English
An eSIM for Central Asia is a digital data plan for the phone you already own. There is no physical SIM card, no airport lines, and no passport needed. Your plan is ready on your SIMAREA account before you even leave home.
It works safely alongside your normal SIM. You keep your own number for calls and important text messages. Your data goes through the SIMAREA plan. Just turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid high bills.
Coverage comes from local partner networks in each country. Your phone connects to the next one as you cross a border.
This plan does not include a local phone number. If you need a number for verification codes, use a virtual number.
What it is not: a local phone number. If you need a number for verification codes, see virtual numbers.
Central Asia eSIM for Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan
5GKazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan are on every plan here. The 4-country plans add Tajikistan; the 5-country plans and the day pass add Pakistan and Sri Lanka instead. All of them exit in the UK and count their days from the first connection.
The unlimited plan is the widest of the day passes we hold for Central Asia: after its daily full-speed allowance it keeps you connected at a lower speed, and it is billed per day for the days you choose. Fixed plans are one price for the term shown. Nothing on this page is an estimate.
One plan for the countries on its list
Set it up at home the night before. Your eSIM waits quietly until you arrive.
Pick eSIM plan
Choose how long you are there. The day pass is billed per day, so the term is yours to set.
Pay, then scan
Charged from your balance, which you top up with crypto. Your QR code is in your dashboard once the order is paid.
Turn it on at your first stop
Turn on data roaming for your SIMAREA plan when you arrive. After that it connects in each country on its list.
What to know about the Central Asia eSIM
The specifics that decide whether a travel eSIM is useful once you're actually there.
Local networks in each country
The plan connects to partner networks in every country it covers. Where a country has more than one, your phone can use any of them.
Set up before you go
No SIM card store, no passport check. Install it at home, then turn on data roaming for it when you arrive.
Hotspot sharing
Share your internet with a laptop or a friend, if your plan and phone allow it.
Keep your own number
The eSIM is just for internet. Your normal SIM still receives calls and important bank codes. You can use both at once.
Staying longer?
Some plans here can be topped up with more data on the same eSIM; others are fixed.
If it does not work
Not installed or connected yet? Ask for a refund within 30 days of buying it. Installed but not working on any of its networks? Support helps, and refunds you if it cannot be fixed.
Central Asia eSIM: the 4-country list and the 5-country list
Each plan in the picker shows a country count, and here it reads 4 or 5. Those are two lists with three countries in common:
- 4 countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. 1 GB for 7 days, 3 GB for 15 days, 3 to 20 GB for 30 days, and 50 GB for 180 days. These plans reach 5G where the partner offers it, which here means ZET in Tajikistan and Beeline in Uzbekistan.
- 5 countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The same sizes up to 30 days, plus the day pass, all on 4G and 3G.
In Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan both lists connect to Beeline, so the network there doesn't change with the list; only the 5G mark in Uzbekistan does.
Which list fits your Silk Road route
- Almaty, Bishkek, Tashkent, Samarkand, and Bukhara. Either list covers this loop. Choose by days and data.
- Dushanbe or the Pamir Highway. Only the 4-country plans list Tajikistan. The day pass leaves it out, and so does every other multi-country plan we sell, Asia and Global 130 included.
- Central Asia plus Pakistan or Sri Lanka. The 5-country plans or the day pass, on Jazz in Pakistan and Mobitel in Sri Lanka.
- Tajikistan and Pakistan on one trip. No plan here lists both. Buy the list that covers most of the route and add a Pakistan or Tajikistan plan for the other.
Central Asia plan or a single-country plan
The Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan pages sell plans of 7 to 30 days on 4G and 3G. A Central Asia plan pays off once you cross a border. It's also the only way to cover all four countries for 180 days on one plan, and the only plan we sell with 5G in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
Going on to China, Japan, or Thailand? The Asia eSIM day pass lists Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka together with them, though not Tajikistan. Global 130 lists the same five, also without Tajikistan.
Central Asia eSIM questions
Which Central Asia eSIM covers Tajikistan?
Every 4-country plan, from 1 GB for 7 days to 50 GB for 180 days. In Tajikistan these plans use ZET, marked 5G, and MegaFon. The day pass and the 5-country plans don't list Tajikistan.
Is the Central Asia day pass unlimited?
Not at full speed. Each day starts with 1 GB at full speed, then the connection drops to 512 Kbps until the day resets. The pass runs on the 5-country list, on 4G and 3G, and it can't be topped up, so set all your days at checkout.
Can I top up the 180-day plan?
No. The 50 GB plan and the day pass are the two Central Asia plans without top-ups. Every other plan here can be topped up with more data on the same eSIM, so a 30-day plan that runs low doesn't need a new QR code.
Which country's IP will websites see?
The UK's, on every Central Asia plan, whether you're in Almaty, Tashkent, or Colombo.
