Your Gibraltar eSIM in two questions
Which Gibraltar eSIM plan do I need?
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 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.

These eSIMs cover Gibraltar and more countries on one plan.
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 explains what that means for you. Daily plans slow to the fair use speed once the day's allowance is used up.

- Arriving: Switch on your eSIM, then 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.
