To ensure you have instant connectivity the moment you arrive in the Philippines, we strongly recommend scanning and installing your EastESIM QR code while you are still at home, before your flight. This proactive step means that as soon as you land at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) in Manila or Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB), your data will be active. You can then immediately use navigation, message family, or arrange transport without the hassle of finding airport Wi-Fi.
