Laos travel data eSIM
What is a Laos eSIM?
Explore Vientiane’s Mekong riverside or Luang Prabang’s UNESCO heritage sites with data ready before you land. This Laos eSIM installs via QR code at home, so your phone is online the moment you arrive. It connects to local networks without needing a physical SIM swap, letting you navigate temples, markets, and transport hubs while keeping your existing number for calls and texts.
Your plan connects to Lao Telecom 5G networks. Validity begins on first connection in Laos, not purchase date. Data allows map navigation, translation apps, and ride-hailing services in urban centers. The plan is data-only, so voice calls use your home SIM. Check your phone settings to ensure the eSIM is active for data usage during your stay.

Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Laos
The eSIM connects to Lao Telecom 5G networks. Actual coverage depends on the operator’s infrastructure in your specific location. Urban areas like Vientiane typically have better network availability than remote rural zones. Check local network status upon arrival. If you move between regions, your device will connect to available Lao Telecom towers within range.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Laos eSIM use?
It connects to Lao Telecom 5G networks. This means you access the local infrastructure used by most residents. Your device will register on this network when you arrive in Laos, providing data access for navigation, messaging, and web browsing during your trip.
Does this eSIM work in Thailand or Vietnam?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in Laos. If you are traveling to neighboring countries like Thailand or Vietnam, you need a separate regional plan or individual eSIMs for each destination to ensure data connectivity.
Which plan size fits a trip to Vientiane and Luang Prabang?
As a rough guide, the 3GB or 5GB plans often suit a two-city itinerary. Consider your data habits for maps and social media. The 10GB option provides more buffer for heavy usage or longer stays in these popular tourist destinations.
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.
