## Using your phone in Uzbekistan

The main gateway is Islam Karimov Tashkent International (TAS). Scan your eSIM Uzbekistan 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 Yandex Go. An eSIM Uzbekistan covers Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara and the rest of Uzbekistan on partner networks.

Signs and menus are mostly in Uzbek, so a camera-translate app is worth having on mobile data. Prices are in Uzbekistani som, and your bank's one-time codes still arrive on your home SIM.

### Connectivity notes for Uzbekistan

- Afrosiyob high-speed train tickets sell out, so book online and keep them on your phone.

## Best eSIM for Uzbekistan: 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 Uzbekistan from today's plans:

- **About a week:** 3 GB for 15 days, $3.00.
- **Two weeks:** 5 GB for 30 days, $4.11.
- **A month or heavy use:** 10 GB for 30 days, $8.25.

## Which networks you'll use in Uzbekistan

LinkPaLS plans in Uzbekistan connect through Beeline. Your phone joins the strongest network automatically, with 4G and 5G speeds where the network supports them.

| Network | Technology |
| --- | --- |
| Beeline | 4G, 5G |

## eSIM vs local SIM vs roaming in Uzbekistan

|  | 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 eSIM Uzbekistan sits in between: set up at home, priced like local data.

## Install and switch on your eSIM Uzbekistan

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

1. **Choose your plan.** Pick the data and days you need for Uzbekistan. Check your phone first on our [compatible phones](https://linkpals.store/compatible-devices) list.
2. **Install before you fly.** Your QR code is ready in your LinkPaLS account a minute after you pay. Scan it on Wi-Fi and keep the new line switched off.
3. **Connect on arrival.** In Tashkent, switch the travel line on, choose it for mobile data and allow data roaming on it. Our [activation guide](https://linkpals.store/help) shows each screen.

## Reasons travelers pick an eSIM Uzbekistan

- **Share your data.** Turn on hotspot for a laptop or a travel partner.
- **Ready for Samarkand and Bukhara.** Maps, tickets and translation work as you move between them.
- **Keep your physical SIM safe.** It stays in the phone, so there's no tiny card to lose in a hotel room.
- **Pay in Uzbekistani som without surprises.** Card apps and banking alerts keep working, so you can watch every charge.
- **Online at the airport.** No SIM kiosk, no queue, no swapping cards when you arrive in Tashkent.

Adding Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan 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 Uzbekistan?

The best eSIM for Uzbekistan covers your whole trip with enough data. For Uzbekistan 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 Samarkand and Bukhara?

Yes. Your eSIM Uzbekistan covers Uzbekistan wherever partner networks reach, including Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara. Remote areas may drop to slower speeds or lose signal.

### Will my eSIM work when I land at Islam Karimov Tashkent 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.

### Can I buy an eSIM for Uzbekistan 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 Uzbekistan, not when you buy it.

### Will WhatsApp keep working in Uzbekistan?

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

### Is an eSIM worth it for Uzbekistan?

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 eSIM Uzbekistan use?

It connects to Beeline in Uzbekistan, with 4G and 5G where available.

### Do I pay for the eSIM in Uzbekistani som?

No. You pay LinkPaLS once, in US dollars, when you buy the plan. You'll only need Uzbekistani som for spending once you're in Uzbekistan.
