What is
an eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM you install on a compatible phone. Add a travel data plan without swapping your physical SIM, then use maps, messages and your favourite apps while you explore.
Nila Mobile travel plans are data-only. Your phone must support eSIM and be network-unlocked.

A little help before take-off
When does my plan start?
Activation rules vary by package. Check the plan information and delivery instructions; do not assume every plan starts only on arrival.
Can I keep my WhatsApp number?
You can keep your existing WhatsApp account while using the eSIM for data. Choose to keep your current number if prompted. Home-network calls, texts and roaming may still incur charges.
How will I receive my eSIM?
After successful payment, the fulfilment system processes your eSIM and sends installation details to your checkout email. Allow processing time and check your junk folder. Contact support if delivery is missing.
Can I buy several eSIMs?
Save plans in your bag to compare them. This version uses a separate secure checkout for each eSIM. Complete a new purchase for every additional eSIM you need.
Does every plan include 5G or hotspot?
These features depend on the selected package, supported network and device. Review the supplier’s package information and ask support if a feature is essential.
