Does the Bhutan eSIM include calls and texts?

No. The plans provide mobile data only; calls and texts are not included.

Can I top up my Bhutan eSIM?

Yes, you can top up the eSIM if you need additional data.

What data options are available for Bhutan?

You can choose 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB or 20GB, or select an unlimited data plan.

How long can a Bhutan eSIM plan last?

Available validity periods are 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 15 and 30 days.

Bhutan: is an eSIM better than a local SIM?

For most travellers, yes. A local SIM in Bhutan means finding a shop once you have landed, usually with ID in hand, and it leaves you on a single carrier. An eSimHero eSIM installs before you travel, works the moment you arrive, connects across the networks we carry there, and leaves your usual number active on the same phone.
