Your Central Asia eSIM in two questions
Which Central Asia eSIM plan fits your route?
Your route might run from Almaty to Samarkand, or stretch from Tashkent into Tajikistan, and this one eSIM covers both.
- Three days, Tashkent to Samarkand, light use: 1 GB for 7 days is enough for maps, messages and email.
- A week, Almaty to Issyk-Kul, standard use: 5 GB for 30 days covers social media, music and some video.
- A month of heavy use, Tashkent to Dushanbe: 2 GB a day for 30 days, with room for streaming and maps.
- Just Kyrgyzstan: a trip to one country alone suits its own eSIM, so start at the Kyrgyzstan eSIM page and pick your plan there.
Tajikistan is only in this bundle, while the other Central Asia bundle swaps it for Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

Which countries and networks does the Central Asia eSIM cover?
Four countries sit on this one eSIM, and two of them have 5G. Your phone switches network by itself at each border, so you can cross from one country to the next without touching a setting.
- Uzbekistan: Beeline, your network in Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara.
- Kazakhstan: Beeline in Almaty and Astana. Signal thins out in the steppe.
- Tajikistan: MegaFon and ZET, the only country here with two networks. Dushanbe and the main towns are covered, but signal is patchy in the Pamir mountains.
Your data reaches the internet through the United Kingdom, a normal setup for travel eSIMs; here's what that means for your IP address.
