Can I stay connected on the Mount Pinatubo trek?

Only partly. The 4x4 lahar trail and crater-lake hike lose signal quickly, so download the route and offline maps in Angeles or Clark first, and agree a meeting point and time with your driver.

Is this a Pampanga-only plan?

No. It's the single national Philippines eSIM. The same plan works across Clark and Angeles and everywhere else in the country, so you can carry straight on to Manila, Baguio or the beaches without buying another SIM.

Good to know in Pampanga

Clark's freeport and Angeles are strongly covered, but the Mount Pinatubo 4x4 and crater trek lose all signal within minutes — download the trail, and agree a meeting time with your driver before you set off.

Best time to visit Pampanga

November to May is dry and pleasant; come mid-December for the Giant Lantern Festival or February for the Clark hot-air balloon fiesta.

Two simple ways to buy

Pampanga eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Pampanga eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Pampanga — 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

Pampanga eSIM: your local data guide.

Pampanga is the culinary capital of the Philippines and the gateway through Clark International Airport. Feast on Angeles City sisig, watch San Fernando's Giant Lantern Festival glow, or trek the surreal crater lake of Mount Pinatubo. A Pampanga eSIM has you online from the moment you clear Clark arrivals, through the freeport and out to the lahar fields.

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

Landing at Clark International Airport (CRK)?

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

Across the region

Where you'll lean on data in Pampanga.

Clark & Angeles City

The freeport and Angeles carry strong, developed-zone 5G/4G for arrivals, hotels and hotspotting.

San Fernando

The capital holds steady data for the Giant Lantern Festival and Christmas-season crowds.

Mount Pinatubo

The 4x4 lahar trail and crater trek lose signal fast — download the route and offline maps first.

Candaba

The wetlands are quieter for coverage; fine for birding pins but don't rely on a stream out here.

The practical bit

Getting around Pampanga on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Pampanga

Grab— The main ride-hailing app around Clark and Angeles City for cars from the airport.
Joyride— Motorcycle-taxi app operating in the Clark and Angeles area for quick short hops.
Waze— Live routing along the NLEX/SCTEX expressways feeding Clark and San Fernando.
GCash— The super-app for paying restaurants, tricycles and shops across Pampanga by QR.

How long to stay in Pampanga

Pampanga is often a one- to two-day stop around Clark — for the food, the Lantern Festival or a dawn trek up Mount Pinatubo.

How much data for Pampanga

A balanced 3-5 GB covers a short Clark-and-Angeles stay of maps, dining and ride-hailing; opt for Unlimited if you're working from the freeport or streaming on the road.

Coverage in Pampanga

Clark, Angeles and San Fernando enjoy strong developed-zone 5G and 4G, but the Mount Pinatubo 4x4 trail, crater trek and Candaba wetlands see coverage drop away quickly.
