eSIM prices across South Asia
South Asia is a mixed market. Bangladesh and Pakistan anchor the low end at $1.25/GB, but the region average of $3.10/GB is pulled up by island destinations where provider coverage is thin. The Maldives, for example, runs at the top of the cost range at $7.81/GB.
India is one of the world's largest mobile markets but eSIM regulations have historically restricted foreign visitor access to local plans. Check availability at your preferred provider before your trip.
