Is my phone compatible?
Most failures come down to carrier lock, not the phone model — check yours first, it takes 5 seconds:
- iPhone: Settings → General → About → look for "No SIM restrictions."
- Android: Settings → About phone → dial *#06# — an EID number means your phone has eSIM hardware.
Most flagship phones from 2019 onward support eSIM — iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, recent Samsung Galaxy S/Note/Z models.

About Laos
Laos is a landlocked gem of Southeast Asia — think ancient temples in Luang Prabang, the serene 4,000 Islands in the south, and the Mekong flowing through it all. A local Unitel eSIM gets you a Lao phone number and fast data the moment you land; our regional Asia eSIM is the better pick if Laos is one stop on a wider trip, covering 30+ countries on a single plan.
Frequently asked questions
How do I activate a Laos eSIM? +
Install the eSIM (scan the QR code or tap the one-tap install link in your confirmation email) any time before you fly. Once you land and your phone connects to Unitel, data activates automatically — no dialling codes, no in-store registration, no KYC app needed for this eSIM.
Which network does the Laos eSIM use? +
Unitel, one of the largest mobile networks in Laos, with 4G coverage across the country including Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng and the 4,000 Islands.
How much data do I need for a trip to Laos? +
10GB covers a short 10-day trip comfortably (maps, messaging, social media, some video). Staying longer or streaming a lot? Step up to the 20GB/30-day or 30GB/30-day plan rather than running dry mid-trip.
Is this cheaper than Airalo or Holafly for Laos? +
Global eSIM providers typically start around $7-$20 for a few days of data-only coverage in Laos, with no local phone number. Our local Unitel plans start at $6.90 for 10GB and include a real Lao number, so you can receive SMS and OTPs from local apps and banks.
How do I check my remaining data? +
Dial *122# on the eSIM line to see your remaining balance at any time.
Do I still need a physical SIM card? +
No — this is eSIM-only. Your phone needs to be eSIM-capable and carrier-unlocked. Keep your home SIM in the other slot for calls on your usual number; let the eSIM carry your data.
