Maya Mobile eSIM (2026) review

Ever since I first came across eSIMs and the whole concept around them, one thing remained consistent in my head.

Which eSIM is best for which country? For example, three years back I decided to go backpacking in Northern Thailand.

And before I boarded my flight from New Delhi, India, I went through more than 12 eSIM providers.

Well, I ended up not being convinced by any of them cause after Thailand, I wanted to visit Cambodia and Vietnam, and there was no eSIM that made a lot of sense based on the data and the cost.

So, I just decided to buy one in Thailand itself.

Trust me, this is a problem a lot of my fellow traveller friends face regularly, and it seems like Maya Mobile was always eavesdropping on this.

It completely revamped its structure this year and is now offering plans based on just the number of days, with universal coverage across 165+ nations.

So, should you change your conventional eSIM buying methods with Maya Mobile, and does it stack up well against the best eSIMs for international travel that we've tested? Let’s find out.

Maya Mobile: Plans and pricing (Image credit: Maya mobile) Let’s start with the pricing first.

There are currently only four Maya Mobile plans for users: Validity Price 3 days $9.99 7 days $19.99 14 days $27.99 30 days $49.99 All four include the same global coverage, and Maya doesn't charge differently depending on whether you're visiting Thailand, Japan, the US, or France.

A "day" is a full 24 hours from when the plan starts.

There's no mandatory subscription either, although Auto Top-Up can be enabled if you want another plan purchased automatically when the existing one expires.

Now, this makes the plan super simple, but is it flexible and customizable? I have my doubts.

Say you're taking a five-day holiday.
