The (almost) 5-star eSIM
The eSIM was very easy to install and, once I reached my destination, I had a connection from the very first moment without having to worry about roaming.
Activation was quick and simple, and I had a connection the whole time with no hassle. Coverage and speed were very good.
I went on a trip around Latin America and had coverage everywhere, at a very good price. Highly recommended 💪🏼

More about the Afghanistan eSIM
eSIM for Afghanistan: internet without roaming
Traveling to Afghanistan with mobile data sorted from minute one is possible with an eSIM. As soon as you land in Kabul or Herat you have active internet, without hunting for a store or wrestling with a physical SIM card. Our eSIM uses the best local networks, mainly Roshan and Afghan Wireless (AWCC), so you can use maps, messaging, and internet calls wherever there's mobile signal.
Roaming in Afghanistan: why an eSIM makes sense for you
Afghanistan is not part of the European Union, so your "roam like at home" plan from home doesn't apply here. Activating data with your regular carrier can cost you between 10 and 15 € per day, and in many cases roaming isn't even available in the country. With a PuraSIM eSIM you pay a fraction of that and know exactly how much you'll spend upfront, with no bill shock when you get back. It's the difference between spending tens of euros in a week or sorting out the whole trip for just a few.
How much does an eSIM for Afghanistan cost?
You choose the data based on how many days you'll be away. For a short work trip or layover, 1 GB every three or four days of normal use (maps, WhatsApp, email) is plenty. If you're staying a couple of weeks or rely heavily on your phone, look at plans from 3 to 5 GB. You can compare all options and other destinations at all destinations and adjust the plan to your actual usage pace.
eSIM vs. physical SIM in Afghanistan
Getting a physical SIM locally in Afghanistan means registering with your passport at a sales point, which isn't always easy or quick for a traveler. The eSIM is completely digital: you buy it before you leave, install it with a QR code, and arrive with internet already working. Plus, your usual number stays active on the same phone to receive bank SMS or important calls, without swapping anything around.
Does the eSIM work in Kabul, Herat, or Kandahar?
Yes. Coverage is solid in major cities like Kabul, Herat, Kandahar, Mazar-i-Sharif, and Jalalabad, relying on operators such as Roshan, Afghan Wireless, Etisalat, and Salaam. In rural or mountainous areas the signal is more patchy, which is normal in the country with any SIM. For getting around urban centers and main roads, mobile data will work fine.
How do you activate the Afghanistan eSIM?
Very simple. After purchase you receive a QR code by email: scan it from your phone's settings, install the profile, and set it up before your trip. When you arrive in Afghanistan, just enable data roaming on that eSIM and you're online. If it's your first time, follow our step-by-step eSIM guide, with screenshots for iPhone and Android. In two minutes you'll have internet at your destination, no cables or paperwork needed.
