Can I make calls and send texts?

Most plans are data only: keep your own SIM active for calls and texts, or use WhatsApp, FaceTime and similar apps over the eSIM data.

What if I run out of data?

Top up from the link in your email in a few taps. Top-ups are added to the eSIM already on your phone, nothing to reinstall.

Do I need a travel authorisation as well?

Most visitors to Thailand do. Our destination page checks whether you need one and takes you through the application.

Frequently asked questions

When the eSIM first connects to a network in Thailand, not when you buy or install it. Install at home and it waits until you land.
