Coverage & network in Northern Cyprus
The plans for Northern Cyprus are regional: one eSIM that covers Northern Cyprus alongside its neighbours, which is exactly what most trips through this part of the world look like. Every plan shown here works in Northern Cyprus — the coverage counter on each one tells you where else it reaches.
As a rule of thumb: maps and messaging burn 100–200 MB a day, social media roughly 500 MB an hour, and a video call about 1 GB an hour. A light week fits in a small plan; remote work needs a big one.
Where 5G has been rolled out in Northern Cyprus you’ll get it on 5G-marked plans; everywhere else the eSIM runs on 4G/LTE. Both are far more than maps and messaging need. Tethering is allowed on every Northern Cyprus 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 Europe plan page shows everything the region offers, and Vatican City, Albania and Andorra have their own pages too.
How to install it
- 1
Buy in a minute
Pick a Northern Cyprus 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.

Northern Cyprus eSIM questions
Which network does the Northern Cyprus eSIM use?
We don't publish a single operator name for Northern Cyprus, 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 Northern Cyprus?
On plans marked 5G, yes — where the network has deployed it and your phone supports it. Outside those areas the eSIM falls back to 4G/LTE automatically; you won't need to change any setting.
How much data do I actually need for Northern Cyprus?
As a rough guide: navigation and messaging burn around 100–200 MB a day, social media roughly 500 MB an hour, and video calls about 1 GB an hour. A short trip fits a small plan; a fortnight of heavier use wants a mid-size one; streaming and remote work push you to the top of the ladder.
When does my Northern Cyprus plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Northern Cyprus, 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 Northern Cyprus plans list other countries too?
Because they are regional eSIMs: one profile whose allowance works across every country on its coverage list, Northern Cyprus 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 Northern Cyprus eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Tethering is enabled on every Northern Cyprus 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 Northern Cyprus?
Yes. Nothing is removed from your phone. The Northern Cyprus profile is added as a second line and set as the one used for data, while your usual number keeps receiving calls, texts and bank verification codes. Switch data roaming off on the home line before you fly.
Do I need to register or show a passport to use a Northern Cyprus 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 Northern Cyprus?
You can buy another Northern Cyprus 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 Vatican City and Albania — do I need separate eSIMs?
Check the coverage list on the plan you pick first — many Northern Cyprus plans are regional and already include the neighbours, in which case one eSIM covers the whole trip. Otherwise the Europe plan does.
Will my phone work with a Northern Cyprus 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.
