Is there an unlimited data eSIM for Afghanistan?

Not at the moment. The largest plan for Afghanistan includes 3 GB of data, which is enough for most trips.

Which network does the eSIM use in Afghanistan?

The eSIM connects to local partner networks in Afghanistan and supports 4G. It selects the strongest available network automatically.

Does the eSIM also work in neighbouring countries?

A plan for Afghanistan works only in Afghanistan. For multi-country trips have a look at our regional and global plans.

Do I get a local Afghanistan phone number?

No. These are data-only plans. Your own SIM stays active, so you keep receiving calls and SMS, and apps like WhatsApp work over the eSIM data.

Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Afghanistan, not when you buy or install it. You can install it days before your trip.

How much data do I need for a week in Afghanistan?

For a 7-day trip with maps, messaging and social media, 3 GB is usually enough. Our pick for that: 3 GB / 30 days – $16.99.

Can I install the eSIM before travelling to Afghanistan?

Yes, and we recommend it. Install it at home on Wi-Fi, keep the line switched off and turn it on after landing in Afghanistan.

Can I share data with a hotspot?

Yes. Unless the plan details say otherwise, you can share the eSIM data with your laptop or tablet using personal hotspot.

How do I know if my phone supports eSIM?

Dial *#06#. If an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. The phone must also be unlocked (not tied to one carrier).
