Uzbekistan eSIM
Also covers Uzbekistan
Networks in Uzbekistan
Well covered along the Silk Road cities, thin in the desert between them
No roaming agreement covers Uzbekistan, so a European plan is full rate here.
Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva are all well covered, and the high-speed Afrosiyob trains that connect them hold a signal for most of the route — which is the way most visitors travel.
The Kyzylkum desert between Bukhara and Khiva is the long gap: the road crosses several hundred kilometres with service only at the settlements. The Aral Sea region around Moynaq is thinner again, and the Nuratau and Fergana valley edges have coverage that follows the villages.
Uzbekistan eSIM: questions
When does the plan start counting?
From the first connection to a network in Uzbekistan, not from the moment you buy it. Install at home, activate after you land.
Do I get a phone number in Uzbekistan?
No. Plans here are data only: use messaging and calling apps over data.
Can I use it as a hotspot?
Yes. Hotspot is included, so a laptop or a second phone can share the data.
What if I run out of data?
Top up the same eSIM with another data plan, any time.
