Discover Plans

If you're looking for an affordable way to use your cellphone when travelling around the world, you can get a Discover eSIM from only US$9 for 7 days usage.

To get a Discover eSIM, you'll need to have an eSIM-compatible device such as the iPhone 11, Galaxy S20, Pixel 3 or later devices. You can then order your Discover eSIM through the Airalo app with instant delivery direct to your phone. There's no need to queue at the airport or to register the Discover eSIM with your ID, saving you lots of time.

There are two different types of Discover eSIM plan that you're able to choose from on Airalo:

  • Discover eSIM: Get the standard Discover eSIM if you only need data on your plan. With this eSIM, you'll still be able to make voice-over-IP calls (e.g. using WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger).
  • Discover+ eSIM: This will also allow you to make and receive phone calls and SMS text messages directly on your eSIM. You'll get a new phone number based in Austria (starting with +43) assigned to your eSIM for this purpose.

If you're only planning to visit one country on your trip, it may be cheaper to get a country-specific eSIM instead. This will normally be available at a slightly lower price than the Discover eSIM.

Other Airalo eSIMs

Airalo's Discover eSIM can be used in 134 countries around the world. However, this might be overkill if you only need to use your eSIM in a certain country or region, as cheaper options may also be available.

Regional eSIMs

The following regional eSIMs are also available from Airalo, covering other parts of the world:

Country Specific eSIMs

You can also buy country-specific eSIMs from Airalo, including the following:

    • Hi Catherine,
      Thank you for your comment. Yes, it should be possible to access Western apps such as Google Maps using an Airalo eSIM for China. Having said that, do be aware that Google Maps does not work very well in China for a number of other reasons that are unrelated to the eSIM (e.g. outdated data, GPS offsetting, etc).
      Hope this helps,
      Ken

  • Hi Ken
    Love this site!
    I’m off to South Africa in Feb 24 and I have a EE contract, they however do not cover that Country in their Data Roaming, what is the best way I can use my phone over there please?
    Get a sim when I land or do you know any other deals
    Thanks
    Richard
