How do I add more data to an Airalo Discover+ Global eSIM?
Answer
Open the Airalo app, select that eSIM, and use Top Up if shown. Airalo data packs are data-only; if Top Up is missing, that package cannot be extended and you buy a new data eSIM instead.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Only install eSIMs from the official Airalo app to avoid fraudulent QR codes.
Follow these steps
Open the eSIM in Airalo
Launch the Airalo app, sign in, and open My eSIMs. Select the Discover+ Global eSIM.
You should see: You see package details, remaining data, and validity.
Look for Top Up
On that eSIM’s page, tap Top Up if available and choose a data amount that matches what you need.
You should see: You see data-only top-up options with prices and durations.
Buy a new pack only if Top Up is missing
If there is no Top Up option, purchase a new compatible data eSIM/package and install it when prompted. Remove or disable the old empty package afterward if the phone allows.
You should see: A new data package appears as active or ready to install.
Confirm mobile data uses Airalo
In phone network settings, select the Airalo eSIM for mobile data, turn on roaming for that line if required, and open a webpage.
You should see: Data works and the Airalo app shows usage decreasing on the new or topped-up package.

Extra tips
What to look for: A Top Up button on the eSIM details screen, remaining data, and validity dates in the Airalo app.
Before you change anything: Confirm you are in the official Airalo app. Note remaining data and expiry before purchasing. Avoid installing unrelated “unlimited” call/text plans if you only need data.
