India has comprehensive 4G/LTE coverage in all major cities and state capitals, with 5G now live in the top 8 metros. Airtel and Jio lead nationally — both have excellent urban 4G and expanding 5G. Vi covers urban areas but has weaker rural reach. Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Chennai have strong 5G. Tourist routes like Rajasthan (Jaipur–Jodhpur–Udaipur), Kerala backwaters, and Goa beaches have solid 4G. The Golden Triangle (Delhi–Agra–Jaipur) is fully covered. Mountain areas require more care: Shimla, Manali, and Rishikesh have 4G in town; high-altitude Spiti Valley, Leh-Ladakh, and Zanskar have limited or no coverage above 3,500m. Kaziranga, Jim Corbett, and major national parks have 4G at park gates and lodges.
Plan size
How much data do you need?
Pick your travel style and trip length — we'll suggest the right India plan, no guessing.
Yes. Agra has good 4G coverage throughout the city and the Taj Mahal complex. Airtel and Jio both cover the area reliably.
Is coverage good in Goa?
Excellent. Goa has 4G coverage across all major beach areas — North Goa (Baga, Anjuna, Calangute) and South Goa (Palolem, Agonda). Even quieter beaches have signal.
Will this work in Leh-Ladakh?
Coverage in Leh town is available (Airtel and Jio both serve it), but high-altitude routes like Khardung La, Nubra Valley, and Pangong Lake have very limited or no coverage. Offline maps are essential.
How does pricing compare to Airalo India?
Flysimio is typically 40–55% cheaper for equivalent India plans on the same Airtel or Jio network.
Does the eSIM work across all Indian states?
Yes. Unlike domestic Indian SIM plans that sometimes have state-level restrictions, international eSIMs roam nationally across all states without extra charges.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of a physical card, you scan a QR code and your plan installs instantly — no SIM tray needed.
Is my phone eSIM-compatible?
iPhone XS (2018) and newer, most Android flagships from 2020+, and all Samsung Galaxy S21+ devices support eSIM. Check our compatibility page for the full device list.
How do I install the eSIM?
After purchase, we email a QR code. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Scan QR Code. On Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. The whole process takes under 60 seconds.
Can I keep my regular SIM while using this eSIM?
Yes. Most phones support dual SIM (physical + eSIM). Keep your home number for calls and SMS — use Flysimio for data abroad. You control which SIM handles what in your phone Settings.
Does the eSIM include a hotspot (tethering)?
Yes, all Flysimio plans include mobile hotspot at no extra charge. Share your data connection with laptops, tablets, or other devices freely.
What happens when my data runs out?
You can top up data from your account dashboard at any time. Top-ups are applied instantly — no need to buy a new eSIM or wait.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. We offer a full refund within 7 days of purchase. Contact contact@flysimio.com with your order number.
How long is the eSIM valid for?
You have 6 months from your purchase date to activate the eSIM. Once activated, the plan validity period (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) begins counting down.
Will the eSIM work at the airport when I land?
Yes — as long as you installed the eSIM before your flight, it activates automatically when your phone connects to a local network on landing. No Wi-Fi required for activation.
What if the QR code doesn't scan?
If the QR code won't scan, you can enter the activation code manually — we include both in the email. You can also contact our 24/7 support team and we'll resend or manually provision your eSIM.
eSIM in India
The complete guide.
Best eSIM for travel to India
The best India eSIM combines wide coverage, honest pricing, and instant setup. Flysimio connects to Airtel, Jio, and Vi — with Airtel and Jio leading nationally across Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Goa, and the Golden Triangle — plus 5G now live in the top metros. Plans are prepaid with no contract and no roaming surprises, so the price you see is what you pay. Your QR code arrives by email seconds after checkout and installs in under a minute, every plan includes free mobile hotspot, and there's a 7-day money-back guarantee. It's the easiest way to skip India's lengthy local-SIM paperwork and land in Delhi or Mumbai already connected.
How to set up an India eSIM (step by step)
Getting online in India takes about two minutes — and skips the local SIM's KYC paperwork entirely. First, confirm your phone supports eSIM: iPhone XS (2018) and newer and most Android flagships from 2020 qualify. Choose your India plan on Flysimio and pay with card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay; your QR code arrives by email within seconds. On Wi-Fi before you fly, open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM (iPhone) or Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM (Android) and scan it — a manual code is included too. Keep your home line as default until arrival; when you land at Delhi, Mumbai, or Bangalore, your Flysimio line connects automatically.
How much data do you need in India?
Most travellers over-buy. For maps, messaging, and email, roughly 300 MB a day is plenty, so a 3–5 GB plan covers a week comfortably. Add social media, photos, and music and you'll want about 700 MB a day — a 10 GB plan suits a two-week trip around the Golden Triangle or Kerala. Heavy streamers, video callers, and anyone tethering a laptop should plan for 1.5 GB or more per day or choose an unlimited daily plan. Not sure? The calculator above matches your travel style and trip length to a size, and you can top up mid-trip if you run low.
Using an India eSIM on iPhone and Android
Flysimio runs as a second line beside your usual SIM, so you keep your home number for calls and texts while your Indian data flows over the eSIM — standard dual-SIM behaviour on iPhone XS and later and most Android phones from 2018. After installing, set the Flysimio eSIM as your cellular-data line and turn on Data Roaming for that line only; it simply lets the eSIM connect to Indian networks, with no roaming fees. Unlike a local SIM, an international eSIM roams across all Indian states without extra charges. If you're unsure about your model, the compatibility page confirms it before you buy.
Hotspot, calls, and texts on an India data eSIM
Every Flysimio India plan includes mobile hotspot at no extra cost and without throttling, so you can tether a laptop or tablet or share with a travel companion and use your full allowance freely. As a data-only eSIM it has no Indian phone number, but that rarely matters: WhatsApp, FaceTime, Messenger, and Google Meet handle calls and messages over data, and your home number stays reachable on your primary SIM. You stay connected from the cities to the coast without the per-minute charges of traditional roaming.
Short India trips vs. long stays
For a few days in Delhi or a quick business trip, a small 1–5 GB plan on a 7-day validity is the most economical choice. For a two-week Golden Triangle tour or a longer journey through Rajasthan and Kerala, a 10–20 GB plan or an unlimited daily option lets you navigate, stream, and share without watching a meter. Because Flysimio gives you six months to activate, you can buy before you leave and the validity only starts when your eSIM first connects in India. No contract, nothing to cancel — the plan stops when it's done, and you can top up or rebuy for your next trip.
