Unitel Laos Prepaid Data Package & Plan Prices 2026

Unless otherwise noted, prices are converted at 1 USD ≈ 22,500 kip (mid-market rate, 20 August 2026). Kip is what actually gets charged — treat the USD figures on this page, including our own pricing, as approximate, since the kip has moved substantially against the dollar in recent years.

Source confidence: Official. Every code, price and validity below was re-checked against Unitel’s own official data on 24 September 2026 and matches exactly — including every long-duration (90/180/360-day) package, now listed in full below rather than as a handful of examples.

The short answer

The cheapest useful tourist package is 10K3 — 4GB for 10,000 kip (~$0.44), valid 3 days. To buy it, dial *123*10K3# from a registered Unitel line.

That’s the catch: you need a registered Unitel SIM before any of these codes work. Here’s every package price, then exactly how to get a registered line — including the route that skips the queue entirely.

The route that skips it is a pre-activated Unitel eSIM: we sell a genuine local Unitel profile, already registered and installed by email before you fly, from $6.90 (our Laos eSIM plans). Then every code in the tables below works exactly as described — you’re on a real Unitel line.

Some codes share a price but not the data — check the code, not just the price:

• 95,000 kip: 95K gives 40GB, CN95 gives 30GB — 95K is the better deal.
• 120,000 kip: 120K gives 55GB, 120_ML gives 45GB — 120K is the better deal.
• 150,000 kip: 150K gives 70GB, MS150 and 5G150 both give 60GB — 150K is the better deal.

Dialling the wrong code at the same price costs you real data.

Long-duration packages (90 / 180 / 360 days) — full list

For long stays, longer commitments buy meaningfully cheaper data per gigabyte — see the tier comparison below the table.

Committing longer costs less per month. The same price tier gets cheaper per month the longer the validity — e.g. the 150,000-kip tier runs $6.67/month at 30 days, but $5.67/month over 6 months (150K6M) and $5.33/month over 12 months (150K12M), for a growing data allowance each step:

Tier	3 months	6 months	12 months
50,000 kip	45GB, ~$2.00/mo	90GB, ~$1.89/mo	180GB, ~$1.78/mo
60,000 kip	60GB, ~$2.40/mo	120GB, ~$2.27/mo	240GB, ~$2.13/mo

How to buy a package

Once you have a registered Unitel line:

• Buy a package: dial *123* followed by the code from the table above, then #. Example: *123*10K3# for the 4GB/3-day package.
• Check your balance: dial *122#.
• Top up: any amount, no minimum.
• Unused data: rolls over when a new package is bought before the old one expires.
• Shop prices vs. dialling the code yourself: identical. There’s no price advantage to buying at a counter instead of dialling the code — only a time cost.

You need a registered SIM first. Three ways to get one.

Route	Cost to start	Time cost
Physical SIM at a shop	20,000 kip (~$0.89)	Passport or any ID, eKYC, shop hours, possible queue
Native Unitel eSIM	Similar	Customer centre visit only — not available at the airport — expect to lose half a day
Pre-activated eSIM (ours)	From $6.90	None — install by email before you fly, working the moment you land

Shop SIM: any Unitel store, or Wattay International Airport on arrival. You’ll need ID (any passport or national ID — a Lao ID is not required) and to complete eKYC registration, either in person or via the LaoKYC app. Full walkthrough: How to Register and Activate a Unitel SIM Card in Laos.

Native Unitel eSIM: Unitel does sell eSIM profiles directly, but only through their customer service centres — not at the airport, not through the app. If you’re arriving and want to start on native Unitel pricing immediately, this route isn’t realistic on arrival day.

Pre-activated eSIM: registration happens before you fly, tied to your order. No counter, no eKYC to do yourself, no customer-centre visit. Buy a Laos eSIM.

What our eSIM actually costs you

Our first bundle costs more per gigabyte than the equivalent native package above. A 10-day, 10GB plan from us is $6.90; the closest native equivalent (25K, 8GB/10 days) is 25,000 kip, about $1.11.

After that first bundle expires, you’re on Unitel’s own network using Unitel’s own prices — dial any code from the table above, same as anyone else. The premium is one-time, and it buys back the time cost in the table above: no queue, no eKYC to handle yourself, no customer-centre visit, working the moment you land rather than half a day later.

Unitel also sells its own travel SIM directly

For transparency: Unitel has its own official travel SIM, ordered on their site (choose SIM → enter order info → pay → receive SIM):

Package	Data	Price	Validity
SABAIDEE10	10GB	80,000 kip (~$3.56)	10 days
SABAIDEE15	15GB	95,000 kip (~$4.22)	15 days
SABAIDEE30	30GB	125,000 kip (~$5.56)	30 days

Data-only, no voice or SMS — and Unitel’s own terms say the number is reclaimed 30 days after it’s blocked (data exhausted or validity expired), so it’s not meant to be kept beyond the trip. It’s a real option if you’re comfortable with Unitel’s own ordering/delivery flow; our eSIM plans exist for the same use case delivered by email in minutes instead, with no separate order-and-wait step.

Which route suits which traveller

• Short trip, arriving by air, want data immediately → pre-activated eSIM. The time you’d spend registering costs more than the price difference.
• Long stay, or you’re already comfortable navigating a Lao SIM counter, or you’re already in Vientiane → shop SIM. Cheap, and the registration is one-off — once done, every package after is native pricing either way.
• Arriving at a land border, late at night, or on a weekend → pre-activated eSIM. Shops keep business hours and land crossings often have no Unitel presence at all.

In that last case, it’s a genuine local Unitel eSIM you install on Unitel’s own network before you fly — see our Laos eSIM plans.
