Best SIM Card for Two Weeks in the Philippines
No carrier sells an exact 14-day plan. Your best options are a 7-day plan you top up, or a 30-day plan that also covers unexpected extensions.

About this comparison
Two weeks sits in an awkward gap: longer than most 7-day promos, but shorter than the value you get from a full 30-day unlimited pack. Many travelers either stack a second week via top-up or buy a 30-day plan and accept the extra cost for simplicity. This page lays out both paths — physical SIM top-ups versus eSIMs with 30-day validity — so you can choose based on how much hassle you want at a 7-Eleven versus how much data you need for the second week.
How we compare plans
We include plans with validity of at least 14 days or combinations that cover two weeks in practice (e.g. 7+7 via top-up, or a single 30-day eSIM). Sorting emphasizes total cost over 14 days and data per day so you can see whether a 30-day plan is cheaper per day than two separate 7-day loads.
Nomad's 10 GB / 30-day eSIM at $17 covers two weeks with room to spare and undercuts Airalo's equivalent. It runs on Globe — choose Airalo instead if your trip leaves the major cities, since Airalo runs on Smart.

Frequently asked questions
A 30-day plan is almost always simpler and cheaper per-day. Topping up means finding a store and re-registering a promo, which can be confusing.
For navigation, messaging, social media, and occasional video calls — yes. That works out to about 700 MB/day. Heavy streaming will eat through it faster.
Airalo uses the Smart network, which has the widest island coverage. You'll have signal in most tourist areas including Palawan, Cebu, Boracay, and Siargao.
