These eSIMs cover Azerbaijan and more countries on one plan.
Which networks will my eSIM use in Azerbaijan?
Azercell and Bakcell are the two networks your eSIM can join in Azerbaijan. Your phone picks between them by itself, so there's nothing to set up once you land.
5G is available here, with 4G as the fallback, so you'll see the 5G symbol at the top of your screen when it's there. Daily plans slow to a fair use speed once you've used that day's allowance, so you'll still get online.
Your data reaches the internet through the United Kingdom, which is a normal setup for travel eSIMs. You can read more on the IP address help page.
How much data do you need in Azerbaijan?
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).

Which networks does the Azerbaijan eSIM use?
Your eSIM connects to Azercell and Bakcell in Azerbaijan, with 5G where the network has it. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically.

Can I top up my Azerbaijan eSIM?
Yes. Most Azerbaijan plans can be topped up from your eSIM page in two taps, with no new QR code. The plan table on this page shows which ones.
Why does my IP address show another country?
Azerbaijan plans route your data through United Kingdom, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Websites and apps may show that country's content; your speed and coverage in Azerbaijan are not affected.
Does it come with a phone number?
Every eSIMology plan is data only. Keep your own SIM switched on for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime or any calling app over your eSIM's data.
What if my plans change?
Cancel an eSIM you haven't installed within 30 days for a full refund to your card, in two taps from your eSIM page.
Does Yandex Go work in Baku with an eSIM?
Yes, Yandex Go works in Baku, and Bolt is the other ride app to know there. Both run on mobile data, so booking a ride takes a few taps once your eSIM is on.
Can I use WhatsApp in Azerbaijan on an eSIM?
Yes. WhatsApp and Telegram both run on your eSIM, so you can keep messaging family back home and new friends you meet on the road without switching apps.
How much data do I need for a week in Azerbaijan?
For a week of maps and messages, about 1.8 GB is enough. Add social media, music and some video and you need about 4.9 GB. Heavy streaming or hotspot use comes to about 12.6 GB.
Is there 5G in Azerbaijan?
Yes. Azerbaijan has 5G, and your eSIM can use 5G or 4G. Your phone moves between the two on its own, so there is nothing to set up.
Can one eSIM cover Azerbaijan and other Middle East countries?
Yes. Azerbaijan is part of the Middle East bundle, which covers 11 countries, so one eSIM can take you across more than one stop in the region. If your trip runs further, the Global bundles include Azerbaijan too.
