Traveller notes

Airport pickup
Tashkent activates at the gate on Beeline or Ucell. Samarkand and Bukhara airports are smaller but both networks cover them.
Hotspot and calls
Allowed on most plans. Hotel Wi-Fi in Samarkand and Bukhara is often slow, so expect to use more data here than the trip length suggests.
Where the network is weak
The Afrosiyob fast train between Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara loses signal for long stretches. The desert road to Khiva and the Nuratau mountains have little or nothing.
Local SIM alternative
A local SIM needs passport registration at an official store, and a phone on a local SIM must be registered with the authorities for stays over 30 days. The eSIM sidesteps both; only a long stay needs an Uzbek number.

Paying from India or Pakistan

Providers take Visa and Mastercard. Indian debit cards need international use enabled and carry a 2 to 3.5% forex markup; UPI and RuPay-only cards are not accepted. Pakistani cards need international transactions enabled at the bank, sit under the annual dollar limit, and carry a 3 to 4% markup; JazzCash and Easypaisa are not accepted. Apple Pay and Google Pay work where your card does.

Questions travellers ask about eSIM for Uzbekistan

Which eSIM is best for Uzbekistan from India or Pakistan?

Right now it is Nomad with the Unlimited · 10 days plan at ₹3,122. It has a Pakka Score of 7.9 out of 10 for Uzbekistan, based on 13 traveller reviews of Nomad there, and it is sized for a 8-day trip.

How much does an eSIM for Uzbekistan cost?

Right-sized plans for about a week start at ₹3,122 from Nomad. Our pick costs ₹3,122. Prices are converted from USD daily, so expect small movements.

Which network does Nomad use in Uzbekistan?

Nomad rides on Beeline, Ucell in Uzbekistan. The destination score reflects how that network performed for previous travellers, which is why the same provider can score differently in a neighbouring country.

Is an eSIM better than a local SIM in Uzbekistan?

A local SIM needs passport registration at an official store, and a phone on a local SIM must be registered with the authorities for stays over 30 days. The eSIM sidesteps both; only a long stay needs an Uzbek number.

Where is mobile coverage weak in Uzbekistan?

The Afrosiyob fast train between Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara loses signal for long stretches. The desert road to Khiva and the Nuratau mountains have little or nothing.

Can I use hotspot on an eSIM in Uzbekistan?

Allowed on most plans. Hotel Wi-Fi in Samarkand and Bukhara is often slow, so expect to use more data here than the trip length suggests.

Will my Indian or Pakistani card work to buy an eSIM?

Visa and Mastercard cards with international use enabled work with every provider we list. UPI, RuPay-only cards, JazzCash and Easypaisa do not. Expect a forex markup of roughly 2 to 4% from your bank.

How much data do I need for 8 days in Uzbekistan?

For normal use, maps, WhatsApp, social media and a few video calls, budget about 0.7 GB per day, so around 5.6 GB for 8 days. Heavy users who stream or hotspot should double that.

When should I install the eSIM?

Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly and keep it switched off until you land. Tashkent activates at the gate on Beeline or Ucell. Samarkand and Bukhara airports are smaller but both networks cover them.
