Can I gift an eSIM to someone else?

Yes. You pay, and the eSIM opens straight in the recipient's account. You can also keep covering their later top-ups.

3 分钟

You can buy an eSIM plan for someone else. There is no code to forward and no voucher to redeem: as soon as payment goes through, the eSIM appears in the recipient's Penyu account and the QR code goes to them.

  1. 01Pick the planChoose their destination and a suitable plan. If you know how long they are staying and how they use their phone, the data calculator makes the choice easy.
  2. 02Choose "Send as a gift"On the plan page, enter the recipient's e-mail address. You can add their name and a short note.
  3. 03You payThe gift goes into your cart like any other item and follows the normal checkout. The invoice is issued to you.
  4. 04The eSIM opens for themOnce payment is approved the line is created in their account and a notification e-mail goes to them. If they do not have an account yet, signing up with that same address puts the eSIM right there.
You can cover their top-ups too

Tick "I will cover future top-ups" on the gift screen and any data they add later is charged to your card. It exists for exactly one situation: you do not want someone abroad fumbling with a card.

Where the gifted eSIM shows up

  • For you: under "My orders", together with the recipient details. It will not appear in your own eSIM list - the line is not yours.
  • For them: in their eSIM list, with the QR code and remaining data.
  • In their inbox: the installation link and QR code.

常见问题

What if the recipient has no Penyu account?

The eSIM is still issued to that e-mail address. When they sign up with the same address, it is waiting in their account - and the notification e-mail walks them through it.

I typed the wrong e-mail - can I fix it?

Not on your own. Write to support with your order number; if the eSIM has not been installed yet it can be moved to the right address.

Can I see how much data they have left?

No. Usage belongs to the owner of the line, which is the recipient. You can see the order status and that it was delivered.
