From choosing data to getting online after landing.
These travel eSIMs provide data for apps, without an ordinary Indian phone number, calls or SMS. If an accommodation or booking requires local calling, choose a separate voice-capable service. For our eSIM, save the email before departure and use the India setup guide after landing; the Wi-Fi-off webpage test tells you whether the data connection is working.
Compare app data, a local number and the actual purchase steps.

We’ll email your setup details when your eSIM is ready. Save the email for your arrival.
Wait until you have landed before using Quick Install, scanning the QR code, entering the manual code or activating the eSIM.
Join the airport’s passenger Wi-Fi and complete its sign-in screen. Open a webpage to check you’re connected.
Then open your SIM Shop setup email and follow the instructions to install and activate your eSIM.
Wi-Fi not working? Wait for hotel Wi-Fi or another steady, trusted connection before installing.
Check that your phone supports eSIM and is network unlocked before buying.
If your India trip follows the Golden Triangle, keep Delhi, Agra and Jaipur bookings in travel order. Save the exact arrival station or pickup address for each leg, plus the hotel you are staying at that night.
Messages and calls in apps use your data. Standard calls, SMS and a local number need a separate mobile service.
Choose a fixed data allowance for your trip. Compare the total data, validity and price, then check the selected plan’s coverage and start window.
Buy India eSIM data before you travel. Pick the data amount that fits your trip and save the setup email, but do not tap quick install, scan the QR code, enter the manual code or activate the eSIM before departure.
If your India trip follows the Golden Triangle, keep Delhi, Agra and Jaipur bookings in travel order. Save the exact arrival station or pickup address for each leg, plus the hotel you are staying at that night.
If a tour or transport provider asks for a local Indian number or requires SMS verification, confirm how you will complete that step before relying on the service. A data-only eSIM does not supply that number. For a guided Taj Mahal visit, save the organiser’s agreed meeting point and return arrangements offline, as well as any messages you will need on the day.
These plans are data-only unless a product option says otherwise. They do not include a local phone number for standard calls or SMS. Check compatibility, coverage, validity and hotspot needs before purchase.
Recommended setup timing: buy before you fly, then install only after you land. Join the airport’s free passenger Wi-Fi where offered, complete its sign-in page and open a normal webpage to prove it works. If it is unavailable or unstable, wait for hotel Wi-Fi or another steady trusted connection. Open your SIM Shop setup email and install only when that Wi-Fi test works.
