About Iraq eSIM
The use of eSIM in Iraq has become quite widespread, especially in major cities like Baghdad, Erbil, Basra, and Sulaymaniyah. The country's mobile network infrastructure offers strong 4G coverage in urban areas, while 5G is only available in a limited capacity in major cities like Erbil and Baghdad. The main mobile operators are Asiacell, Zain Iraq, and Korek Telecom. Asiacell provides high speed and wide coverage in cities, while Zain Iraq offers reliability, particularly in Erbil and the Kurdistan region. Korek Telecom focuses more on regional coverage. Internet speeds in cities range from an average of 25-50 Mbps, while in rural areas, this speed can drop to 10-20 Mbps. For tourists, using eSIM offers advantages such as avoiding physical SIM card queues, instant activation, and access to local networks without roaming charges. You can compare eSIM packages through Tripuck to choose the one that suits your needs.
How to Buy Iraq eSIM?
To purchase an eSIM in Iraq, you can first select a suitable package from platforms like Tripuck or from the websites of providers such as eSimy and Airalo. After the payment process, scan the QR code sent to your email address with your phone's camera and install it from Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM. For iPhone users, this process is quite fast and seamless. Similar steps are followed on Android devices. Activation usually takes 1-5 minutes and can be done via WiFi or an existing data connection. We recommend loading your eSIM before arriving in Iraq to avoid connectivity issues during your trip. Also, don't forget to check your data roaming settings.

Check if your device supports eSIM; iPhone XS and above, Samsung Galaxy S20 and above models are compatible. There is no need to have a physical SIM card as a backup internet plan; eSIM provides wide coverage across the country. Ensure your eSIM is activated and working before your trip.
