What travelers say about Roamix
“Bought my plan while waiting for my bags in Denpasar. By the time I walked out of the airport, I was already calling my driver. 10/10 service.”
Essential for digital nomads
I've tried every eSIM provider and Roamix has the most stable connection. I worked from a cafe in Lisbon for a week using just their data. Highly recommend.
Game changer for travel
Super simple interface. I'm not tech-savvy but I had this set up in under 2 minutes. The 5G speeds in New York were incredible.
Outstanding support
Had a small issue with my setting and the support team replied in under 5 minutes. They actually know their stuff. Truly impressive.

Quick answers before you go.
A Bhutan eSIM is a digital SIM that gives your phone mobile data in Bhutan, with no plastic card to swap. You buy it online, scan the QR code we email you, and your phone connects to a local network as soon as you arrive.
Scan the QR code from your email or your Roamix account in your phone's settings, ideally at home on Wi-Fi before you fly. When you land in Bhutan, turn on data roaming for the Roamix line and you're online.
Yes. Your usual SIM stays in your phone, so calls, texts and WhatsApp keep your number. Roamix runs alongside it as a second line just for data in Bhutan.
Install it a day or two before you fly, at home on Wi-Fi. Most plans don't start counting days until you connect in Bhutan, so installing early costs you nothing and you step off the plane already online.
Most phones from 2018 on support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and Google Pixel 3 and newer. Your phone also needs to be carrier unlocked. Our free compatibility checker confirms both in seconds.
You get 4G LTE across our coverage in Bhutan, and 5G where the local network offers it. Real speeds depend on where you are, how busy the network is, and your phone.
Your data simply pauses, with no surprise overage charges. We send alerts when you've used 50% and 80%, and you can top up in a tap from your Roamix account without reinstalling anything.
Yes, if it isn't installed yet. You can get a full refund within 14 days of buying by emailing support@roamix.app with your order number. Once the eSIM is installed, the plan counts as used and can't be refunded.
Roamix Bhutan eSIM plans start at $7.80. Bigger plans cost less per GB, so they're the better deal for longer trips or heavy data use. Compare every Bhutan plan at the top of this page.
No. If your phone supports eSIM, which most phones since 2018 do, you can get data in Bhutan without a physical SIM. Download it before you travel and skip the store and the airport queue. Your home SIM stays active for calls and texts.
Yes, Roamix provides reliable eSIM data coverage across Bhutan's main hubs, including Thimphu, Paro, and Punakha. The eSIM connects to Bhutan's local mobile networks, keeping you online in cities and popular trekking regions alike.
Yes, Roamix works well at Paro Taktsang (Tiger's Nest Monastery), Punakha Dzong, and the Buddha Dordenma statue in Thimphu. You can use your data to navigate mountain roads, book permits, and share photos while exploring the kingdom.
Yes, your Roamix eSIM activates automatically once you arrive at Paro International Airport (PBH), Bhutan's only international gateway. You can immediately message your tour guide, use maps, or check in without hunting for airport WiFi.
For a typical week-long Bhutan tour, 5-7 GB covers maps, messaging, and social media for most travelers. Since Bhutan requires visitors to travel with a licensed guide, extra data for navigation and translation apps is worth adding if you plan to venture into remote valleys like Haa or Bumthang.
Roamix provides solid coverage in Thimphu, Paro, and Punakha, but connectivity thins out in high-altitude trekking areas near the Tibetan border. Bhutan's mountainous terrain limits network towers in remote districts, so download offline maps before multi-day treks like Jomolhari.
Yes, Roamix offers Bhutan eSIM plans from 3 to 30 days, matching the typical length of a guided Bhutan tour. You can pick a plan that fits your itinerary without paying for unused data.
Roamix is a strong eSIM choice for Bhutan because it connects to local carriers like Bhutan Telecom's B-Mobile network, offering solid coverage across Thimphu, Paro, and the main tourist trail. With instant activation and flexible plans, Roamix lets you stay connected without buying a local SIM card at Paro Airport.
