How to Order a Tourist SIM for Your Trip to Laos

If you’re planning a trip to Laos and need a reliable mobile connection, getting a tourist SIM could be the perfect solution. Here’s everything you need to know about ordering a tourist SIM in Laos.

Ordering a SIM card before arriving in Laos has several advantages for travelers. First, it saves time and effort since you don’t have to spend time searching for a local provider and purchasing a SIM card upon arrival. Second, it ensures that you have a reliable mobile connection as soon as you arrive in Laos, which is especially important if you need to stay connected for work or personal reasons.

Once you’ve chosen the package that meets your requirements, you can pay directly through their payment provider, Stripe. Stripe supports several card brands, from large global networks like Visa and Mastercard to local networks like Cartes Bancaires in France or Interac in Canada. Stripe also supports Google Pay, WeChat Pay, and Apple Pay. If you wish to pay with Paypal, you can contact us through the form.

Delivery Time

The standard delivery time for a tourist SIM is 48 hours in Vientiane and 5 days in the province. However, if you have an urgent order, you can contact us through the form.

Phone Compatibility with our Lao Tourist SIM’s

The SIM cards are pre-cut for all types of phones and support Standard SIM, Micro SIM, and Nano SIM. The SIM card Laos will work as long as the phone is compatible with the mobile networks in Laos. If you have any doubts, you can consult their guide on “How to use my phone in Laos.”

Collection Process for the Lao Travel SIM Card

The provider will drop the SIM at the hotel counter in an envelope to your name. You can simply ask the reception desk for it. We always deliver the SIM before your arrival, so you do not need to wait.

Lao Tourist SIM Card Bulk Orders

If you are a group of travelers, you can buy Tourist SIMs in bulk. We can provide pre-activated and registered SIMs in bulk, and you can contact us through the form for a discount offer.

Lao Tourist SIM Coverage

We select Unitel as our SIM card provider, the market leader in Lao PDR, providing very good coverage in rural areas. However, we cannot guarantee that their SIM will work in every single place in Laos, especially in caves or on the top of mountains. If you are interested in buying a second SIM from a different provider, you can contact us through the form.

Lao Tourist SIM Card Network Capabilities

These SIM cards are prepaid SIMs freshly registered and will support the network capabilities available in your coverage area. In Laos, 2G, 3G and 4G networks are available. In the main cities, you can enjoy High-Speed 4G. The 5G network is available, but the coverage is extremely scarce.

Custom Orders

If you like a special package, you can contact us, and we will generate a custom order for you.

Lao Tourist SIM Validity

If your trip in Laos does not last more than three months, you do not have to worry about the SIM validity. It will work for the length of your trip, no matter the package you go for. If you wish to continue using the internet after your package is expired, you can simply top up and activate a new package. If you intend to stay more than three months in Laos, it is recommended to top up your SIM every three months, so the mobile operator does not recycle the SIM.

In conclusion, ordering a tourist SIM is a convenient and cost-effective way to stay connected during your trip to Laos. By following these steps, you can ensure that you get the right package and enjoy a seamless mobile experience throughout your stay.
