Mobile data in Laos

Laos's Lao Telecom network runs 5G in Vientiane and 4G in Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng and along the Laos–China railway. The mountain roads, the Mekong boat routes and the Bolaven plateau have signal in the towns and gaps between.

The Laos–China railway from Vientiane to Luang Prabang has coverage at the stations and drops in the tunnels.
Slow boats on the Mekong from Huay Xai lose signal for long stretches.
Loca is the local ride-hailing app in Vientiane and Luang Prabang.
Cash (kip) is standard; ATMs are in the towns.

Laos eSIM — FAQ

When does my Laos eSIM activate?

Your Laos eSIM activates the first time it connects to a local network — not when you install it. Install at home, then land and you're live.

Can I keep my own phone number when using a Laos eSIM?

Yes. Our eSIMs are data-only. Your existing SIM card stays active in your phone for calls and texts. Just set the eSIM as your default for mobile data.

Can I use my Laos eSIM as a hotspot?

Yes, hotspot sharing works on all our Laos plans. You can share your data connection with a laptop or other devices.

What happens if I run out of data in Laos?

You can top up data directly from your dashboard — no new QR code, no reinstall. Your first top-up is free.

Is my phone compatible with a Laos eSIM?

Most smartphones released after 2020 support eSIM — iPhone XS or later, Google Pixel 3+, and most Samsung Galaxy models. Your device must also be network-unlocked.

What currency will I be charged in?

Prices are set in pounds sterling. You can pay in GBP, euros, US dollars, Australian dollars or Canadian dollars, and the Pay button shows the exact amount charged. Other currencies are charged in GBP and your bank converts.
