How much data do I need in the Philippines?

Match a plan to the length of your stay.

Quick answer

A short Manila stop fits 1 or 3 days at 1 GB a day. A week of island-hopping fits 7 days · 3 GB or 5 GB. Two weeks fits 15 days · 5 GB or 10 GB. A long stay with light use fits 30 days · 3 GB. There are no top-ups.

Which plan matches my trip?

Daily plans are 1 GB a day, for 1 or 3 days. Total-data plans are one allowance for the whole trip: 7 days · 3 GB, 7 days · 5 GB, 15 days · 5 GB, 15 days · 10 GB, or 30 days · 3 GB.

Plan days start when you install the eSIM. Each day ends at 11:59 PM Philippine time (GMT+8), including the first day, so pick one day more than your stay.

  • A short Manila stop: 1 or 3 days at 1 GB a day.
  • A week of island-hopping: 7 days · 3 GB or 5 GB.
  • Two weeks: 15 days · 5 GB or 10 GB.
  • A long stay with light use: 30 days · 3 GB.

What uses the data, and what does not work?

Maps, Grab, WhatsApp, and hotspot all use your allowance. WhatsApp calls work over this data. Hotspot is included and counts against the plan.

TikTok and most AI apps, such as ChatGPT, do not work on this eSIM. The plan is data only, with no phone number.

How can I make a smaller plan last?

  • Use hotel Wi-Fi for app updates and photo backup.
  • Download offline maps on Wi-Fi before a day out.
  • If you share a hotspot with a laptop, turn off that laptop’s automatic updates.
  • If you run out, buy a new plan. There are no top-ups.
