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 Iraq eSIM
eSIM for Iraq: internet without roaming
With our eSIM for Iraq, you get mobile internet as soon as you land, without hunting for stores or swapping your physical SIM. The plan runs on the local networks of Zain Iraq, Asiacell, and Korek Telecom, the three carriers providing 4G coverage in the country, so you get stable data in both Baghdad and the Iraqi Kurdistan region. You buy, scan a QR, and arrive connected — ready to use maps, messaging, and a translator from the very first minute.
Roaming in Iraq: why an eSIM makes sense for you
Iraq is not part of the European Union, so there's no "roam like at home" here. Activating data in Iraq with your carrier can easily cost you between 10 and 15 € per day, or even per-megabyte rates that run up your bill without you noticing. A data eSIM breaks that model: you pay a fixed price upfront and control your spending. It's the difference between coming home to an unpleasant surprise on your bill and knowing exactly what it costs to stay connected in Iraq.
How much does an eSIM for Iraq cost?
Prices go up depending on the GB and days you need. For a short business trip or a layover, 1 or 3 GB is plenty if you mainly use messaging and maps. For a one- or two-week stay using your phone daily, budget around 1 GB every two or three days; if you make video calls or share lots of photos, go up to 5 GB or more. You can compare all options on all destinations and pick the plan that fits your itinerary.
eSIM vs. physical SIM in Iraq
A local prepaid physical SIM is available at airports or Zain and Asiacell stores, but it usually requires a passport, in-person registration, and sometimes waiting. The eSIM is 100% digital: you activate it before leaving home, keep your usual number for WhatsApp and calls, and don't have to fiddle with any tray or carry a tiny card. Fewer hassles, zero risk of losing your SIM, and connection ready when you land.
Does the eSIM work in Baghdad, Basra, or Erbil?
Yes. 4G coverage is solid in the main cities: Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, Mosul, Najaf, Karbala, and Sulaymaniyah. In urban centers and their surroundings, the Asiacell and Zain networks give you fast data for work or getting around; in remote rural or desert areas, as in any country, the signal may drop to 3G or become intermittent. For cities and main roads, the eSIM works without issues.
How do you activate the eSIM for Iraq?
After purchase, you receive a QR code by email. You scan it from your phone's settings, install the plan, and when you arrive in Iraq, turn on data roaming for that eSIM. The whole process takes a couple of minutes, and you can set it up from home using your Wi-Fi. If it's your first time, we have a step-by-step guide with screenshots in our eSIM guide, where we also explain how to check if your phone is compatible.
