What is Visa GigSky eSIM

Visa Signature and Visa Infinite cardholders get complimentary international mobile data through GigSky eSIM. This lets you stay connected in 190+ countries without expensive roaming charges or hunting for local SIM cards.

The benefit provides free data each time you travel internationally—no need to pay for roaming or buy local SIM cards.

Who Has Access

This is a network-level benefit provided by Visa, not individual card issuers:

  • Visa Signature cardholders
  • Visa Infinite cardholders (enhanced data allocation)
  • Cards must be issued by participating US banks
  • Check your physical card for the Visa Signature or Visa Infinite logo

Your phone must also be eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked.

How It Works

3. Redeem Your Benefit

  • Enter your Visa card details to verify eligibility

Pro Tips

  • Set up before your trip: Don't wait until you're at the airport

  • Multiple cards? You can redeem the benefit from each eligible card

Troubleshooting
