Gibraltar travel data eSIM
What is a Gibraltar eSIM?
Gibraltar is a compact British Overseas Territory defined by the Rock and its strategic strait. A CometSIM eSIM gives you immediate data access upon arrival, connecting to local networks without needing a physical SIM swap. It is ideal for navigating the dense town area or planning excursions near the Spanish border. Install the profile at home, and it activates only when you first connect in Gibraltar, ensuring you are online from the moment you land.
Your plan connects to GibTel 5G networks. Data validity begins on your first connection within Gibraltar. This setup suits short stays or longer visits, with options ranging from 1GB for quick trips to 20GB for heavier usage. The eSIM runs alongside your existing SIM, allowing you to maintain your usual number for calls while using the data plan for internet access throughout your time in the territory.

Which networks you connect to in Gibraltar

As Gibraltar is a small area, connectivity is generally consistent in populated zones. Always check your device settings to ensure the eSIM is selected for data when you arrive at the Rock.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Gibraltar eSIM use?
The plan connects to GibTel 5G, the local network provider in Gibraltar. This means your data traffic is routed through their infrastructure, ensuring you are using the primary service available in the territory for your mobile internet needs.
Does this eSIM work in Spain?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in Gibraltar. If you are traveling to neighboring Spain as well, you should look for a regional plan that includes both territories to ensure continuous data access across the border.
Which plan size suits a trip to the Old Town and the Rock?
As a rough guide, 3GB or 5GB is often sufficient for a standard visit involving maps and social media. Heavier users who stream video or use data-intensive apps might prefer the 10GB option for a more comfortable experience.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
