Whether you are visiting family, travelling for work or heading to Kabul, Herat or Mazar-i-Sharif, you will want messages, maps and calls over apps from the first hour. A travel eSIM gives you data on arrival without a shop visit. Install it at home on Wi-Fi, keep your own SIM for calls and bank codes, and switch the travel line on when you land.
Why an eSIM for Afghanistan?
A local SIM means finding a shop and completing registration, and it usually means swapping out the SIM that receives your banking codes. An eSIM is installed before you fly, and your own number stays active on your normal SIM.
Which network carries the signal?
Our Afghanistan plans use Roshan. Coverage is strongest in the big cities and can be weaker between towns and in remote areas, so save offline maps of your route before you set off.
How much data does a trip to Afghanistan use?
A week of messaging, maps and a few photos fits in 3GB. If you make video calls to family or share photos and videos every day, plan on 5GB or more. For a month-long stay, 10GB gives you room.
Choosing a plan size
1GB for 7 days costs $5.00 and suits a very short stay. 3GB for 15 days costs $10.00, and 3GB for 30 days costs $10.50, only $0.50 more, so it is the better buy if your dates might move. 5GB for 30 days is $16.50, 10GB for 30 days is $24.00 and 20GB for 30 days is $39.00.
No unlimited plans
We do not sell unlimited plans for Afghanistan. Every plan has a fixed amount of data, and 20GB for 30 days at $39.00 is the largest we list.

Quick answers
Which Afghanistan eSIM should I buy for a week?
3GB for 15 days at $10.00 covers a week with room to spare. For messages and maps only, 1GB for 7 days at $5.00 may be enough.
Does the Afghanistan eSIM include calls?
No. Our plans are data only. Keep your home number on your own SIM for calls, and use messaging apps for calls over data.
Which network does it use?
Roshan. Coverage can vary outside the main cities, so download offline maps before you travel.
When does the plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Afghanistan, not when you buy or install it.
