IRAQ eSIM

Yes — eSIM is available in Iraq. The major Iraqi carriers Zain Iraq, Asiacell and Korek Telecom are also supporting international eSIMs, and coverage is decent across cities and main towns.

That said, most of the travellers you talked to recommended buying a standard SIM rather than an eSIM if you are a tourist or a temporary visitor. Local SIMs can require documentation and a trip to a store once you get there, and that’s an extra step that most travellers would rather skip.

No – eSIM Cards Iraq eSIM is a data plan and not a voice plan. It doesn’t include an Iraqi phone number. However, your regular SIM is still getting active with eSIM, so your old number you can use for calls and texts as well throughout your trip.

After purchase, scan the QR code in your email in your phone settings to download and install the profile. When you land in Iraq, and your phone makes a connection to a local network, the plan will trigger automatically. From there, the data is alive and ready.

Yes, and that is exactly the point of it. The entire process — choosing a plan, paying, receiving the QR code, and installing the profile — happens before you travel. By the time you land in Iraq, your data connection is already installed and waiting.

Activation is automatic—there is no separate process. When you download the eSIM profile (QR code scanning), the plan activates automatically as soon as your phone gets an Iraqi network.

Yes. The Iraq Travel eSIM is tailor-made for travellers, tourists, business travellers, journalists, aid workers, or anyone else coming from abroad.

The rates start from very low for 1 GB for 7 days. The price changes according to the amount of data you need and the duration of your stay in the country.

First, double-check that the QR code is being scanned in good lighting and that the camera can read it clearly. If the code simply will not scan, you can also enter the activation details manually — the email confirmation includes the information you need. If neither of those works, contact eSIM Cards support as soon as possible.

Yes, hotspot is included on all plans. You can turn your phone into a mobile hotspot and share the Iraq eSIM data connection with a laptop, tablet, or another phone — it works the same as sharing any standard mobile data connection.
