An Asia eSIM Built for Multi-Country Trips
An Asia eSIM is a prepaid data plan for 20+ countries that lives on your phone, so a single eSIM can carry you from Japan to Sri Lanka. There's no SIM to swap at each border and no airport kiosk queue after a long flight.
It fits the way people actually travel in Asia: a gap-year loop through Cambodia and the Philippines, a work trip that hops between Taiwan and Macao, or a Qatar stopover on the way to Georgia. Pick a data size for the whole route rather than buying a new plan in every country.
You pay once, upfront, which helps you avoid daily roaming charges from your home carrier. Your home SIM stays active for calls and texts, while the eSIM handles maps, messaging and ride apps.
Asia eSIM Coverage in 20+ Countries
Asia eSIM connects to major local networks in each covered country, and your phone automatically connects to available supported partner networks when you cross a border. The list runs across East Asia (South Korea, China, Hong Kong), Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Indonesia and their neighbours), South Asia (India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh), Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan) and a few stops further west, including Israel and Kuwait.
Cities and main highways get the most dependable data. Signal thins out in high or remote country, so expect long gaps on trekking routes in the Himalayas, on boats deep among the islands of Halong Bay and on back roads in the Cameron Highlands. Download offline maps before those days.
Beach towns on Thailand's islands are generally well served, but ferry crossings between islands can drop out halfway across.
Hop from Thailand to Malaysia or fly from India to Nepal without buying a new SIM or hunting for a kiosk on arrival.
See how much data is left in your EscapeSIM dashboard before a long travel day, like an overnight bus or a flight between two countries.
Get a warning before you run low, then add more data in a few taps on plans that support top-ups.
Message 24/7 support if your eSIM won't connect after landing somewhere new, whatever the local time.

Why Travellers Choose Our Asia eSIM
One Plan for a Whole Route
The main Asia plan comes in sizes from 1 GB to 50 GB, with 7 to 30 days of validity. A two-week loop through several countries runs on one eSIM and one data balance.
The smallest sizes suit a short stopover with maps and messaging, while the sizes toward 50 GB cover a month of photo uploads and video calls.
Your data allowance is used wherever you are on the plan, so you don't have to guess how much you'll need in each country.
Unlimited Data on Narrower Routes
Streamers and heavy users can pick an unlimited-data plan instead. One covers 12 Asian countries and another covers 5 in Southeast Asia, both from a single day up to 30 days.
These plans include fewer countries than the main Asia plan, so check that every stop on your route is listed before you buy.
A one-day unlimited option is handy for a long layover when you want to stream or back up photos without counting megabytes.
Plans for Long Stays
Language courses, volunteering stints and slow travel need data that lasts. A 10-country Asia plan runs from 7 up to 60 days.
For people who live online, a 5-country plan bundles 300 GB over 30 days, enough for daily video meetings and cloud backups.
Staying in one corner of the region? A Greater China plan covers China, Hong Kong and Macao together.
A Fixed Cost Instead of Home Roaming
Travellers flying in from Australia and elsewhere often pay a daily roaming fee to their home carrier. A prepaid Asia eSIM swaps that for one upfront cost.
Turn off data roaming on your home SIM and set the eSIM as your data line, so your home carrier isn't used for data.
Because the plan is prepaid, the data side of your trip costs what you paid for it and nothing more.

Everyday Data Moments in Asia
These are the moments when having data on arrival saves time. Your eSIM handles them without a Wi-Fi hunt.
Bullet Train Days
Check seat reservations and connections while taking the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto, allowing for short gaps in tunnels.
River Journeys
Send photos home during a cruise along the Mekong River from Cambodia to Vietnam, though remote stretches of river can be quiet.
Getting Back from Day Trips
Book your ride back from the Great Wall of China and translate signs on the way using eSIM data.
One eSIM Across Asia's Borders
Your Asia eSIM stays ready to connect as you move from one covered country to the next. On arrival, your phone automatically connects to available supported partner networks, so there's no new SIM to buy at each airport.
Who Our Asia eSIM Suits
Book buses, ferries and hostels on the move as you work your way through Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.
Pull up maps, tickets and audio guides at Angkor Wat and the Taj Mahal on the same eSIM.
Answer email in the taxi after landing in Taiwan, Qatar or Kazakhstan instead of waiting for hotel Wi-Fi.
Base yourself near the rice terraces of Bali on a long-validity plan and join video calls where supported coverage is available.
Asia eSIM Questions
An Asia travel eSIM is a prepaid, data-only plan that installs on your phone and works across the covered countries in the region. You buy it online, install it before you leave and switch your data to it when you arrive, with no physical SIM to collect.
Yes. One eSIM works in every country included in your plan, so travelling from South Korea to Indonesia doesn't need a second plan. When you cross a border, your phone automatically connects to available supported partner networks in the next country. Keep Data Roaming switched on for the eSIM.
Maps, messaging, browsing and some social media come to roughly 0.5 GB a day, so a week of light use fits in a 5 GB plan. Video streaming and video calls use about 1 GB per hour, so plan bigger or go unlimited if you do either. Track usage in your EscapeSIM dashboard.
No. These are data-only plans with no new phone number. Your home SIM stays active, so you keep your usual number for calls and texts. To call people in Asia, use internet calling in apps like WhatsApp or LINE over your eSIM data.
For most trips, yes. Australian carriers usually charge a daily roaming fee, while a prepaid Asia eSIM is one upfront cost for your travel data. Install it before you fly, set it as your data line on arrival, and keep your Australian SIM on for calls and texts.
Start with your route. For several countries across the region, the main Asia plan covers the widest list. Heavy users staying in Southeast Asia or a smaller group of countries can go unlimited, long stays suit the 60-day option, and a trip only to China, Hong Kong and Macao fits the Greater China plan.
Yes. Your phone has to support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models support eSIM. If you bought your phone on a contract, ask your carrier to confirm it is unlocked before you travel.
It depends on your route and how much data you use. A multi-country trip suits the main Asia plan, heavy users can choose an unlimited regional plan, and long stays fit the longer-validity options. Every plan is prepaid, with a usage dashboard and 24/7 support.
