Philippines eSIM FAQs
Once you arrive in Philippines, your eSIM activates automatically if it’s already installed.
If you install it after arriving, the eSIM will activate and begin working immediately.
For any setup or connection problems, refer to our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact our support.
Yes it can. Nearly all ZenSim eSIMs support top ups inside the app. You can boost your data, add extra days, or attach a new country to the same eSIM from the Zen Garden in only a few steps.
Just log into the app, open the Zen Garden, and you’ll find the top up control ready to use.
Top up choices: The Philippines top ups match the plans on our website, just with an extra 10% off.
If you're travelling longer than 30 days: You can purchase multiple top ups in advance. They only activate once the current plan finishes, so nothing overwrites your existing eSIM.
If your trip includes several destinations: Many of our eSIMs support multi country top ups. For example, you can add Dubai to a Europe eSIM and it will activate the moment you arrive without reinstalling anything.
No, these eSIMs only provide data access and do not assign you a phone number. To make calls, please use internet - enabled apps such as WhatsApp or FaceTime.
These eSIMs don’t include voice minutes - data only. For any calling or texting, you’ll need to rely on VoIP or messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Viber, or Messenger.
After activation in Philippines, your eSIM won’t usually work elsewhere. Each country typically needs its own eSIM unless you're using a regional one.
To make travel easier, try one of our regional Travel eSIMs - they work across entire continents.
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 ☺️
Very true! Not only that, you can refer as many people as you like to buy our Philippines eSIM, you'll earn a A$5 voucher for each referral - and they will also save A$5 on their order.
There's a couple of things to be aware of, firstly they have to be a new customer for this to apply, and you as the referrer can only use one A$5 voucher per order if you happen to refer a whole lot of friends.
You can view your referral performance and grab your referral URL in the ZenSim app. Visit our terms for more info.
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.
Of course. You can install your Philippines eSIM up to 30 days before departure. Once you arrive, it will activate automatically.
Installing early won’t use any data or start your plan until you arrive in Philippines.
If your iPhone shows an activation error during pre-install, you can ignore often it - refer to our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for help.
No, your plan only starts upon landing in Philippines. Installing beforehand ensures you’re ready to go as the activation will happen automatically.
You’ll need WiFi for installation, so do it before departure and this way you will be connected as soon as you arrive.
If you run into any issues, our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide can help, or contact us directly.
