Will I have signal on the Chocolate Hills countryside tour?

In the main towns, yes, but coverage thins across Bohol's rural interior around Carmen and the tarsier sanctuary. Download your route and booking details before you set off so a weak signal inland does not slow you down.

Can I use the same eSIM on a Cebu day trip?

Absolutely. This is one national Philippines plan, so the same eSIM keeps working on the fast ferry to Cebu and anywhere else in the country. One allowance covers both islands with no new SIM required.

Good to know in Bohol

Bohol's big sights — the Chocolate Hills, tarsier sanctuary and Loboc River — sit well inland from Panglao's beaches, so download offline maps before your countryside tour, as mobile signal genuinely thins across the rural interior.

Two simple ways to buy

Bohol eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Bohol eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Bohol — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Best value for lighter, shorter trips
Clear allowance — pay only for what you need

Bohol eSIM: your local data guide.

Bohol packs the wide-eyed tarsiers, the surreal Chocolate Hills and a Loboc River lunch cruise into one island, with Panglao's Alona Beach for the diving afterwards. A Bohol eSIM keeps Grab, tour bookings and countryside maps live from the moment you land at Panglao, whether you are bound for Balicasag's reefs or the hills of Carmen.

One eSIM for Bohol and all of Philippines. It's the national Philippines eSIM — from $3.45/day with unlimited data, working the same in Bohol as it does the moment you leave it.

Landing at Bohol-Panglao International Airport (TAG)?

Install the QR at home, then switch the eSIM on as you taxi in — you're online before you reach the arrivals hall.

Your Bohol eSIM: data-only, zero bill shock.

Your Bohol eSIM handles the internet while you travel. Your home number stays exactly where it is — no surprise roaming charges in Bohol, no swapping your real SIM out.

No roaming bills, ever

Turn data roaming OFF on your home SIM and ON for the eSIM. You pay once, up front — no overage, no metered surprises, no bill waiting when you land home.

Because it's data-only, the eSIM can't receive bank verification (OTP) text codes — those still go to your home number. Keep it reachable on Wi-Fi calling, or use app-based codes.
