A Tourist’s Guide to Globe’s Traveler eSIM in the Philippines

Looking for a prepaid eSIM for your trip to the Philippines? Check out Globe’s Traveler eSIM for instant connectivity the moment you land. No more frantic searching for SIM card vendors and no fumbling with tiny plastic cards. Instead, you can easily share your island-hopping adventures, navigate bustling markets, and stay in touch with loved ones back home. Discover why this travel tech upgrade is essential for your next adventure in the country.

Why Globe’s Traveler eSIM is Perfect for Tourists

Globe's prepaid Traveler eSIM is a convenient and affordable choice for tourists in the Philippines. Here’s why: 

 

  •  It has wide coverage and high speed.

    A strong connection is vital when island hopping from Manila to Cebu to Palawan, or even when exploring stunning Mindanao. The Traveler eSIM delivers lightning-fast data with its extensive 5G and LTE coverage nationwide. 

  • It has a generous data cap.

    You won't need to worry about running out of data just because you watched an episode of your favorite show, whether it’s on Netflix, Disney+, or any other streaming service. Globe Traveler eSIM offers a generous 80 GB data plan for ₱1,750, or just $30 for 30 days.

  • You get unlimited calls and texts.

    Globe’s Traveler eSIM comes with a local mobile number, which is not always the case for virtual SIMs. It allows you to make local calls and send texts without extra charges. Plus, it makes it easy for Filipino friends to contact you.

What to Check Before Buying a Digital SIM

You can set up Globe Traveler eSIM before arriving in the Philippines. Before you buy, make sure to check for these three things:

 

  • Device compatibility: Download the GlobeOne app then look for the section related to eSIMs. It should automatically check if your phone is eSIM-compatible. You can also check your phone's Settings or SIM Manager for digital SIM slots.
  • Carrier lock: Make sure your eSIM-compatible phone is not locked to a specific carrier. If it is, it won't be able to connect to Globe.
  • Stable internet connection: A virtual SIM requires WiFi or cellular data to purchase and set up.
