Common Questions

The details worth knowing about your Philippines eSIM

Your eSIM connects to Globe, Smart, and DITO networks. Globe and Smart have extensive 4G and 5G coverage nationwide, including rural areas. DITO is newer and lacks 3G or 2G, so if you lose 4G or 5G signal, you will have no fallback on that network.

Yes, the 700 MHz band (B28) is widely used for rural and indoor coverage. Many foreign phones, especially older US and European models, lack B28 support. Without it, you may have weaker signal inside buildings and in provincial areas, though cities should still work on other bands.

It works on the major islands served by Globe and Smart, including Palawan and Boracay. Coverage drops quickly once you are more than a few kilometres offshore. The eSIM does not cover neighbouring countries — it stops at the Philippine border. No roaming to Taiwan, Malaysia, or Indonesia is included.

No content filtering or throttling is applied by the eSIM provider. However, the local networks may deprioritise roaming traffic during congestion, which can slow speeds below the median 28.84 Mbps. Video streaming and large downloads may be slower during peak hours in busy areas.

No. eSIMs sold to travellers are pre-registered under the provider's licence. You do not need to show your passport or register your identity. This is different from physical SIM cards bought locally, which require mandatory registration under Philippine law.
