Philippines eSIM questions

Which network will I use in the Philippines?

Dayo connects to Globe, 5G. If that network is busy, your phone can switch to a partner network automatically.

Will I have data as soon as I land at Ninoy Aquino, Manila (MNL)?

Yes. Install Dayo at home before you fly, then turn it on when you land. Your plan's days start the first time it connects in the Philippines, so you can book a Grab from the arrivals hall.

Does it work outside Manila?

Yes. Your plan works anywhere the network covers in the Philippines, including Cebu, Boracay.

Visiting more than one country?

Buy one plan per country; each installs separately and starts when you land there. Going on to Europe? The Europe plan covers 43 countries on one eSIM.
