Frequently asked questions

Before you buy

What is an eSIM?

A SIM card that's built into your phone. Instead of swapping a plastic card, you install a travel plan in a couple of minutes, and your regular SIM stays where it is.

Do I need the app?

Yes. You buy, install and top up in the Dayo app. It's free, and it walks you through setup on your exact phone.

Will it work on my phone?

Most phones from the last few years support eSIM. Check your phone, or dial *#06# and look for an EID.

Is it cheaper than roaming?

Almost always cheaper than pay-per-use roaming, which can run to hundreds of pesos per MB. A good roaming promo can come close per GB, but it only works on your own network's SIM, comes in fixed packs and sizes, and lapses if you miss the activation. Dayo is one price for the whole trip on any phone, and the app shows the comparison for your dates before you buy.

How do I pay?

In pesos, taxes included, with GCash, Maya, cards, Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Installing

When should I install?

At home on Wi-Fi, a day or more before you fly. Installing doesn't start your plan.

How long does it take?

About two minutes. The app shows the steps for your exact phone. See the install guide.

Can I keep my home number?

Yes. Your home SIM stays on for calls and texts (like OTPs) while Dayo handles data. We show you how to keep roaming off so you aren't charged by your home network.

Can I install it on more than one phone?

Each eSIM installs on one phone. Buying for others? Send up to 10 eSIMs with one group link.

On your trip

When do my plan's days start?

When your phone first connects to a network in your destination, not when you buy or install. Install a few days before you fly, then turn Dayo on when you land.

What happens if I run out of data?

Your data pauses. There are no surprise charges. Top up in the app in a few taps, or switch to a bigger plan.

Can I share data with my laptop?

Yes, hotspot works on every plan.

I landed and it isn't connecting

Turn on the Dayo line and Data Roaming for Dayo only, then restart once. Still nothing? Chat with us in the app, 24/7.

Payments

What is Dayo Cash?

Credit you earn on every trip (3–10% back depending on your tier) and Dayo Cash for each friend who buys their first eSIM. ₱1 of Dayo Cash is ₱1 off.

Do you have plans for companies or travel agencies?

Yes. See Dayo for Business and Affiliates & partners.
