card. With a GigSky eSIM, worldwide travel is supported by our network of 400 partners across 200 countries and regions, 200+ cruise ships and 20+ airlines.

‍

With a GigSky eSIM card, international roaming is supported in over 190 countries. But our commitment to effortless eSIM plans doesn’t end there. You can also stay connected in the air and at sea by purchasing cruise,  inflight data plans and offshore data plans. 

‍

GigSky offers a free 100 MB eSIM international data plan to all new customers. No credit is required. Whether you want to test our GigSky or get comfortable with the eSIM service to avoid data roaming, our Free eSIM will provide you with cellular data in over 190 countries.

‍

The list is long, but the two primary benefits are convenience and efficiency. Because there’s no need for a physical SIM, you don’t need to worry about switching, losing, or damaging either your temporary or original card. Plus, eSIM carrier activation is straightforward, and network switching is automated for effortless connectivity. 

‍

Yes. Because GigSky provides you with a data-only eSIM, your phone number doesn’t change. So, you can stay logged into your usual messaging app accounts with uninterrupted access to your contacts and conversations. However, your home network provider may apply additional charges if you make or receive calls or send texts in your destination country without using internet-based apps like What’s App and Facebook Messenger.

GigSky offers a range of prepaid data plans ranging from 1GB to unlimited data. Ultimately, it’s simply a case of choosing the right plan for you based on your expected data usage while traveling abroad. If you need more data, you can purchase a top-up plan to extend your service at any time.  

‍

When you turn on notifications when you install your GigSky international data eSIM, you’ll receive alerts when you’re approaching a 0 MB balance and when your plan duration is about to expire. Please note that top-ups are valid from the purchase day rather than adding days to your original digital SIM plan. For example, if your plan expires on the 15th of the month, and you buy a 7-day top-up on the 12th, your new expiration date will be the 19th (12 plus 7).
