Asiacell and travel eSIM in Iraq
Asiacell is one of the networks your eSIM may use in Iraq. Here is who actually decides which network you get, and what to do with that.

Quick answer
- 33 of the 33 Iraq plans we sell name Asiacell as a reachable network, at 4G.
- Travel plans connect by roaming, so no plan can promise one specific network.
Asiacell in brief
In 2025 Asiacell said its technical preparations for a nationwide 5G launch were complete pending licensing, and that over 70 percent of its sites run "4G Plus" technology.
We are not a reseller for this operator and we have not run our own field speed tests. The band and network details below come from the sources listed at the end of the page.
Asiacell's bands and technology
| Item | Asiacell |
|---|---|
| LTE (4G) | Not verified |
| 5G NR | Not verified |
| 5G launched | Not verified |
| Network code (MCC-MNC) | 418-05 |
Checked against the sources on 2026-10-12. Only the bands a source confirmed are listed; the network may run others too.
An eSIM can only use Asiacell if your phone supports at least one band in this table. Before you fly, open your model's spec page on the maker's site and compare its LTE and 5G band lists.
Who licenses Asiacell
Mobile networks in Iraq are licensed, and their spectrum assigned, by the Communications and Media Commission (CMC). The bands above are the ones it allocates. A problem with the local network's own service goes to the operator first; a problem with your eSIM plan comes to us.
The plans on our shelf that name Asiacell
From the supplier record behind each package, 33 of the 33 plans we currently sell for Iraq declare Asiacell as a network the profile can reach, at 4G. The figure comes from the same catalogue that prices the plan pages, and it moves when the supplier revises the record.
A plan naming Asiacell means the network sits in the list the profile may choose from. It does not mean your handset will stay on it. The priority order is the supplier's, and the signal where you stand decides.
Why plans do not name a fixed network
Nearly every travel eSIM is a roaming product: the profile picks a network by an order the supplier sets, not by the buyer. If Asiacell is weak where you are, try selecting Korek Telecom or Zain Iraq manually in the network settings, and keep data roaming on for the eSIM profile.
FAQ
Will my eSIM definitely connect to Asiacell?+
33 of our plans name Asiacell as reachable, but that is not a guarantee. Travel plans run over roaming agreements, so the network depends on the supplier behind the plan, your device and where you are.
Does Asiacell run 5G, and will my plan get it?+
We could not confirm Asiacell's 5G status from an official source. Our plans that reach this network list 4G.
How do I see which network I am on?+
Check the carrier name at the top of the screen, or open the mobile-network settings and look at the operator list. If signal is poor, try selecting a network manually instead of automatic, but only one your plan actually supports.
