Laos eSIM: 20GB for 30 Days

With 20GB over 30 days (about 0.7GB a day), you get just enough for maps, messaging and light social browsing across Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng and the 4,000 Islands. Heavy video streaming or hotspotting several devices will use it up faster.

Run by the Internet in Laos team, online since 2012.

What you get

• No physical SIM. Install before you fly.

Frequently asked questions

How long is this Laos eSIM valid for?

+

The QR/plan stays valid for 365 days before you need to first connect — once activated on Unitel it runs for its 30-day allowance.

Do I need to set the APN manually?

+

Usually not — activation is automatic the moment the eSIM connects to Unitel. If your phone doesn't auto-configure, the APN is unitel3g.

How do I check my remaining data?

+

Dial *122# on the eSIM line at any time to check your remaining balance.

Can I reinstall the eSIM if I get a new phone?

+

No — this Unitel eSIM can't be reinstalled once installed, so double-check you're installing on the device you'll actually travel with.

Does this eSIM include a phone number, calls or SMS?

+

No — Lao regulation requires in-person identity registration at an operator customer service center before a line can be issued with a number, calls and SMS. That step can't be done remotely, so any eSIM bought online, including this one, is data-only. A voice-capable Lao line is available in-country by visiting an operator's customer service center with your ID.
