Which plan do I need?
- Messaging, maps and email use little data, so a smaller plan suits a short trip if that’s mostly what you do.
- Video calls, social media and streaming use much more: choose a larger or unlimited plan if you use them every day.
- Count the days you’ll be away, including travel days, and pick a plan that lasts at least that long.
- Not sure? Plans marked “Top-ups available” can be extended on the same eSIM if you run low.
Installing your India eSIM
As soon as your eSIM is ready you’ll get a QR code and an install link by email. Install it while you’re on Wi-Fi, ideally the day before you travel, then choose it for mobile data when you land.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an eSIM for India cost?
Plans start at £1.39 for 500 MB over 1 day. Prices are shown in GBP and include VAT where applicable.
Which networks does the India eSIM use?
It uses Bharti Airtel (UP East IND10), Bharti Airtel India (Andhra Pradesh INDJH), Bharti Airtel India (Assam IND15) and 47 other networks. Your phone connects to the strongest available partner network.
Does the India eSIM support 5G?
Yes. Plans marked “Up to 5G” use 5G where the local network offers it.
How long do India eSIM plans last?
You can choose plans lasting 1 to 30 days. The validity starts the first time your phone connects to a network in India, not when you buy.
When does my plan start?
The validity period starts the first time your phone connects to a network in India. You can install the eSIM days before you travel.
Can I keep my usual number?
Yes. The eSIM is for data. Keep your usual SIM switched on for calls and texts if you need them, and turn its data roaming off to avoid charges from your home provider.
Can I get a refund?
If you have not activated the eSIM (it has never connected to a network), you can request a refund from your account. Once a plan has been used it cannot be refunded.
What if I run out of data?
Plans that support top-ups can be extended from My eSIMs with the same plan; the data is added to the eSIM you already installed.
Will it work on my phone?
Your phone needs to support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Use our compatibility checker before you buy.
