## Getting online in Pakistan

The main gateway is Allama Iqbal International, Lahore (LHE). Scan your Pakistan eSIM QR code at home, then switch the line on when the plane lands, and you can message your hotel or driver straight away.

Getting around usually means Careem, Uber and InDrive. A Pakistan eSIM covers Islamabad, Lahore and Hunza and the rest of Pakistan on partner networks.

You'll see Urdu and English on most signs, so a camera-translate app is worth having on mobile data. Prices are in Pakistani rupee, and your bank's one-time codes still arrive on your home SIM.

### Local tips for Pakistan

- Local SIMs need biometric registration. The Karakoram Highway has long gaps in coverage.

## Best eSIM for Pakistan: which plan to pick

Start with your days, then your habits. A light user who sticks to maps and chat needs around 0.5 GB a day; anyone posting video, taking calls or sharing a hotspot should plan on 1.5 GB or more.

Good starting points for Pakistan from today's plans:

- **About a week:** 3 GB for 15 days, $3.43.
- **Two weeks:** 5 GB for 30 days, $5.06.
- **A month or heavy use:** 10 GB for 30 days, $8.85.

| Data | Valid for | Price | Per GB |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 100 MB | 7 days | $1.37 | — |
| 500 MB a day | 1 day | $1.58 | — |

## Which networks you'll use in Pakistan

LinkPaLS plans in Pakistan connect through Jazz, Telenor and Zong. Your phone joins the strongest network automatically, with 4G speeds where the network supports them.

| Network | Technology |
| --- | --- |
| Jazz | 4G |
| Telenor | 3G |
| Zong | 4G |

## Comparing your data options in Pakistan

|  | LinkPaLS eSIM | Local SIM card | Home roaming |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Set up | At home, before you fly | On arrival, at a shop or kiosk | Already on |
| ID needed | None | Usually a passport | None |
| Your home number | Stays on | Removed while the SIM is out | Stays on |
| Cost | Fixed, paid once | Low, but only after arrival | Often the most expensive |
| Best for | Most travelers | Long stays with a local number | Very short emergency use |

Roaming is the easy option and usually the priciest. A local SIM is cheap but costs you an hour on arrival. The Pakistan eSIM sits in between: set up at home, priced like local data.

## Set up your Pakistan eSIM in minutes

### Set up your eSIM for Pakistan in three steps

1. **Choose your plan.** Match the plan to your stay in Pakistan, then confirm your phone is on the [compatible phones](https://linkpals.store/compatible-devices) list and unlocked.
2. **Install before you fly.** Do this the day before you leave: scan the QR code from your account while on Wi-Fi, then leave the new line turned off for the flight.
3. **Connect on arrival.** When you land in Pakistan, turn the LinkPaLS line on, set it as your mobile data line and switch on data roaming for that line. See [how to activate eSIM](https://linkpals.store/help).

## Reasons travelers pick a Pakistan eSIM

- **No roaming bill.** Prepaid data at a fixed price, paid once.
- **No paperwork.** No passport scan or registration form, just an email address.
- **Online at the airport.** No SIM kiosk, no queue, no swapping cards when you arrive in Islamabad.
- **Same number, new data.** Your home SIM keeps taking calls and bank codes while the eSIM handles the internet.
- **Keep your physical SIM safe.** It stays in the phone, so there's no tiny card to lose in a hotel room.

Adding India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka to the trip? Check the Regional tab: one eSIM for the whole route is often cheaper than separate plans.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which eSIM is best for Pakistan?

The best eSIM for Pakistan covers your whole trip with enough data. For Pakistan alone, pick a country plan; for several countries, a regional or global plan saves switching. Compare the current plans at the top of this page.

### Does the eSIM work in Lahore and Hunza?

Yes. Your Pakistan eSIM covers Pakistan wherever partner networks reach, including Islamabad, Lahore and Hunza. Remote areas may drop to slower speeds or lose signal.

### Will my eSIM work when I land at Allama Iqbal International?

Yes. If you install it before your flight, it connects once you land and switch off airplane mode. Turn the line on and allow data roaming for it.

### Is an eSIM worth it for Pakistan?

Yes, if your phone supports eSIM. You land with working data, skip the airport SIM counter, avoid roaming charges and keep your home number active.

### Which networks does the Pakistan eSIM use?

It connects to Jazz, Telenor and Zong in Pakistan, with 4G where available.

### Can I buy an eSIM for Pakistan before I travel?

Yes. Install it a few days ahead on home Wi-Fi and leave the line off. The validity period usually starts when the eSIM first connects in Pakistan, not when you buy it.

### Will WhatsApp keep working in Pakistan?

Yes. WhatsApp stays linked to your home number on your physical SIM and uses your LinkPaLS data to send and receive.

### What are the downsides of an eSIM?

Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked, most QR codes install only once, and LinkPaLS plans are data-only, so you call through apps like WhatsApp or FaceTime.
