Frequently asked questions

Does eSIM work in Kazakhstan?

Yes — Simply eSIMs run on Kazakhstan’s local networks with speeds up to 5G where available. Install before you fly and activate on landing in Almaty or Astana in seconds.

Does it work at Kolsai, Charyn, and on mountain trips?

Coverage is excellent in Almaty and Astana and good on the main roads, cutting out around the remote mountain lakes and Charyn Canyon — as it does for every network there. Distances are long outside the cities, so download full routes before setting out.

Does my primary number keep working during the trip?

Yes — your primary SIM stays in place and receives calls and bank verification texts as usual, while your data flows through the travel eSIM.

How much data do I need for a Kazakhstan trip?

For typical use — Yandex Go, maps, translation — around 1-2 GB per day is enough, more if you share a lot of scenery video. You can top up from the app anytime.
