Do I need a local SIM or PTA registration?

No. A travel eSIM avoids local SIM registration for visits — install before you fly and you're online on arrival, with your UK or home number untouched for WhatsApp.

Does one eSIM cover several Asian countries?

A Pakistan eSIM covers Pakistan only. For multi-stop Asian itineraries, the Asia regional eSIM covers 32 countries on a single plan and hops networks automatically as you travel.

Will my eSIM work as soon as I land in Pakistan?

Yes — install it at home on Wi-Fi before you fly, then switch the line on when you land. It joins a partner network in Pakistan automatically, usually before you reach baggage claim. Your days only start counting at that first connection.

Do I keep my own number and WhatsApp in Pakistan?

Yes. This is a data-only eSIM that runs alongside your home SIM. Your number stays active for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number the whole trip.

When do my days start counting?

Only when the eSIM first connects to a network in Pakistan — not when you buy or install it. Buying ahead of your trip is completely safe.

Which phones work with a Pakistan eSIM?

Most phones from 2018 onward: iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, plus many recent Xiaomi, Oppo and Motorola models. Your phone must also be carrier-unlocked — check yours in 30 seconds on our compatibility page.

Good to know

A travel eSIM avoids local SIM registration for visits — and your UK number stays live on WhatsApp for everyone back home.

The Pakistan eSIM guide.

Trips to Pakistan are rarely short — family visits, weddings, a few cities in one stay. A travel eSIM means data from the moment you land at Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad, without local SIM registration queues, and without your home WhatsApp number changing.

How it works on the day

Install at home before the flight, switch on when you land. Coverage follows the major networks in the cities and along the motorways; remote northern areas vary as they do on any network.

Choosing your days

Two weeks or more is typical — the 15-day and 30-day rates are built exactly for long family stays.

Keep data roaming ON for the eSIM line only — that's the switch travel eSIMs use, and it never adds charges on our plans.

Before you fly

Pakistan eSIM questions, answered.
