Frequently asked questions
How much does the Laos eSIM cost?
The Laos 1GB 7Days plan costs $1.98 for 1 GB over 7 days, paid once with no hidden fees.
How do I activate my Laos eSIM?
Scan the QR code in your phone settings (Cellular/Mobile → Add eSIM) or tap Install in the GotoeSIM app. Install on Wi-Fi before your trip; it activates when you arrive in Laos.
Will this eSIM work on my phone?
It works on any eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone — iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy models.
