FAQs

What is an international eSIM and how does it work?

An international eSIM is a digital version of a regular SIM. Installing one allows you to activate a mobile data plan without needing a physical SIM card. With a GigSky eSIM, worldwide travel is supported by our network of 400 partners across 200 countries and regions, 200+ cruise ships and 20+ airlines.

What countries does GigSky work in?

With a GigSky eSIM card, international roaming is supported in over 190 countries. But our commitment to effortless eSIM plans doesn’t end there. You can also stay connected in the air and at sea by purchasing cruise,  inflight data plans and offshore data plans

How Does Your Free eSIM plan work?

GigSky offers a free 100MB eSIM international data plan to all new customers. No credit is required. Whether you want to test our GigSky or get comfortable with the eSIM service to avoid data roaming, our free eSIM will provide you with cellular data in over 190 countries.

What benefits does an international eSIM card offer?

The list is long, but the two primary benefits are convenience and efficiency. Because there’s no need for a physical SIM, you don’t need to worry about switching, losing, or damaging your temporary eSIM or original SIM card. Plus, eSIM carrier activation is straightforward, and network switching is automated for effortless connectivity. 

Will my home phone number still work with an international eSIM?

Yes. Because GigSky provides you with a data-only eSIM, your phone number doesn’t change. So, you can stay logged into your usual messaging app accounts with uninterrupted access to your contacts and conversations. However, your home network provider may apply additional charges if you make or receive calls or send texts in your destination country without using internet-based apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.

How much data do I get with GigSky’s international eSIM plans?

GigSky offers a range of prepaid data plans ranging from 1GB to unlimited data. Ultimately, it’s simply a case of choosing the right plan based on your expected data usage while traveling abroad. If you need more data, you can purchase a top-up plan to extend your service at any time.  

How do I top up my international eSIM?

After turning on notifications during installation of your GigSky international data eSIM, you’ll receive alerts when you’re approaching a 0MB balance and when your plan duration is about to expire. Please note that top-ups are valid from the purchase day rather than adding days to your original digital SIM plan. For example, if your plan expires on the 15th of the month, and you buy a 7-day top-up on the 12th, your new expiration date will be the 19th (12 plus 7).

Is GigSky internet and network coverage reliable?

Yes! At GigSky, we’re dedicated to providing high-quality, reliable network coverage so you don't have to rely on Wi-Fi hotspots.

Are GigSky international eSIM plans good value for money?

Yes. By offering local network coverage at affordable prices, the cost of a GigSky plan usually equates to a fraction of your typical data roaming fee.

How do I check if my smartphone supports a GigSky eSIM abroad?

Most modern smartphones are eSIM compatible, provided your phone is unlocked for international use. However, some older devices may not support international or worldwide eSIM technology. Click here to check compatibility.

Can I use my international eSIM on multiple devices?

You bet. GigSky international eSIM cards are versatile across various devices, including iPhones, certain Android smartphones, tablets, and even smartwatches. You can view a complete list of compatible devices here.

What should I do if I experience problems using my international eSIM?

Double-check your mobile device is running the latest version of the operating system and that your eSIM is turned on and selected for cellular data. If you’re sure your settings are correct and still experiencing problems, contact the GigSky Support team at help@gigsky.com
