Asia eSIM prices compared
Connectivity rules vary more across Asia than anywhere else. Mainland China filters many foreign services; Hong Kong does not. India's local SIMs need identity checks. Thailand and Malaysia sell tourist SIMs at airports.
The table compares the cheapest verified plan in each country so you can budget a multi-stop trip and spot where a local SIM may be worth the queue. Ubigi's Asia regional plans cover all six destinations here.

About regional plans
We only list a regional plan when the provider's page names every country it covers. Ubigi's regional plans meet that bar: they appear on each covered destination's page and under "One plan for all stops" when you compare a trip with several stops. aloSIM's regional pages gave country counts that didn't match their own lists, so those aren't included yet.
