Do I need to install a new eSIM for Bhutan if I already have eSIM BFF?
No. If you already installed eSIM BFF on a previous trip, just buy a Bhutan package in your dashboard. It attaches to the eSIM you already have and works as soon as you land.
Does the Bhutan eSIM include a phone number?
It is a data-only eSIM. Your normal number keeps working for calls and SMS through your home SIM, and apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime and Telegram work over the eSIM data. This keeps prices low and setup simple.
Can I use hotspot with the Bhutan eSIM?

When should I buy my Bhutan eSIM?

The best Bhutan eSIM for most travelers is a prepaid data plan on B-Mobile and TashiCell that you install once and can top up later. eSIM BFF is built for that: 5 GB is BWP 255.15 (tax included), hotspot is on, and the same profile takes the next country. Airalo and Holafly also cover Bhutan — Airalo is usually a new country eSIM, Holafly is priced per day. Pick BFF if you want one profile and a GB price; pick Holafly if you truly need unlimited.
