Important Details About Your Laos eSIM
Data and voice service
With the Unitel Laos eSIM, you can choose between Data-only plans or Data & Voice plans. Depending on the plan selected, you will get up to 30GB of high-speed data, and a local Laos number with free on-net local calls and unlimited incoming calls & SMS.

Check compatibility
Ensure your device supports eSIM and is network-unlocked. Refer to our eSIM compatibility list before making a purchase.
Activation time
Your plan starts the first time your device connects to the supported network in Laos, not when you scan the QR code. We recommend installing the eSIM before your trip so you can connect instantly upon arrival.
30-day activation
Activate your data plan within 30 days of purchase. No cancellations, refunds, or changes after this period.
One-time QR code
For any eSIM plan, please note that each eSIM QR code can only be scanned and installed ONCE. So, please do not delete the eSIM while using it. If you get any issue, please contact us for support.

No, eSIM data bundles purchased for Laos are only valid within the country. You’ll need a new plan for other destinations. If your next destination is Vietnam, Myanmar, or China, consider purchasing our Multi-country plans that allow usage across locations with better value.
Install the eSIM with a QR code sent to your email. You can follow the instructions attached in the email. Contact us if you need more information. Read full detailed installation guides.
As you need Wi-FI to install your eSIM and your eSIM will not start until you reach Laos and dial 121 to activate it, we recommend that you install your eSIM before departure and dial 121 to activate it when you reach Laos.
You can dial #101# or #122# to check your phone number and balance.
The QR code can be scanned once which means that if you remove the eSIM from your phone, you cannot install it again. And eSIM can only be installed on one device.
If your data has been used up or your eSIM validity comes to an end, your eSIM card will no longer work and you will not be able to connect to the internet. If you want more data, buying a new plan is the best choice.
