On the Rock, pick the trip that sounds most like yours and the plan follows. - **A long weekend in Gibraltar Town:** 3 days of standard use, so 1 GB a day for 3 days. That covers maps, messages and some social media as you explore. - **Two weeks touring the Rock:** 14 days of standard use, so 10 GB for 30 days. That's plenty for maps and messages from the Upper Rock Nature Reserve to Europa Point and Catalan Bay. - **A month-long stay:** 30 days of standard use, which means 20 GB for 30 days. It leaves room for music and some video as well. - **A trip that also takes in a neighbouring country:** the [Europe bundle for 33 countries](/esim/europe-33-countries) covers Gibraltar too, so you can keep one eSIM for the wider trip. Most plans can be topped up if your trip changes partway through. ## Which network will my eSIM use in Gibraltar? Good news: your eSIM joins GibTel, Gibraltar's own network, and GibTel runs on 5G, so a 5G phone can use it. Your phone picks GibTel by itself, so there's nothing to choose once you've landed. Near the border, your phone may switch to a Spanish network, so check which network you're connected to. Your data reaches the internet through Belgium, a normal setup for travel eSIMs, and our [IP address help page](/help/ip-address-another-country) explains what that means for you. Daily plans slow to the fair use speed once the day's allowance is used up. ## Using your phone in Gibraltar: data tips Land at Gibraltar International (GIB), switch your eSIM on, and you are set. Install it at home on Wi-Fi first, so there is no fiddling at the airport. - **Arriving:** Switch on your eSIM, then [turn on data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) for the eSIM line, and your phone is set up for the trip. - **Getting around:** Check your route to Gibraltar Town, Europa Point, Catalan Bay or the Upper Rock Nature Reserve before you set out, so you can spend more time looking at the views and less at your screen. - **Staying in touch:** Message people back home on WhatsApp, and send them a photo of the view. Your [home number](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number) can stay on for calls and texts, so nobody needs a new number. - **Near the border:** Your phone may switch to a Spanish network, so check which network you are connected to. ## Questions ### How much is an eSIM for Gibraltar?

Every eSIMology plan is data only. Keep your own SIM switched on for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime or any calling app over your eSIM's data. ### What if my plans change? Cancel an eSIM you haven't installed within 30 days for a full refund to your card, in two taps from your eSIM page. ### Does WhatsApp work with an eSIM in Gibraltar?

Pick the one that matches your route. ### Can I still get online in Gibraltar after my daily data runs out? You can, on a daily plan in Gibraltar. Once the day's allowance is used up, your connection slows to a limited speed rather than stopping altogether, so you can still reach your messages.
