Networks used by Phuket eSIMs
Each plan connects to the networks listed on its page, so you choose your carrier before you buy. Coverage varies by area: a listed network does not guarantee signal everywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use free Wi-Fi at Phuket Airport to set up my eSIM?
Yes. Phuket International Airport has a free network, @ Airport Free Wi-Fi by NT: connect, enter your email address, accept the terms and you get 60 minutes of internet, enough to download an eSIM profile you have already bought. Installing at home is still easier, because you can then head straight for your taxi or bus without stopping to find a signal in arrivals.

What is the cheapest eSIM for Phuket?
The cheapest plan that works in Phuket is a multi-country one: $3.49 for 3 GB, valid for 7 days. The cheapest plan for Phuket alone is 5 GB for 30 days at $5.49. Prices come live from 7 vetted providers and change often.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for Phuket?
For most travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Phuket plans start at $3.49 for 3 GB, and the longest lasts 365 days, which suits long stays and repeat visits. If your home plan already covers Phuket at no extra cost, you may not need one.
Which networks do Phuket eSIMs use?
Phuket eSIMs on MobiMatter run on AIS, TrueMove H, and dtac; 5G plans are available on AIS, TrueMove H, and dtac. AIS carries the most plans. Each plan names its network, so you choose your carrier before you buy.
Which eSIM is best for Phuket?
For Phuket alone, our top plan right now is 50 GB for 10 days at $9.99 from True. If Phuket is one stop of several, the top multi-country plan is 30 GB for 30 days at $14.99 from Three Hong Kong, covering 3 countries.
How much data do I need for a week in Phuket?
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 Phuket plan with at least 5 GB for a week or longer is 5 GB for 15 days at $4.99.
Do Phuket eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
5G is available on 31 plans for Phuket, 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 Phuket eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most Phuket 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 Phuket 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 Phuket 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.

It is the modern version of the Banana Pancake Trail, where travelers land in Singapore, island-hop through Bali, land in Bangkok, and finish along Vietnam's coast in Da Nang, all inside one trip. The route has existed for decades, but the way tra...
