## Networks

- Kazakhstan: Beeline (4G)

## Which Kazakhstan eSIM plan do I need?

Your eSIM connects to Beeline's 4G network in Kazakhstan, so match the plan to your days and how much you use.

- **A city break in Almaty or Astana:** Pick 1 GB a day for 3 days and you can spend the trip exploring, not checking data.
- **A fortnight touring the country:** Two weeks of standard use, with social media, music and some video, suits 10 GB for 30 days.
- **A month-long stay:** Standard use for the whole month fits 20 GB for 30 days, so you can settle in and stop thinking about data.
- **A trip that also takes in a neighbour:** Pick the [Central Asia bundle covering five countries](/esim/central-asia), Kazakhstan included.

Most plans can be [topped up](/help/top-up-esim), and the longest one lasts 30 days.

## Will my eSIM have signal in Kazakhstan?

Beeline is the network your eSIM joins in Kazakhstan, and it runs on 4G here. Cities are well covered, but signal thins out in the steppe and remote mountain areas, so expect a quieter connection once you leave town. Your phone picks Beeline by itself.

Messages on WhatsApp or Telegram, and rides in Yandex Go or inDrive, all run over that connection. Your data reaches the internet through a United Kingdom IP address, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Read how [IP addresses work abroad](/help/ip-address-another-country).

Daily plans slow to 512 Kbps once you've used that day's allowance, so keep heavy days in mind.

## Using your phone in Kazakhstan: data tips

- **Arriving:** Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi, then switch it on when you land at Almaty (ALA) or Astana (NQZ). Keep [data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) on for the eSIM line.
- **Getting around:** 2GIS is widely used locally for detailed city maps and directions, so download it before you go. For a ride, Yandex Go and inDrive are the local apps.
- **Staying in touch:** WhatsApp and Telegram are the messaging apps to have ready. Your home number stays on for calls and texts, and [this guide](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number) shows how to keep WhatsApp working with it.
- **Your UK address:** Your data routes through the United Kingdom, so sites that check your location see a UK address.
- **Data for the week:** Standard use, with social media, music and some video, is about 4.9 GB a week. Light use of maps, messages and email is about 1.8 GB a week.

## Questions

### How much is an eSIM for Kazakhstan?

Kazakhstan eSIMs start at £3.99 for 100 MB over 7 days. A 5 GB plan for 30 days costs £8.99. Prices include any taxes and show in pounds, euros or dollars.

### Which networks does the Kazakhstan eSIM use?

Your eSIM connects to Beeline in Kazakhstan. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically.

### When does my Kazakhstan eSIM start?

Most plans start the moment your eSIM first connects to a network in Kazakhstan, so you can buy and install it at home before you fly. Install it within 180 days of buying.

### Can I top up my Kazakhstan eSIM?

Yes. Most Kazakhstan 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?

Kazakhstan 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 Kazakhstan 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.

### Do Yandex Go and inDrive work with an eSIM in Almaty?

Yes. Yandex Go and inDrive are the local ride apps in Almaty and Astana, and they run on your mobile data. Download both before you fly into Almaty airport (ALA) or Astana airport (NQZ), so you're not hunting for them at the kerb.

### Is there 5G in Kazakhstan?

No. Beeline, the network your eSIM uses in Kazakhstan, runs on 4G, so a 5G phone will simply use 4G here. That's what carries your maps, messages and rides in Almaty or Astana.

### Can I use WhatsApp and Telegram in Kazakhstan with an eSIM?

Yes. WhatsApp and Telegram are the two messaging apps to have ready in Kazakhstan, and both run over your eSIM's mobile data. Set them up on Wi-Fi before you go, then check your messages on the move.

### Which map app do people use in Kazakhstan?

2GIS is the one to try in Kazakhstan. It's widely used locally for detailed city maps and directions, so download it before you fly and search for your hotel in Almaty, Astana or Shymkent.

### Does one eSIM cover Kazakhstan and Central Asia?

Yes. Central Asia plans cover Kazakhstan together with other countries in the region, and an Asia plan covers 19 countries if your route takes you further. That means you can cover a longer trip without a second eSIM.

### Can I share my connection as a hotspot in Kazakhstan?

Yes, and sharing with a laptop counts as heavy use here. On daily plans, speeds drop once you've used your day's allowance, so keep an eye on it while tethering.
