What to Expect with eSIM India

What is an eSIM for India?

An eSIM India is a digital SIM card that lets you add a mobile data plan to your phone without needing a physical SIM. With a India eSIM, you can stay connected as you travel across cities like Mumbai — no need to visit a SIM card store or worry about roaming fees.

How to Get Your India eSIM?

  1. Download the Klook app
  2. Check device compatibility
  3. Select your destination and data plan
  4. Activate instantly via app or QR code
  5. Turn on data roaming to connect to the local network

Why Choose Klook’s eSIM for India?

  • High-Speed Data: Reliable connectivity through top local networks like AirTel.
  • Instant Setup: Activate in 5 minutes — no physical SIM required.
  • Affordable Plans: Transparent pricing with no hidden expensive roaming fees.
  • Wide Compatibility: Works with 100+ eSIM-enabled devices.
  • Hotspot Sharing: You can easily share data with other devices.

Things to Know About India eSIMs

1. How does eSIM India work?

India eSIM works by digitally adding a mobile plan to your device. Simply purchase a prepaid India eSIM, install it through the Klook app or a QR code, and get connected as soon as you arrive. Hotspot and tethering are supported and you can easily add additional data linked to your main eSIM if you run out of data.

2. Is eSIM worth it for India?

Definitely! An eSIM is the easiest way to stay connected while traveling in India — no need to swap physical SIM cards. With Klook’s India eSIM, avoid expensive roaming fees while enjoying fast and reliable coverage across Mumbai and beyond from AirTel for a seamless travel experience.

3. Can you keep your primary SIM number with a India eSIM?

Yes. Thanks to the dual SIM functionality of an eSIM, you can keep your local phone number. Your local SIM card stays in your phone, and you add the eSIM India plan for internet access. This lets you enjoy data in India without having to swap out your physical SIM card.

Terms & Conditions

Cancellation policy

  • Cancel before your eSIM connects for a full refund. If you face issues after activation, low usage qualifies for a full refund, while higher usage may qualify for a partial refund plus 10% extra in KlookCash. All refunds are at Klook’s sole discretion.

Upon arrival to India, I was able to easily connect with the Internet with this e-sim. I can still acess the net in other areas of the country especially that we travelled throughout the Golden Triangle. 🤩✨

Very convenient as it provided clear instructions on activating the e-sim. Went to a secluded area in Uttarakhand and surprisingly even during hikes, I have a network. I hope they offer a 15-day data bundle!

I used it in Cochin, Alleppey, and Mumbai during my trip to India. It was cheap and easy to use. Being able to use the internet while traveling meant I could use Google Maps to find trains and buses and travel by public transport, which was very convenient ^_^

How can I activate the eSIM directly from the Klook app?

  • Tap the “Activate” button and wait for the eSIM to get activated.
  • After activation, make sure the eSIM is installed on your device. You can check it from Settings > Cellular > SIMs.
  • You can name the eSIM in Settings > Cellular > eSIM > Cellular Plan Label.
  • Note: Be careful not to turn on the data roaming before arriving at your destination!
  • After arriving at the destination, please turn on eSIM data roaming and switch the cellular plan to this eSIM card to connect to the network.

How can I activate the eSIM with a QR code?

You can find the QR code from the booking details on the Klook app or on your Klook account.

The QR code should be visible next to the "Activate" button if your device is compatible with the eSIM and the eSIM plan. If not, you can scan the QR code with a device that is eSIM compatible by following these steps:

iOS

  1. Settings > Cellular or Mobile data > Add Cellular Plan > Scan the QR code
  2. Name the eSIM at your convenience from the "Cellular Plan Label."
  3. Do not turn on data roaming until you arrive at your destination

Android

Network & Internet > SIMs > Add Cellular Plan

The eSIM didn't get activated on my device. What should I do?

Check if your device is locked to a carrier, as eSIMs can't be activated on locked devices. Please contact your carrier for more information.

Can I scan one QR code with multiple devices?

No. You can use the eSIM only on one device. As such, one QR code can't be used multiple times or on multiple devices. Make sure to scan the QR code and activate the eSIM on the device you intend to use it on.

Should I turn on data roaming when I'm using the eSIM?

Yes. Make sure to turn on data roaming after you arrive at your destination. You can toggle it on from the eSIM settings.

An error occurred while I was installing the eSIM. What should I do?

The solutions depend on the error message you saw:

  • Cellular Plans from This Carrier Cannot Be Added:

Your device might be locked to a specific carrier. Please double-check from Settings > General > About > Carrier Lock. It should say "No SIM restrictions." If that's not the case, contact your original carrier to unlock the restrictions of your device.

  • Unable to Complete Cellular Plan Change:

It might be because too many eSIMs are installed on the device. Please double-check if your device has reached the maximum eSIM capacity, which eSIM service is on it, and try removing one of the unnecessary eSIMs.

Please make sure to turn on the mobile data on your device.

Please make sure that the eSIM plan hasn't been installed on another device.

Please make sure you have a stable connection while you're installing the eSIM.

  • This code is no longer valid:

Please make sure that the eSIM plan hasn't been activated on another device.

Please make sure you have a stable connection while you're installing the eSIM.

Try installing the eSIM through a different activation method. (There are two methods: In-app activation and QR code activation. You can try either on the same phone.)
