How to Purchase Daily Plans or Credits with Grab

Updated over a month ago

Ready to get connected? Using Firsty within the Grab app gives you the most flexible travel data experience available. Here is everything you need to know about buying plans and how our Credits system works.

How to Purchase a Data Plan

Buying data is simple. We offer two main ways to connect, depending on your travel style:

1. Choose Your Plan Type

  • Per GB (Standard): Best for light users or multi-country trips. You can select bundles ranging from 1GB to 100GB. These credits do not expire and can be used across different countries!

  • Unlimited (Day Pass): Best for heavy users who want peace of mind. Select the specific number of days you need (e.g., 1, 7, or 15 days). The more days you buy at once, the higher the discount.

2. Select Your Destination

Tap the Price for [Country] button to select where you are traveling. Doing a multi-stop trip? You can add multiple locations to a single plan.

3. Payment

No need to pull out a new card. Payments are handled seamlessly via your linked methods in Grab (GrabPay, Visa, Mastercard, etc.).

Understanding Firsty Credits

Firsty Credits act as a universal currency for your data. Unlike traditional eSIMs where you buy a specific amount of GBs that are locked to one country, Credits provide a layer of flexibility that allows you to move your data wherever you go.

💰 The 100% Cashback Offer

If you are a new user, you might see a "Get 100% cashback" banner. Here is how it works:

  • The Deal: When you buy your first plan, the full amount is immediately credited back to your Firsty wallet.

  • Why it matters: It's effectively a "buy one, get one free" deal on your initial data. If you pay $3.00, you get 1GB of data instantly, plus $3.00 in credits waiting in your Firsty wallet for your next trip.

🌍 Dynamic Currency

Credits don't have a fixed value; their "buying power" changes depending on where you are. For example, If you have 500 credits and move from the Philippines (cheaper data rates) to a country with higher rates, the app automatically recalculates how many GBs those credits are worth.

🚕 The "Always Online" Guarantee

Ran out of high-speed data? Don't worry. Because the Firsty eSIM is integrated with Grab, you can continue to use the Grab app (for rides or food) even if you have zero credits left in your wallet.
