GigSky eSIM 2026: Travel Plans, Prices & Data By Country

Yes, GigSky offers 206 regional plans and 32 global plans, as well as single-country plans. Regional plans cover North America, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and Oceania.

Global plans work in up to 176 countries and start at $6.99. If you're visiting several countries, one regional or global eSIM is simpler than buying a plan for each.

GigSky plans start at $2.99 for unlimited data valid for 1 day in St. Martin. Right now, the best price per GB is $0.53, on the 50 GB Thailand plan for 180 days ($26.39).

Prices depend on the country, the amount of data and the number of days. We check prices daily, so these figures are up to date. Sort the table above by price or by price per GB to compare.

Yes, if your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked. GigSky works on iPhone XS, XR and newer, many Samsung Galaxy S and Z models, many Google Pixels and iPads. Most iPhones sold in mainland China don't support eSIM.

To check your exact model, see GigSky's list of compatible devices.

You can buy and manage plans in the GigSky app for iPhone and Android, or in the GigSky web app.

No, GigSky plans are data only, with no phone number and no regular calls or SMS.

For calls and messages, use WhatsApp, FaceTime or iMessage. Your own SIM stays in your phone, so calls and texts to your usual number still reach you, though your carrier may charge you for roaming.

GigSky has plans for 193 countries and territories. To see the plans for your destination, choose it under Filters next to the plans.

Yes, on most plans you can add more data to the same GigSky eSIM. Open the GigSky app (My Plans → Top Up) or the web app, and the data is added right away.

A top-up doesn't add days to your current plan. Its days count from the day you buy it, and it only works in the same coverage area.

If a plan has no Top Up button, buy a new plan for the same eSIM instead.

Yes, GigSky allows hotspot on all plans and says it's unlimited and works with any devices. It names no device limit.

Data your other devices use comes out of the same plan. On unlimited plans, it counts toward the same 3.5 GB of full-speed data a day.

Sometimes: GigSky decides each refund case by case, based on the problem and whether you used the plan. There's no automatic right to a refund, but if the eSIM never worked, there's no deadline to ask.

In the app or web app, tap your initials, go to Transaction History, open your purchase and choose Request Refund.

Depending on the purchase, the money goes back to your card in 5–7 business days or arrives right away as GigSky Credit. Unused data isn't refunded.

Yes, you can buy a GigSky eSIM in advance: you get a full year to install it after purchase.

The plan starts when your phone first connects to a supported network in a place the plan covers. GigSky suggests installing it the day before or the day you fly, over Wi-Fi, and keeping the eSIM off until you land.

Regional, global and cruise plans can start on installation if you're already in their coverage area.

Not quite: GigSky's unlimited plans give you 3.5 GB of full-speed data a day. After that, speed drops until your day resets, but you're never cut off or charged extra.

The reset comes 24 hours after you activated the plan, not at midnight. GigSky doesn't give the slower speed, but says messaging, maps and browsing still work while streaming slows down.

Unlimited plans are for personal use only.

Unlimited plans start at $2.99.
