Why Choose SimCorner for Your Philippines Trip?
In the Philippines, the SIM Registration Act requires all users—including tourists—to register physical SIM cards with a passport, proof of address, and a return ticket before activation. SimCorner helps you bypass the long airport queues and complex registration portals.
- Instant Digital Delivery: Receive your eSIM QR code via email immediately after purchase.
- Top-Tier Networks: Enjoy seamless connectivity with automatic switching between Globe and Smart, the country’s leading 5G/4G providers.
- No Roaming Bills: 100% prepaid. No hidden fees or "bill shock" when you return home.
- Keep Your WhatsApp: Keep your original number for WhatsApp, Viber, and iMessage while using our high-speed data for everything else.
Choose Your Perfect eSIM Philippines Data Plan
Match your data usage to your island-hopping itinerary.
| Plan Category | Best For | Network |
| The Power User | Work, HD Streaming, & Hotspot | 5G Unlimited |
| The Casual Explorer | Google Maps, Uber, & Social Media | 1-50GB High Speed |
| The Long-Stayer | 30+ Day trips across multiple cities | 20GB (31 Days) |
Pro Tip for the Philippines: Reliable data is a lifesaver for booking Grab (the local Uber), using GCash for digital payments, and navigating ferry schedules between islands where public Wi-Fi is rarely available.
How to Set Up Your Philippines eSIM (Before You Land)
Setting up your connection is simple and can be done before you even board your flight.
- Purchase: Select your plan and receive your eSIM QR code instantly via email.
- Scan & Install: Go to your phone settings and scan the QR code. We recommend doing this while you still have Wi-Fi (at home or at the departure airport).
- Connect on Arrival: Once your plane touches down in the Philippines (Manila, Cebu, Clark, etc.), turn on "Data Roaming" for your SimCorner eSIM. You will be online in seconds.
➤ Bonus Tip? Download the SimCorner App to make the steps from purchase to activation easier.
