Gibraltar travel data guide
A Gibraltar eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Gibraltar that you install before you fly. Plans in Gibraltar run on GibTel, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 13 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $1.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Global eSIM covers Gibraltar and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Gibraltar, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Gibraltar from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Gibraltar FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Gibraltar?
It connects wherever GibTel has signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Gibraltar, not at purchase. The plan selected above (10 GB) runs for 30 days from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Gibraltar?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Does the Europe plan include Gibraltar?
No, Gibraltar is not on our Europe plan's country list. The Global plan does include it. If you are visiting Gibraltar from Spain, add a Gibraltar plan for the days you are there, or use the Global plan for the whole trip.
What is the shortest plan for Gibraltar?
The shortest Gibraltar plan is unlimited for 1 day. It gives full speed up to the plan's daily amount, then up to 1 Mbps. The shortest fixed plan is 1 GB valid for 7 days, so there is no small fixed plan for a single day.
Is the Gibraltar eSIM 5G?
GibTel, the network used by our Gibraltar plans, is listed as 5G, and plans are labelled 3G/4G/5G or 4G/5G. You will need a 5G phone. Where 5G is not available the phone uses 4G.
Can I have a Spain eSIM and a Gibraltar eSIM on the same phone?
Yes. Phones that support eSIM can store more than one. Install both at home, use the Spain plan in Spain, and change the mobile data line to the Gibraltar eSIM when you cross. The Gibraltar plan's days only start at its first connection there.
Do I need to turn on data roaming in Gibraltar?
Yes, turn data roaming on for the Gibraltar eSIM line. It needs that setting to connect to GibTel. Keep data roaming off on your home SIM so your carrier does not bill you for data.
Can I use hotspot on a Gibraltar day plan?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Gibraltar plans, including the 1 day unlimited plan. Shared use counts toward the daily full speed amount, and once that is used the connection continues at up to 1 Mbps.
Can I top up in Gibraltar if I stay longer?
Some Gibraltar plans support top up and others do not. The plan card shows it. If you extend your stay on a plan without top up, buy another plan and install the new QR code on WiFi.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
