Coverage & network in Kazakhstan
The plans for Kazakhstan are regional: one eSIM that covers Kazakhstan alongside its neighbours, which is exactly what most trips through this part of the world look like. Every plan shown here works in Kazakhstan — the coverage counter on each one tells you where else it reaches.
Most travellers over-buy data. Navigation and messaging for a week is under 2 GB — streaming and video calls are what move the number, at roughly 1 GB an hour.
Expect 4G/LTE rather than 5G in Kazakhstan. That is plenty for maps, messaging, ride-hailing and streaming, and it is the technology with the widest footprint outside the main towns. Tethering is allowed on every Kazakhstan plan, so a laptop or a travelling companion can share the connection.
Because these are regional plans, crossing into a neighbouring country usually needs no new eSIM at all — check the coverage list on the plan you pick. The full Asia plan page shows everything the region offers, and South Korea, Sri Lanka and Taiwan have their own pages too.
How to install it
- 1
Buy in a minute
Pick a Kazakhstan plan and pay. Your QR code arrives by email within minutes — no account, no shipping.
- 2
Install on Wi-Fi
Scan the code before you fly. The profile sits alongside your normal SIM and stays switched off until you need it.
- 3
Land connected
Turn on data roaming for the TravelNet line when you arrive. The plan starts counting down on that first connection, not at checkout.
Will my phone work?
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone: an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or
newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship. Dial *#06# — if
an EID number is listed alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM.

Kazakhstan eSIM questions
Which network does the Kazakhstan eSIM use?
We don't publish a single operator name for Kazakhstan, because the profile can attach to more than one partner network and picks whichever is strongest where you are. In practice that means you get the best available signal rather than being locked to one operator's weak spots.
Will I get 5G in Kazakhstan?
No. Kazakhstan plans run on 4G/LTE, which is what the networks cover reliably. For maps, messaging, calls over data and streaming the difference is not something you'll notice.
How much data do I actually need for Kazakhstan?
Most travellers over-buy. Maps and messaging for a week is under 2 GB; streaming and video calls are what move the number. Start small and top up if you run short.
When does my Kazakhstan plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Kazakhstan, not when you buy it. Install it at home a day or two before you fly — the validity period on the plan you choose runs from arrival, not from checkout.
Why do Kazakhstan plans list other countries too?
Because they are regional eSIMs: one profile whose allowance works across every country on its coverage list, Kazakhstan included. For a single-country trip nothing changes — install, land, connect. For a multi-country trip it means the same plan keeps working after the border.
Can I use my Kazakhstan eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Tethering is enabled on every Kazakhstan plan, so you can share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or someone travelling with you. Hotspot data comes out of the same allowance.
Can I keep my own phone number while I'm in Kazakhstan?
Yes — that's the main reason to use an eSIM rather than a local SIM. Your home line stays active for calls, SMS and two-factor codes; the Kazakhstan eSIM sits alongside it as a data-only line. Leave data roaming off for your home line to avoid a surprise bill.
Do I need to register or show a passport to use a Kazakhstan eSIM?
No. The plan roams on partner networks, so there's no local SIM registration, no ID upload and no shop visit. You buy it, scan the QR code, and it works on arrival.
What happens if I run out of data in Kazakhstan?
You can buy another Kazakhstan plan from the same page and install it the same way. Plans marked as top-up capable can also be extended without a new QR code.
I'm also visiting South Korea and Sri Lanka — do I need separate eSIMs?
Check the coverage list on the plan you pick first — many Kazakhstan plans are regional and already include the neighbours, in which case one eSIM covers the whole trip. Otherwise the Asia plan does.
Will my phone work with a Kazakhstan eSIM?
If it's an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship, almost certainly — and it must be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# and look for an EID number: if one is listed, the phone has an eSIM. Our compatibility list has the full set.
