eSIM or a local SIM card in Uzbekistan?

An eSIM is the easy route — it installs before your trip and works on arrival. A local SIM from a kiosk can be cheaper, but you’ll need your passport and to register your phone’s IMEI.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need an eSIM in Uzbekistan?

Not strictly — but it’s the easiest way to be online the moment you land. You avoid the queue for a local SIM at Tashkent airport and your data works straight away.

Does Yesim work in Uzbekistan?

Yes — Yesim works across Uzbekistan on arrival. It rides the local Ucell and Beeline networks and activates from a QR code you install before flying.

Which is the cheapest eSIM for Uzbekistan?

Dreamsim, at a fixed €8 for ~5 GB on short trips. Note Dreamsim is mobile-only — open this page on your phone to buy it.

How much is mobile internet in Uzbekistan?

A 5 GB travel eSIM runs roughly €8–15. A local prepaid SIM can be cheaper but needs passport and IMEI registration.

Do I have to register my phone (IMEI)?

Only with a local SIM. Travel eSIMs need no IMEI registration at all. For a local SIM bought in Uzbekistan, register at uzimei.uz within 30 days or it stops working.

Where can I buy a SIM at Tashkent airport?

At the arrivals-hall kiosks (Ucell, Beeline). Bring your passport. Or skip it entirely with an eSIM you set up before the flight.
