Airalo Coverage by Region
Asia — Best Coverage
Airalo's strongest region is Asia. Japan, Thailand, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia all have excellent Airalo coverage with multiple plan options. Plans often use tier-1 carrier networks (NTT Docomo in Japan, AIS in Thailand, KT/SKT in South Korea). Prices are competitive — Japan plans from $5, Thailand from $5, South Korea from $8.
Europe — Excellent Coverage
Airalo has 35+ European countries covered via regional plans. Individual country plans exist for all major Western European destinations. Eastern Europe (Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary) is also well covered. The only gaps are very small territories and some Balkan countries.
Middle East & Africa — Good but Variable
UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, and South Africa are all well covered. Sub-Saharan Africa has gaps — some countries have limited or no Airalo coverage. Always verify before booking a trip to an off-the-beaten-path African destination.
Americas — Good Coverage
USA, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil are all well covered. Central America and the Caribbean have decent coverage. Rural Latin America can have gaps.
When Airalo Doesn't Work
Airalo is unavailable in: North Korea, Cuba (very limited), and some remote Pacific islands. For China, Airalo has plans but you'll need a VPN to access Google, YouTube, and other blocked services — the eSIM itself connects fine.
