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