eSIM by countryThe best eSIM for the Philippines
With more than seven thousand islands, coverage can vary hugely from one island to the next. For island-hopping between, say, Cebu, Palawan and Siargao, an eSIM with wide network coverage is essential.
Practical tips
- Globe and Smart are the two largest networks, coverage varies by island, check this specifically for your route
- On remote islands and during typhoon season (June-November), connectivity can drop out, plan for this
- For domestic flights and inter-island ferries, a data connection is handy for checking tickets and weather updates
