Travelling further?
These eSIMs cover Armenia and more countries on one plan.
Will my eSIM have signal in Armenia?
Your eSIM joins Vivacell, which offers 5G in Armenia. Your phone picks it up on its own, so there's no network to choose. Cities like Yerevan and Gyumri and main roads are well covered, though signal can drop in mountain areas.
Your data reaches the internet through the United Kingdom, a normal setup for travel eSIMs; our IP address guide explains what that means. On daily plans, speed drops to 512 Kbps once you've used that day's allowance, so pick a bigger plan if you'll stream.
How much data do you need in Armenia?
Light: maps, messages, email (about 0.25 GB a day). Standard: plus social, music, some video (about 0.7 GB a day). Heavy: plus streaming, video calls, hotspot (about 1.8 GB a day).

How to set up your Armenia eSIM
Install at home

Using your phone in Armenia: arrival, rides and messages
- Land and switch on: Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi, then switch it on as you land at Zvartnots (EVN). Turn on data roaming for the eSIM line. Your eSIM runs on Vivacell, which has 5G.
- Getting around: Yandex Go and GG are the ride apps to use from the airport, so set both up before you fly into Yerevan.
- Staying in touch: WhatsApp, Viber and Telegram are the messaging apps to have on your phone, so sign in to each one before you fly, while you still have Wi-Fi. Your home number stays on for calls and texts, and this guide covers WhatsApp.
- Day trips: Most plans can be topped up, so if you need more data on a trip to Gyumri, Dilijan, Vagharshapat or Sevan, top up without buying a new eSIM.
