Iran eSIM

No — we do not list a plan for Iran, because traveller roaming there is not normally available. This page exists as travel context, not as a product page. If you would like us to tell you should that change, message us on LINE at https://lin.ee/skDPoNx (@esimonline) or email esimonline.asia@gmail.com and we will keep the request on file.

Most buy a prepaid SIM from a domestic operator, registered against a passport at an airport counter or a shop in town, then add data bundles as they go. The other option is hotel Wi-Fi, whose speed varies enormously from place to place. It is worth knowing that many international services are unreachable from domestic networks and that access can be restricted further at times, so download maps, documents and tickets to the device before you travel.

They do not work: foreign credit and debit cards are not connected to the Iranian banking system. People who travel there bring cash to exchange, or use a prepaid tourist card arranged through a local operator. The knock-on effect is that booking apps and ride-hailing tied to a foreign card fail too, so budget and book accommodation before you go rather than assuming you can pay on the spot as you would elsewhere.

Most plans here start when the phone first connects to a network at the destination, so you can install in advance at home and switch it on after landing. Each plan page states its own rule.

No. The eSIM is a second line, so you keep your home number for SMS OTP. Turn off roaming data on the home line and set the eSIM as the data line.
