Good to know
Buying a local SIM in Iraq means registering your passport in person, and prepaid cards bought in the Kurdistan Region don't always run smoothly down south. An eSIM skips the paperwork and simply connects the moment you land.
Unlimited, honestly.

Unlimited plans run at full speed up to a daily fair-use allowance, then at reduced speed until the allowance resets the next day — you're never cut off. Every plan is prepaid: the checkout total is the whole bill, and we never add overage charges.

Hotspot support varies by plan and destination — where it's available for your plan in Iraq, it's shown in the plan details before you pay.

The Iraq eSIM guide.

Iraq is opening up fast — pilgrims fill Karbala and Najaf, while travellers are discovering Erbil's citadel, Baghdad's riverside cafés and the Mesopotamian marshes. Mobile coverage is solid across the cities, but a foreign SIM means passport registration, so an eSIM keeps you online for maps, translation, ride apps and calls home from the moment you arrive.

How it works on the day

Install your eSIM over Wi-Fi before flying and it activates as you land at Baghdad (BGW), Erbil (EBL) or Basra (BSR). It connects automatically to Zain, Asiacell or Korek 4G — no shop queues, no passport forms, no swapping out your everyday SIM.

Choosing your days

Most trips run five to ten days — a Karbala and Najaf pilgrimage, a Kurdistan loop through Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, or a Baghdad city break. Choose a bundle that matches your dates, and the daily cost falls the longer the plan you pick.

The short version.

A travel eSIM is data only. It sits next to your home SIM, so your number, texts and WhatsApp carry on as normal. Pick unlimited, priced per day, or a fixed bundle of GB if it's mostly maps and messages. Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly — the days only start once it first connects in Iraq, and it finds a partner network on its own.
