Thanks to our recent partnership with Panasonic Avionics subsidiary, AeroMobile, you can now experience on-demand, inflight connectivity straight from the GigSky app.
It's easy to connect.
Available on select airlines and flights around the world. Don't forget to purchase a plan for your destination too!
Yes. By offering local network coverage at affordable prices, the cost of a GigSky plan usually equates to a fraction of your typical data roaming fee.
You bet. GigSky international eSIM cards are versatile across various devices, including iPhones, certain Android smartphones, tablets, and even smartwatches. You can view a complete list of compatible devices here.
GigSky offers a free 100MB 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.
Most modern smartphones are eSIM compatible, provided your phone is unlocked for international use. However, some older devices may not support international or worldwide eSIM technology. Click here to check compatibility.
After turning on notifications during installation of your GigSky international data eSIM, you’ll receive alerts when you’re approaching a 0MB 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).
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 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.
Yes! At GigSky, we’re dedicated to providing high-quality, reliable network coverage so you don't have to rely on Wi-Fi hotspots.
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 your temporary eSIM or original SIM card. Plus, eSIM carrier activation is straightforward, and network switching is automated for effortless connectivity.
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.
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.
Double-check your mobile device is running the latest version of the operating system and that your eSIM is turned on and selected for cellular data. If you’re sure your settings are correct and still experiencing problems, contact the GigSky Support team at help@gigsky.com.
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 WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.
No activation needed, it kicks in automatically once you're in Thailand. That said, we recommend installing the eSIM before you leave home while you still have a stable Wi-Fi connection. That way, you step off the plane already connected.
Download the GigSky app on your phone. Tap the Visa banner inside the app. Enter your Visa card number to confirm your eligibility. Once confirmed, all your available benefits will appear. Redeem them whenever you're ready before your trip.
Once you're verified, your 20% or 30% discount is automatically applied at checkout whenever you purchase additional data plans. You'll see it reflected in the price, no codes, no extra steps. And it never expires as long as you remain an eligible cardholder: the discount applies to every future plan purchase, no matter how many plans you buy.
Visa Infinite card (consumer or commercial, including Canadian Visa Infinite Privilege): 7 days of unlimited data + 30% off any extra plans you need. All other Visa consumer and commercial cards (including debit and prepaid): 3 days of unlimited data + 20% off additional plans.
Coverage is solid across the country, including popular destinations like Phuket, Koh Samui, Chiang Mai, and Pai. Because GigSky operates as a mobile network operator with multiple Thai carrier partnerships, you're not locked to a single network's weak spots.
Not at all, you keep both. You can use your existing global data plan and your new destinations benefit independently. To see the full list of benefits by country, please go here.
Yes. Each eligible card carries its own benefit independently, so if you hold, say, an eligible Visa Infinite and an eligible standard Visa, you can redeem from both.
The complimentary plan doesn't extend to cruise connectivity, but your 20% or 30% discount does apply to GigSky cruise plans. That's worth knowing, because GigSky is the only eSIM that covers both sea days (290+ cruise ships) and port days, so your discount goes further than it would with most providers.
Yes. It covers the entire country, from Bangkok to the Gulf of Thailand islands, the northern highlands, and everywhere in between.
Yes, you get 3.5 GB of high-speed data every day, the highest daily cap among unlimited eSIM providers. Once you hit that, speeds slow down until your allowance resets at the 24-hour mark. For most trips, you'll never notice the difference.
Starting April 1, 2026, your Visa card unlocks a complimentary GigSky eSIM data plan whenever you travel to one of Visa's destinations (the UK, France, the UAE, the US, and Thailand). Skip the roaming charges and the hunt for a local SIM.
The benefit is available in the United Kingdom, France, the UAE, the United States, and Thailand. Visa will continue to add new destinations over time, and your benefit will automatically update to include them, no action is required on your end.
Your phone automatically connects to the strongest available network among AIS, dtac, TriNet, and TrueMove, all supporting 4G and 5G.
