Thailand eSIM

Online the moment you land in Thailand. Two quick questions, one tap to pay, and it installs in one more.

See all 13 plans
Every plan for this place, shortest first.

Plans marked "Not via Hong Kong" use a non-Hong Kong internet route. Most others go through Hong Kong, so some apps and sites may think you are there.

Check first: dial *#06# on the phone you are taking. If you see an EID, it takes an eSIM. It must also be carrier-unlocked.

Refunds and fine print

NUM resells eSIM data plans from third-party network partners. Before you pay, check that your phone is eSIM-ready and carrier-unlocked, and that you picked the right country and plan. If we can’t issue your eSIM, you get a full refund. If our network partner confirms the eSIM itself is at fault, we replace it or refund it. Unused eSIMs, the wrong plan or country, and locked or unsupported phones aren’t refundable. This doesn’t limit your rights under local consumer law. Terms

Apple Pay, Google Pay or card on Stripe's secure page. Your eSIM arrives in your free NUM account: after you pay, open NUM and your install code is waiting in the chat. It earns you Shooting Stars too, one for every dollar.

Rather text? Text ESIM THAILAND to +1 (424) 346-0888 and your NUM concierge sorts it.

Will it work on my phone?

The five-second test: open the phone app and dial *#06#. If you see an EID number, your phone has eSIM.

iPhone: every iPhone from the XR and XS (2018) on has eSIM, and the SE from 2020. Most iPhones sold in mainland China do not.

It must be unlocked too: Settings > General > About > Carrier Lock should say "No SIM restrictions".

Android: Google Pixel 3 and later. Samsung Galaxy S20 and later (not US S20 models), Note 20, and every Z Fold and Z Flip. Many recent Motorola, OPPO, Xiaomi and other phones too.

It must be unlocked too: a phone from a carrier contract may be locked to it. Your carrier can tell you.

Still not sure? Text PHONE and your model to +1 (424) 346-0888 and we will check it.
