Destination eSIMs

Choose the country you will actually visit. Each card opens its own plans, allowances and validity options.

Prices may change. Always check the product page for the latest prices before purchasing.

Plan around border crossings, not just trip length

Match the route first

For Almaty and Bishkek, compare Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan destination plans with CIS. For a trip continuing to Uzbekistan or Tajikistan, choose those destination products separately: they are not in the CIS coverage list.

Count the days across the full route

A CIS plan carries its remaining data and validity across included borders. Crossing into another included destination does not reset the allowance or extend the expiry. Match the plan duration to your first and final connected days.

Choose total data or a daily allowance

A fixed-data plan gives one pool for the entire validity period. CIS daily Unlimited plans refresh the high-speed allowance each day and continue at their stated reduced speed afterwards. Include hotspot use when estimating your needs.

Central Asia eSIM questions

Does CIS include Uzbekistan, Tajikistan or Mongolia?

No. CIS covers Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine. Use the individual destination products in this collection for Uzbekistan, Tajikistan or Mongolia.

Does CIS include calls, SMS or a local number?

No. CIS is data-only. You can use calling and messaging apps over data; conventional calls, SMS and a local phone number are not included.

Can one CIS allowance continue across borders?

Yes, across its seven included destinations. Your remaining allowance and plan validity continue rather than starting again at the border.

Can a larger plan improve reception on mountain routes?

A larger allowance adds data, not network coverage. Save essential maps, tickets and booking details offline before remote journeys.

Where should I get help choosing a plan?
