Stay Connected the Moment You Land in Vientiane with a Unitel eSIM

Vientiane may move at a calm pace, but when it comes to staying online, speed and reliability matter. Whether you’re coming for business, study, or sightseeing, your trip becomes simpler when your internet is ready before you arrive.
At Internet in Laos, we make that possible. Our Unitel eSIM for Laos lets you get connected instantly when you land — no kiosks, no waiting, no roaming surprises.
Why Buy Before You Fly
Setting up your eSIM before you leave home saves time and stress. When you purchase online, your eSIM QR code arrives by email within minutes — buy your Vientiane eSIM here, from $6.90 for 10GB. Install it right away; activation only starts once you land in Laos.
That means you step off the plane already equipped for maps, ride-hailing, translation, and messaging — while keeping your home SIM active for texts and calls.
Why We Partner Exclusively with Unitel
Unitel offers the strongest coverage and fastest 4G/5G speeds in Laos, reaching both the city center and surrounding areas. In Vientiane, signal strength is excellent at Wattay Airport, Patuxai, the Mekong riverside, and even along the Friendship Bridge road.
By choosing Unitel as our exclusive network, we ensure you get the best possible experience: fast browsing, smooth video calls, and stable connections wherever you go.
How to Activate Your Laos eSIM (Step-by-Step)
Traveling to Laos and planning to use an eSIM?
Here’s how to set it up with Internet in Laos.
Step 1: Install Your eSIM Profile
- After your order, you’ll receive a QR code by email.
- On your phone, open Settings → Mobile/Cellular → Add eSIM.
- Scan the QR code.
Your eSIM profile is now stored on your device — you can do this anywhere in the world. Activation begins only when you arrive in Laos.
Step 2: Arrive in Laos
Once you land, make sure your eSIM line is enabled in your phone’s settings. Your device will automatically connect to the Unitel network.
Step 3: Activation Is Automatic
- There’s nothing to dial. The moment your phone connects to the Unitel network after you land, your package activates.
- Your package validity starts from that automatic connection — for example, a 7-day plan expires seven days after your phone first connects to Unitel.
- No IVR, no manual trigger — just switch on data roaming/mobile data and let your phone connect.
Step 4: Confirm Activation
To check your package status, dial *122#.
You’ll receive an SMS (in Lao) showing your remaining balance and data.
Step 5: Translate the SMS (Optional)
If you don’t read Lao, open Google Lens in Google Translate or your camera app, point it at the SMS, and it will instantly show you the English translation.
