Azerbaijan eSIM

Go to the product page of Azerbaijan in eSIM cards, select the cover that works best for your trip, and head to the checkout. A QR code will be sent to your email after your payment is confirmed. That's the entire buying process.

Yes — that is one of the main reasons travellers choose an esim in Azerbaijan over using their home provider. An eSIM from eSIM Cards connects through local Azerbaijani networks directly, so you are not paying your home carrier's roaming rates.

Almost all flagship phones since 2020 and above support eSIM — including iPhones from the XS onwards, Samsung Galaxy S and Z series, Google Pixel 3 and up, as well as a myriad of other Android phones. The main thing you’ll want to check is whether your phone is carrier-unlocked, as locked ones can, in some cases, prevent you from installing a new eSIM profile.

Installation is completed prior to your trip by scanning the QR code within your phone's settings. Activation is automatic — once your phone lands and connects to a network in Azerbaijan, the plan will turn on itself.

Yes. There is no need to have a physical SIM card, which must be inserted into your phone when using an eSIM. When you have an eSIM, there’s no physical SIM card to insert in your phone. The eSIM is built into the device and reacts as a separate entity.

It depends on the plan whether you are entitled to a refund. If you have bought a plan and are yet to install or activate it, please get in touch with support to discuss your options. After a plan is activated and the data usage starts, refunds are usually not available.

Please note that every plan has a duration — you can check that out on the product page before making your purchase. The validity period is, in most cases, calculated from the date of first activation of the SIM, not from the date of purchase.

The 3 major local operators sell physical SIM cards for Azerbaijan in their respective shops in Baku (and other major cities) as well as at Baku airport. But for that, you’ll need to show up, find a store, and sometimes even provide passport information. When you buy an eSIM online ahead of your trip, you bypass all of that and have mobile service as soon as you land.

The options and the prices of the plans fluctuate with time, so we recommend you get the most updated information by visiting the product page at the time. You can comfortably get a fixed allowance plan with a generous data cap, and they have a good selection for covering most lengths of trips.

Yes — especially when you consider the overall situation. A local SIM card in Azerbaijan needs time to be obtained upon arrival, there are potential language barriers, and sometimes they ask for ID. An eSIM Azerbaijan is purchased at a revealed price before your trip, with no hidden add-ons.
