Tips for India
- Works on Airtel and Vi, the two largest private networks.
- A local SIM needs passport paperwork and can take a day to activate; the eSIM works on landing.
- In Goa and Kerala coverage is good in towns, weaker on remote beaches.
How to buy
- Pick a plan on the India page and pay by card, Apple Pay, SBP or crypto (USDT, BTC, TON and 100+ coins).
- Scan the QR code before you fly; the plan starts when the eSIM first connects in the country.
- Run low? Top up the same eSIM in your profile; no reinstall.
