Find the right SIM or recharge plan — wherever you are

Pardes SIM is a free comparison tool for Indians who need a mobile plan — either at home or while traveling abroad. For each destination, we compare local telecom operators' prepaid/tourist plans against Indian operators' (Jio, Airtel, Vi) international roaming packs, so you can see which actually works out cheaper and better for your trip.

No. We only compare published plans and point you to the provider's own site or app to buy. We never collect payment details and never process a recharge or SIM purchase ourselves.

It depends on what you need. A travel eSIM (like Airalo or Holafly) is usually the easiest option for data only, but almost all eSIM plans are data-only — if you need a working local phone number for calls or OTPs, you still need a real local SIM or your Indian number kept alive on a roaming pack. Our country pages break down the actual price and what each option includes.

India (Jio/Airtel/Vi domestic plans), plus the countries Indians travel to most: Thailand, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Singapore, Malaysia, USA, and Oman. We're adding more — Qatar, UK and Canada are next.

We pull from each operator's own published pricing and note the date we last checked on every page. Telecom prices change often, so always confirm the exact current price on the operator's own site or app before you buy.
