## Networks

- Mongolia: Mobicom (4G)

## How much data do you need in Mongolia?

Match how long you're staying with how much you'll use, and the right plan is easy to spot.

- **A city break in Ulaanbaatar:** Three days of messages and maps around the capital suits 1 GB for 7 days.
- **A fortnight touring:** Two weeks taking in Kharkhorin, the Gobi Desert and Lake Khövsgöl, with social media and some video, suits 10 GB for 30 days.
- **A week-long business trip:** Seven days of messages, maps and some video suits 5 GB for 30 days.
- **A month-long stay:** Thirty days of social media, music and video fits 20 GB for 30 days.

Every plan can be [topped up](/help/top-up-esim), so you can add more data if your trip runs longer than planned.

## Which network will my eSIM use in Mongolia?

Mobicom is the network your eSIM joins in Mongolia, and it runs on 4G. Your phone picks it by itself, so there's nothing to choose. Ulaanbaatar and the larger towns are well covered, but signal is patchy or absent in the Gobi Desert and remote countryside. Off to the Gobi? Download your maps while you're still in the city.

Your data reaches the internet through Singapore, a normal setup for travel eSIMs, and you can read more in [how IP addresses work abroad](/help/ip-address-another-country). Daily plans slow to the fair use speed once you've used that day's allowance.

## Using your phone in Mongolia: data tips

- **Landing at Chinggis Khaan International (UBN):** Install your eSIM on Wi-Fi at home, then switch it on as you land. Turn on [data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) for the eSIM line, and you're set for the trip into town.
- **Beyond the capital:** Your eSIM runs on Mobicom's 4G network, which serves Ulaanbaatar, Terelj, Kharkhorin, the Gobi Desert and Lake Khövsgöl, from the big city to the wide open spaces.
- **Staying in touch:** Your Facebook Messenger chats run on eSIM data, and your home number stays on for calls and texts. Read how to [keep your home number](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number) before you fly.
- **Data for your days:** Light use, like maps and messages, is about 0.25 GB a day. Standard use, with social media and music, is about 0.7 GB. Streaming and hotspot push it to about 1.8 GB a day. Every plan can be topped up mid-trip.

## Questions

### How much is an eSIM for Mongolia?

Mongolia eSIMs start at £6.99 for 1 GB over 7 days. A 5 GB plan for 30 days costs £28.99. Prices include any taxes and show in pounds, euros or dollars.

### Which networks does the Mongolia eSIM use?

Your eSIM connects to Mobicom in Mongolia. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically.

### When does my Mongolia eSIM start?

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

### Can I top up my Mongolia eSIM?

Yes. Most Mongolia 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?

Mongolia plans route your data through Singapore, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Websites and apps may show that country's content; your speed and coverage in Mongolia 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.

### How do I get data when I land at Chinggis Khaan International Airport?

Install your eSIM at home before you fly, then switch on data roaming once you land at Chinggis Khaan International (UBN). It's a single setting, easy to overlook when you're tired after a long flight.

### Is there 5G in Mongolia?

No. Your eSIM in Mongolia runs on Mobicom's 4G network, and 4G handles maps, messages and everyday browsing with ease. Most phones from the last few years support 4G, so check yours before you buy.

### Can I use Facebook Messenger in Mongolia?

Yes. Facebook Messenger is the messaging app to know about in Mongolia, so log in before you fly. Your eSIM's data carries your messages, so you can keep in touch with the people you meet along the way.

### Will hotspot use a lot of data in Mongolia?

Yes. In Mongolia, hotspot use counts as heavy use, alongside streaming, so it needs much more data than messages and maps. If you plan to share your connection with a laptop, read how to set up your phone as a hotspot first.

### What happens when I use up my daily data in Mongolia?

In Mongolia, a daily plan drops your data to 384 Kbps once you've used that day's allowance. Choose a bigger daily allowance if you stream a lot, so you hit that limit less often.
