Philippines eSIM FAQs
Our Philippines travel eSIM is strictly for data; it doesn’t come with a phone number or traditional call/SMS service. Use an internet calling app if you need voice communication.
No, our Philippines eSIMs only deliver mobile data. For voice or SMS, you’ll need to use an app that works over data - WhatsApp, Skype, or other similar internet calling platforms.
Connectivity Troubleshooting: Check our troubleshooting guide if your eSIM won’t connect. Still stuck? Hit up our support team and we’ll get you back online fast.
eSIM Installation Help: For help setting up your eSIM, visit our installation guide, or simply contact us - we’re happy to assist.
Other Inquiries: Have another issue? Head to our contact page and we’ll respond ASAP.
Your eSIM will activate automatically when you land in Philippines. However, we recommend installing the Philippines Travel eSIM beforehand (activation happens on arrival).
Simply scan the QR code provided or install the eSIM via the ZenSim app while on WiFi. Once you touch down in Philippines, the eSIM will go live.
Trouble activating? See our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us for help ☺️
Definitely. In the ZenSim app, log in, and you’ll find top-up options on the main screen below your plan details.
Pick the extension that suits you - whether you need more days or more data, and complete the purchase to keep roaming freely.
Not exactly. Once your Philippines eSIM is active, it’s tied to that country.
If you're visiting more than one place, our regional Travel eSIMs offer broader coverage so you can roam freely across multiple destinations.
Of course! At ZenSim, we offer eSIMs that support over 200+ countries, including Philippines. On top of this we also provide regional eSIMs which cover multiple countries within one eSIM, please see our Travel eSIMs page for more info on these.
Yes! Your Philippines eSIM can be installed as early as 30 days before you travel. It won’t start until you touch down in Philippines.
Installing beforehand means no setup stress on arrival, and it won’t use any data or days until you land.
If you get an activation warning on iPhone when installing before arriving, that’s normal - check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for details.
Data and plan days only kick in when you arrive in Philippines. Installing earlier just prepares it for activation which happens automatically when you arrive in Philippines.
Install over WiFi before your trip to get connected from the minute you touch down.
If you have trouble connecting, see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or message us for assistance.
Using a travel eSIM trumps roaming in Philippines - here’s a quick rundown:
Significant Savings: Pay local Philippines rates instead of exorbitant roaming prices set by your home carrier.
Convenient Switching: No swapping SIM cards - manage everything digitally from your phone settings.
Usage Clarity: Get real-time updates on data consumption, so you never get billed for data you didn’t need.
Your Philippines travel eSIM kicks in as soon as you arrive in Philippines - provided it was installed beforehand.
If you install it after you land, it should start working right away.
If you run into trouble, see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or get in touch with us.
