Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest eSIM for Laos?
The cheapest plan that works in Laos is a multi-country one: $3.99 for 1 GB, valid for 14 days. The cheapest plan for Laos alone is 1 GB for 7 days at $3.99. Prices come live from 6 vetted providers and change often.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for Laos?
For most travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Laos plans start at $3.99 for 1 GB, and the longest lasts 365 days, which suits long stays and repeat visits. If your home plan already covers Laos at no extra cost, you may not need one.
Which networks do Laos eSIMs use?
Laos eSIMs on MobiMatter run on ETL, LaoTel, and LTC; 5G plans are available on LaoTel. ETL carries the most plans. Each plan names its network, so you choose your carrier before you buy.
Which eSIM is best for Laos?
For Laos alone, our top plan right now is 1 GB for 7 days at $3.99 from RoamVault. If Laos is one stop of several, the top multi-country plan is 30 GB for 30 days at $26.99 from TSimTech, covering 15 countries. If price per GB is all that matters, the lowest right now is $0.90 per GB, with 30 GB for 30 days.
How much data do I need for a week in Laos?
It depends on how you use your phone. Light use (maps, messaging, browsing) takes about 0.5–1 GB a day; scrolling a lot of social video can take 2–3 GB or more. Typical use per hour:
- Instagram Reels, TikTok: 0.3–1 GB
- YouTube, Netflix at standard quality: 0.5–1 GB
- Video calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime): 0.5–1 GB
- Voice calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime Audio): 50–70 MB
- Maps and navigation: 2–6 MB
- Messaging and browsing: 50–150 MB
The cheapest Laos plan with at least 5 GB for a week or longer is 5 GB for 15 days at $7.49.
Do Laos eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
5G is available on 6 plans for Laos, where the local network has 5G coverage; the others use 4G/LTE. Hotspot (tethering) works on every plan, so you can share your data with other devices.
Does a Laos eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most Laos plans, are data-only and have no local number. You keep your usual number on your main SIM for calls, texts and WhatsApp. Plans that include a number or minutes say so on the plan page.
Will my phone work with a Laos eSIM?
Yes, if it supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. To check, dial *#06#: if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. Most iPhones from the XS/XR on, Galaxy S20 and later and Pixel 3 and later do, except most models sold in mainland China and some sold in Hong Kong and Macao.
Can I keep my own SIM and WhatsApp while using a Laos eSIM?
Yes. Your eSIM and your main SIM can be active at the same time. Use the eSIM for mobile data with data roaming on for that line, and turn data roaming off on your home SIM to avoid charges. WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number.

The cheapest eSIM app I’ve found so far. I thought I had made a mistake while installing the eSIM, so I contacted customer support. They replied to my email within just 3 minutes and helped me right away. I also had no problems with the internet connection. Overall, a great experience!
