A pack card is for several countries and a country card for one. Open a card to see every plan and, for the pack, the list of countries it covers.
Why an Asia eSIM suits a route with borders
One eSIM, several countries
The Asia pack covers the countries on its list under one eSIM, so a cheap flight to the next country does not mean a new SIM card.
No SIM card queue on arrival
The eSIM is emailed once payment clears and installed at home on Wi-Fi, so you land already set up.
Plans from short to long
Cards show their days. Validity starts when the eSIM first connects abroad, not on the day you buy.
Hotspot where the plan allows
Share data with a laptop in a hostel or a train. The plan card says when hotspot is included.
Your own number stays active
Calls, texts and one-time passwords still reach your normal SIM while the eSIM carries data.
Top up the same eSIM
Extend the trip without a new QR code: buy another plan and keep the profile already on your phone.
Asia pack or a plan for each country?
A route that hops borders, such as Thailand, then Vietnam, then Singapore, is what a region pack is for: one eSIM, one balance of data and no new install at the next airport. If most of the trip is in one country, say two weeks in Japan with a day elsewhere, that country's own plan is the cleaner choice, and its page lists every length on offer.
Pick by counting the countries where you will actually spend nights, and read the pack's list for each. A region pack's idea of Asia is the catalogue's, not a map's, so the list on its page, not the name, is the thing to trust.
Southeast Asia, East Asia and Bali
People search for a Southeast Asia eSIM, a South East Asia eSIM or just an Asia eSIM and usually mean the same trip: a few countries, a few weeks, a lot of maps and messaging. The cards above show the Asia pack beside plans for Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, so you can set one against the other for your dates.
Bali is part of Indonesia, so a Bali eSIM is the Indonesia plan; the Indonesia and Bali link below goes there. The Thailand, Japan and Vietnam pages are linked too, for trips that stay in one country.
Choosing days and data across Asia
Count the days from your first landing to your last departure and leave a day spare. Maps, messaging and email use little data, while video calls, streaming and tethering a laptop use a lot, so size the plan to the heaviest day, not the average one.
Unlimited plans can slow after an allowance. The fair-use note is printed on the plan's own page; read it before you choose one for a long trip.
Set it up before the first flight
Choose the pack or the country
Compare the cards, then open the pack and check that each country on your route is on its list.
Install on Wi-Fi at home
Tap the install button in the email on the phone it is for, or scan the QR code from another screen.
Connect when you land
Choose the eSIM for mobile data on arrival. The plan starts when it first connects to a network abroad.

Does your phone support an eSIM?
Dial *#06# on your keypad. If the panel that opens lists an EID, your phone is eSIM-ready. It works on iPhone and Android, takes about ten seconds, and nothing leaves your device.
Not listed? Dial *#06# — if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. See the full list
No EID? The phone takes a physical SIM only, and a travel eSIM will not work on it. If the EID is there but your handset came from a carrier, check it is not network-locked before you buy.

Ask on WhatsAppThe best Asia eSIM is the one whose country list covers your route and whose days and data fit your trip. Compare the Asia pack with the single-country plans on the cards above, and open the pack to read its list before you buy.
Yes, when every country is on the Asia pack's list. One pack is one eSIM that stays connected as you cross between those countries. For a stop the list leaves out, buy that country's own plan as well. Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before you fly, and the plan starts when it first connects abroad.
The Asia pack is the multi-country option, and its page lists the countries it covers, so check Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and any other stop by name. Single-country plans for the popular ones are on the cards above, so you can compare the pack with each country's own plan.
No. Bali is part of Indonesia, so the Indonesia plan is the plan for Bali. If your trip is Bali and nothing else, open the Indonesia page and choose the length that fits; if it continues to other countries, compare the Asia pack.
Count the days from your first landing to your last departure and add a day. Plans start counting when the eSIM first connects abroad, so a plan bought early does not run down at home. You can top up on the same eSIM if the trip extends.
Only if the plan allows it. Each plan card and plan page shows whether hotspot is included, so check before you buy if you will share data with a laptop or tablet. Where it is included, use your phone's personal hotspot.
