Asialink runs one profile across 18 Asian countries, with Japan, Thailand, China, Vietnam and India as its biggest markets. Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan complete the front of the covered list. The ladder holds 18 packages, from 500 MB over 3 days up to 100 GB over 180 days. Every package is metered in gigabytes, and no unlimited tier appears anywhere in the lineup.
Eighteen packages, none of them unlimited
The ladder holds 18 separate packages, each capped at a fixed number of gigabytes. The smallest, 500 MB over 3 days, was priced at $2.99, checked 5 September 2026. The largest, 100 GB over 180 days, was priced at $88.99, checked 5 September 2026. Blocks of 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20 and 50 GB fill the space between those two ends. The 5, 10 and 50 GB sizes each come back on 7, 15 and 30-day clocks at their own prices. Choosing here means choosing a number of gigabytes, because unlimited is not on the menu.
Android takes the APN by hand as wbdata
The APN value on this plan is wbdata, and Android will not put it in on its own. iOS writes the same wbdata string without a prompt, so an iPhone has no field to fill. One value serves all 18 countries on the profile. It does not change on the way from Japan to Vietnam, or anywhere else on the map. The value belongs to the plan rather than to any single country inside it.
Eleven places outside the map
Eleven places in the wider region sit outside the 18-country plan. The list runs Maldives, Nepal, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Bhutan, Brunei, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Timor-Leste. Four Central Asian names are on it: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. India is covered while its northern neighbours Nepal and Bhutan are not. A stop in any of the eleven needs an eSIM bought for that country separately.

- Eighteen countries share one profile, from Japan and China through to Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
