How much data do I need in India?
How much data you need for India depends on how you use your phone. As a rule of thumb:
Light
1–3 GB
Maps, messaging, the occasional email. Great for short trips.
Standard
5–10 GB
Social media, navigation, sharing photos, some music — for 1–2 weeks.
Heavy
20 GB+
Streaming, video calls, hotspot/remote work or long journeys.
Not sure? Use the plan finder to find the right plan by trip length and data needs in seconds. If you run low, many plans can simply be topped up.
Network coverage & good to know
In India your eSIM automatically connects to the strongest available partner network — typically 4G/LTE or 5G in cities and tourist areas. Coverage can vary in very remote regions. After installing, enable data roaming for the eSIM profile (this is normal and incurs no extra cost — you're using your booked plan). Tip: install the eSIM over Wi-Fi before departure so you're online the moment you land.
Buying a local SIM in India means passport registration and paperwork — a travel eSIM skips the store visit entirely. 4G/5G is strong in cities; mountain regions like Ladakh have thin coverage.
Frequently asked questions
Does an eSIM for India work instantly?
Yes. You receive the QR code by email and in your account right after purchase. Install it before you travel — it activates automatically once you connect to a network in India.
How much does an eSIM for India cost?
Data plans for India start at 3,50 €. You only pay for the data you need — no contract, no hidden roaming fees.
How do I install the eSIM?
Scan the QR code in your device settings, or install it on iPhone with one tap. See our install guide for step-by-step instructions.
Is my phone eSIM-compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onward (iPhone XS/XR, Samsung Galaxy S20, Google Pixel 3 and newer) support eSIM. Check your model on our compatibility page.
Can I top up the India eSIM?
Many plans let you add more data right from your account — no reinstall needed. If a plan can't be topped up, simply book a new India plan.
How long is the India eSIM valid?
Validity depends on the plan you choose (e.g. 7, 15 or 30 days). The clock starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in India — not at purchase.
Can I use a hotspot (tethering) with the eSIM?
Yes. You can share your data via personal hotspot with a laptop or tablet — handy if you work on the go in India.
Do I keep my normal phone number in India?
Yes. The eSIM is a data-only plan running alongside your main SIM. Your home number stays reachable for calls, SMS and WhatsApp — only mobile data runs over the eSIM.
