Best eSIM Providers for Pakistan

eSIM plans in Pakistan at a glance

How well each provider's eSIM works in Pakistan

Compare all eSIM plans in Pakistan

How we got these numbers: we read 17 public customer reviews that mention Pakistan or a place in it, published between December 2025 and August 2026, and counted a report as "worked" when the reviewer said the eSIM connected, even with small hiccups. We treat 20 or more reports as strong evidence, 3 to 19 as limited, and fewer than 3 as too few to judge. A count like 2 of 3 means the eSIM worked for 2 of the 3 travelers who reported from here; each provider section says what went wrong for the rest. The Vefru test score is a separate number: our own hands-on test of the provider, run outside Pakistan, so it says how the provider behaves, not how the network performs here. Local operator prices in the text were checked on 26 September 2026; provider ratings, the plan tables and the price-per-GB chart are live and update on their own.

We rank providers by traveler reports from Pakistan first, price second and our own tests third, and a provider needs 3 or more reports from the country to be picked on its own record. Only GoMoWorld and Maya Mobile have that many, with 2 of 3 and 2 of 4, which is too thin to decide on. So our picks rest on traveler reports from nearby countries: Roamless is the top pick and Maya Mobile the second. eSIM4Travel joins them as the price and support pick, with no reports to count for or against it.

Picks based on nearby countries

Only 8 of 17 travelers got a travel eSIM working in Pakistan, so any pick here is a best guess. GoMoWorld has the best record of the providers with 3 or more reports, but that is 2 of 3, and Saily worked for 0 of 2. To add more evidence, we looked at traveler reports from India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Sri Lanka, which sit in the same part of the world and share networks with Pakistan. The counts in the sections below are pooled results for each provider across those countries, not results from Pakistan itself.

Roamless is a US provider built around one global eSIM for 203 destinations, paid with pay-as-you-go credit. It was fast and unthrottled in our test, and travelers report it working in 91% of cases. Its weak point is buying: the website forces you into the app, and large data amounts cost more than most rivals.

Roamless eSIM in our hands

Go to Roamless website View full review

Roamless is our top pick for Pakistan, based on nearby countries: it worked for 16 of 16 travelers there, 5 of 5 in India, 10 of 10 in the UAE and 1 of 1 in Sri Lanka. Its one report from Pakistan was positive too: it worked well for 1 of 1 travelers who reported from Pakistan (100%, too few to judge). We could not read the review text, so it says nothing about place or speed. Roamless's page says it runs on Jazz, on 4G [14], the network that carries most of the eSIMs in this article; an older Roamless post named Telenor, and our research also found Ufone listed on 3G and LTE, with Jazz named as the network in use now. In short, it is pay as you go and may need a quick APN fix, and it suits light use across several countries.

Our comparison tool lists Pakistan plans valid for 30 days in many sizes from 0.5 GB to 200 GB, pay-as-you-go credit that does not expire, and a free trial eSIM, with no unlimited plan. The hotspot is unlimited and in-app calls run over data. In our test, run in Czechia, the preselected APN failed and the fix was to pick "Proximus Internet" with Wi-Fi off, and the eSIM comes only through the app. Its price sits near the middle of the field here. Our Roamless review has the test details; Roamless sells directly.

Maya Mobile eSIM in our hands

Go to Maya Mobile website View full review

Maya Mobile is our second pick for Pakistan, based on nearby countries: it worked for 100 of 111 travelers there, 46 of 50 in India, 18 of 19 in the UAE, 23 of 28 in Saudi Arabia and 13 of 14 in Sri Lanka. In short, it sells one unlimited plan and is best for a week or longer, and it fits travelers who cross several countries on one trip; for a short Pakistan-only trip it is a weaker fit. In Pakistan itself it worked for 2 of 4 travelers who reported (50%), which is limited evidence. We could not read the review texts behind these reports, so what the two successes had in common is unknown.

The two misses were placed in Islamabad and Northern Pakistan: the capital, and the mountains where a visitor most needs data. Maya's Pakistan page does not name its network (checked September 2026) [17], though its coverage list names Jazz on LTE [19], so we cannot be sure which network the two travelers were on. We also cannot say whether they were dead zones or slow data.

Maya sells no Pakistan-only plan. Its global unlimited plans run for 3, 7, 14 or 30 days across more than 165 countries, with a hotspot, top-ups and cruise versions [17]. Maya says it applies no caps, while our test saw speeds drop after a large daily amount of data, and our comparison tool lists 5 GB a day at full speed. That was still the fairest unlimited rule we tested. We had to set the APN and data roaming ourselves. Help is a WhatsApp bot that hands over to a person, in about nine minutes in our test. It is the cheapest global unlimited plan we compared, and poor value for a short trip where cheap country plans exist. Our Maya Mobile review has the test details; Maya Mobile sells directly.

eSIM4Travel eSIM in our hands

Go to eSIM4Travel website View full review

eSIM4Travel is our price and support pick, not a pick on traveler reports: no traveler has reported from Pakistan yet, so we cannot say how it performs there. Across all countries it is often the cheapest provider we compare: it ranks 1st of 12 in our price analysis and had the cheapest offer in 49% of our price comparisons. It suits travelers who want the lowest price for 1 to 20 GB and a human help desk, and can live without an app. In our comparison tool its Pakistan plans were the cheapest at every size we compared, by a wide margin.

Our hands-on test, run in Switzerland, shows the downsides. There is no app, no Google Pay, the card is typed by hand, and once the data runs out you cannot buy more without Wi-Fi. The eSIM works on one device and arrives as a QR code from the website. The plan starts on first connection. Support was the best we tested: the help desk scored 10 out of 10, with 24/7 web chat and one click from the bot to a person who solved the problem.

In our comparison tool eSIM4Travel sells Pakistan plans from 1 GB to 50 GB, valid 1 to 30 days, and unlimited plans of 3 to 30 days that slow after a daily allowance. It also sells a Central Asia plan that covers Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan, and global plans. Tethering is allowed. The tool lists the network as Jazz in the plan names; we could not confirm it from the provider's own page, but our research also points to Jazz. Our eSIM4Travel review has the test details.

Other eSIM Providers for Pakistan

These eleven providers are not among our picks. GoMoWorld has 3 reports from Pakistan, but 2 of 3 is too thin to decide on; the others have fewer than 3 reports from Pakistan, or none, or a finding from our tests that counts against them. We tested every one of them.

GoMoWorld is the travel eSIM brand of Irish operator eir, with plans in 202 countries. Every destination has the same four euro prices, and we saw no throttling at all. The catch is that everything happens in the app, and human support works only in office hours.

GoMoWorld eSIM in our hands

Go to GoMoWorld website View full review

GoMoWorld has the best record of the providers with enough reports, and it suits travelers who need larger data allowances and are happy to use an app. It worked for 2 of 3 travelers who reported from Pakistan (67%), which is limited evidence. The two successes were a June 2026 trip, where the traveler said the connection worries of earlier trips were gone, and a November 2025 trip that also used the eSIM in Turkey. That traveler wrote that it was "working better than local SIM cards" (6 Apr 2026).

The one miss, from a July 2026 trip, is the kind that matters here. The phone stayed on E (a very slow 2G connection), never reached 4G or 5G, and nothing loaded, so the traveler asked for a refund. None of the three reviews names a city, so we cannot say whether the miss was a network gap or a settings problem.

Our hands-on test, run in Austria and not in Pakistan, found no sign of throttling, a useful AI help bot and a tidy app. The drawbacks are built in: the eSIM comes only through the app, one account works for one device, the plan never starts unless you press Start, and human help is limited to office hours. In our comparison tool GoMoWorld sells Pakistan country plans only, in four sizes from just under 2 GB up to 27 GB, valid for 7 or 30 days, with tethering and no unlimited plan or calls. The tool lists the network as 4G, and we could not confirm which operator it uses. Its price sits above the middle of the field here for most sizes. Our GoMoWorld review has the test details.

Go to ByteSIM website View full review

ByteSIM is a low-priced option for short trips, with one report from Pakistan that worked: it worked well for 1 of 1 travelers who reported from Pakistan (100%, too few to judge). No review text was available, so we cannot say where. ByteSIM's own blog says its Pakistan plans run on Jazz; a blog is not a plan page, so we treat that as reported, not confirmed.

Our comparison tool lists the widest range for Pakistan: day plans of 500 MB to 3 GB a day, fixed plans from 0.5 GB to 90 GB, and unlimited plans, all valid 1 to 30 days. Fixed plans slow down after the quota and unlimited plans fall under fair use, according to ByteSIM's blog. There are no top-ups. In our test checkout was clumsy (phone number and full postal address required), the app was a wrapped website, and WhatsApp support did not answer within 15 minutes, though customers report fast replies. Price is usually below the middle for 2 to 10 GB here. Our ByteSIM review has the test details; ByteSIM sells directly.

Ubigi eSIM in our hands

Go to Ubigi website View full review

Ubigi suits tech-savvy travelers who want two Pakistani networks, but the record is mixed: it worked for 1 of 2 travelers who reported from Pakistan (50%, too few to judge). The miss we can read describes slow, weak data for almost the whole trip, not an activation problem. The reviewer wrote that "internet speed and connectivity was bad almost the full trip duration" (29 Jul 2026).

Ubigi's page lists Jazz and Zong as its Pakistan networks and shows no 5G [12]. Our comparison tool lists Pakistan plans of 1, 3, 10, 25 and 50 GB (no 5 GB or 20 GB), valid 7 to 30 days, and unlimited plans. Ubigi says unlimited runs at full speed for 20 GB and then slows, data sharing is allowed, and an eSIM not activated within six months expires [12]. It is one of two providers that let you buy more data at a zero balance. Support was the weakest outcome in our test: no reply to an email ticket in 24 hours. Price is below the middle at 3 and 10 GB and above it at 5 GB. Our Ubigi review has the test details; Ubigi sells directly.

Yesim suits experienced users who want flexible unlimited plans by the day, but its help desk was among the slowest we tested. It worked for 1 of 2 travelers who reported from Pakistan (50%, too few to judge). No review text was available, so we cannot say what failed.

Our comparison tool lists Pakistan plans in fixed sizes from 0.5 GB to 30 GB and unlimited day passes of 1 to 30 days, plus Asia and global bundles. Unlimited plans are throttled under fair use and Yesim does not publish the limit. Its page lists Jazz, Telenor and Zong without saying which one a plan uses, still names Telenor, and says there is no ID check and a 180-day activation window [16]. In our test the plan started at purchase, not at first connection, so buy close to departure; replies took 15 to 60 minutes. Price sits near the middle here, and the page shows prices as discounts from a list price, which should be re-checked. Our Yesim review has the test details; Yesim sells directly.

Saily's page does not name its Pakistani network (checked September 2026) [15].

The page also says there are no hotspot limits and a 180-day activation window [15].

Airalo is among the easiest eSIMs to buy and install, but its record is the weakest across the countries we analyse, and the one report from Pakistan was a miss: it worked for 0 of 1 travelers who reported from Pakistan (0%, too few to judge). No review text was available.

Global YO eSIM in our hands

Go to Global YO website View full review

Global YO is usually among the cheapest providers, and in our comparison tool its 5 GB and 10 GB plans for Pakistan sit below the market middle. No traveler has reported from Pakistan yet, so its place here rests on price and our test alone. It suits price-driven travelers who install at home and will not need help; support was slow in our test.

Our comparison tool lists Pakistan plans from 1 GB to 100 GB, valid 3 to 60 days, plus day plans of 3 GB a day for 3 to 30 days, regional and global plans, top-ups and tethering, and no unlimited plan. We could not confirm its Pakistani network. The eSIM can be bought only in the app and is then emailed, and the app stops working at zero data. The first reply took 10 minutes in our test and the follow-up more than 30. Our Global YO review has the test details; Global YO sells directly.

Holafly eSIM in our hands

Go to Holafly website View full review

Holafly sells only unlimited plans and runs on CMPak (Zong) in Pakistan according to its own page [10], but in our test its speed was capped from the first megabyte, and no traveler has reported from Pakistan yet. Across all the countries we analyse it has the best traveler-report record of the 14 providers; that record counts whether the eSIM connected, not how fast it was. In practice the cap leaves enough for maps, messaging, browsing and streaming, and is slow for large downloads, uploads, cloud backups and laptop work.

Holafly plans run from 1 to 90 days. The hotspot is limited to 1 GB a day, and there are no top-ups: when a plan ends you buy a new eSIM [10]. Its fair-use slowdown lasts at most one day before it resets, and Holafly says coverage is weaker in mountains and deserts [10], which matters in the north. Our comparison tool did not list a Holafly plan for Pakistan at export, so there is no plan table here, although Holafly's own Pakistan page lists unlimited plans. Among unlimited providers its price grid is the dearest. Our Holafly review has the test details; Holafly sells directly.

Jetpac is a Singapore eSIM provider with plans in 129 countries. It adds extras like in-app calls, free WhatsApp and Google Maps after your data runs out, and lounge access on delayed flights. Its website, app and support are rough, so it suits travelers who can fix small issues themselves.

Jetpac eSIM in our hands

Go to Jetpac website View full review

Jetpac suits frequent flyers who want in-app voice packs and a free lounge when a flight is delayed, but it is among the dearest providers here and several of its Pakistan plans are 4G only. No traveler has reported from Pakistan yet.

Our comparison tool lists Pakistan plans from 5 GB to 50 GB, valid 30, 180 or 365 days, plus a global eSIM with smaller packs, and no unlimited plan. Jetpac says fixed packs have no fair-use limit, the hotspot is unrestricted, and WhatsApp, Maps, Uber and Grab keep working after the data ends [18]. We could not confirm which Pakistani network it uses. The app and the help desk were rough in our test. Our Jetpac review has the test details; Jetpac sells directly.

GigSky eSIM in our hands

Go to GigSky website View full review

GigSky suits cruises, 1-day passes and rare islands, not Pakistan: in our price analysis it charges several times what other providers charge here, one of around 50 countries where it is far above the market. No traveler has reported from Pakistan yet.

Our comparison tool lists Pakistan plans of 1, 3 and 5 GB and a 1-day unlimited pass, plus Asia Pacific and cruise plans. We could not confirm its Pakistani network. Two things count in its favor: its app is the one that stays partly online after the data runs out, so you can buy a new plan without Wi-Fi, and a person answered at once in our test. The eSIM can be bought only in the app. Our GigSky review has the test details; GigSky sells directly.

Best eSIM Plans for Pakistan

Plans for Pakistan run from half a GB to 200 GB in our comparison tool, and the fair-use rules on unlimited plans differ more than the plan names suggest.

Price per GB in Pakistan by eSIM Provider

How much does each provider charge per GB in Pakistan? The chart below compares plans of 1 to 10 GB that last 6 to 14 days, the usual range for a one- or two-week trip. Provider websites show only their own plans, so this side-by-side view is one you would otherwise have to calculate yourself. A shorter bar means a lower price per GB.

Airalo, ByteSIM, eSIM4Travel, Ubigi and Yesim sell Pakistan unlimited plans in our comparison tool, GigSky sells a 1-day unlimited pass, and Maya Mobile sells a global one. Roamless, GoMoWorld, Global YO, Nomad, Saily and Jetpac sell none for Pakistan in the tool. The rules differ: Airalo slows after 3 GB a day, Ubigi says after 20 GB, and ByteSIM and Yesim do not publish a limit. For sizing, our guide to how much data you need helps. If your trip also takes in India, compare Pakistan and India plans in one search and see our India guide.

Best eSIM for Islamabad, Lahore and Northern Pakistan

Our top pick, Roamless, has no city-level reports, and no place has 3 or more reports from any provider, so the country picks apply everywhere.

What we can add comes from network data, not from travelers. In the Q1 2026 PTA and Opensignal city tables, as reported by TechJuice, Zong had the fastest downloads in Lahore, Karachi and Faisalabad, and Jazz in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar and Quetta. We have no traveler reports from Gilgit, Muzaffarabad or Azad Kashmir; the same data shows the lowest speeds in the country there, with the state-owned SCO the slowest operator. Maya Mobile's two misses were in Islamabad and Northern Pakistan, and its page names no network, so we cannot tie them to Jazz or Zong. Holafly, Airalo and Ubigi run on Zong, and Nomad, Roamless, ByteSIM and Ubigi on Jazz, which makes Ubigi the only provider with both networks.

Local SIM Cards and Operator eSIMs in Pakistan

A local SIM is cheaper than a travel eSIM for anything above roughly 1 to 3 GB, but only if you can complete an in-person registration. That is our arithmetic from the operator prices below, as of September 2026, and all local prices should be re-checked in store. A travel eSIM roams on a local network and needs no phone registration [2].

Zong: foreign visitors need the original passport with a valid visa, the FIA entry stamp and a CSAF form, with a thumbprint [6]. Zong allows up to 2 SIMs per foreigner, and the SIM is valid only as long as the visa [7]. A Zong eSIM costs Rs 2,000, is issued in person with biometrics, and needs both phone IMEI numbers sent to 8484 and emailed so the phone can be whitelisted [5]. Zong's 30-day Internet SIM bundles listed 20 GB for Rs 575 (10 GB of it only from 1 to 9 am) and 40 GB for Rs 940 (20 GB of it only from 1 to 9 am) as of September 2026 [8].

Jazz: a SIM starts from Rs 350 with the original passport and a valid visa, in person, with biometrics [4]. Jazz pages disagree on the eSIM fee. The eSIM profile costs Rs 2,000 excluding standard number charges, and another Jazz FAQ states Rs 5,000 for a new number, so confirm in store (as of 26 September 2026) [4]. A June 2026 ProPakistani tracker lists Jazz Weekly X at Rs 608 for 100 GB, on-net and off-net minutes and SMS for 7 days (reported, re-check).

Tax is the open question. ARY News reported in July 2026 that top-ups carry 15% advance income tax plus 19.5% sales tax, 34.5% in total, while a 2020 PTA notice shows an older rate, so we could not confirm the current one. Taking the Jazz SIM price as a stand-in because we could not confirm Zong's SIM price, a SIM plus Zong's 40 GB bundle comes to Rs 1,290, or about Rs 1,735 if that tax applies on top.

A foreign phone with a local SIM needs free temporary registration on the PTA portal [3], valid for up to 120 days and one device, with the SIM in your own name [2]. Third-party sources report a 60-day grace period before blocking; we could not confirm how it fits with the 120-day scheme. On airports, a July 2026 ProPakistani report says Zong opened a desk at Islamabad International Airport with instant activation, while an older tour operator page says the airport sells no SIMs. We could not settle that, so we would not plan around it.

A local SIM beats a travel eSIM for heavy data on a longer stay, when you can spare a store visit and your visa is valid. A travel eSIM wins for short trips, for arriving with data already working, and for anyone who cannot or will not do biometric checks.

Mobile Networks in Pakistan

Jazz and Zong are the two networks to know, and the measurements disagree on which is better. Jazz had the highest compliance in the PTA drive tests in Q1 and Q2 2026, according to reports by ProPakistani and PhoneWorld. Zong led the PTA and Opensignal crowd-sourced study in Q1 2026, according to TechJuice. Pakistan's regulator reports coverage above 92% and 95% of cellular networks 4G-enabled [1].

Ufone belongs to PTML, which bought 5G spectrum [9] and absorbed Telenor Pakistan in July 2026, according to Dawn and ProPakistani. The Telenor network was the weakest measured in 2026 data. Wikipedia reports that Ufone shut its 3G network in June 2025. Jazz and Zong launched 5G on 19 March 2026, according to DatacenterDynamics; Ufone's launch date needs re-checking. We could not confirm whether Pakistani networks give 5G to roaming eSIMs: Ubigi shows no 5G, Roamless lists 4G only, and Holafly says 5G where available [10].

Official pages name Zong for Holafly [10] and Airalo [11], Jazz for Nomad [13] and Roamless [14], and both Jazz and Zong for Ubigi [12]. ByteSIM's own blog says Jazz, which we treat as reported. Our comparison tool lists Jazz for eSIM4Travel, which we could not confirm. Saily and Maya Mobile did not name a network on their pages when we checked in September 2026, Yesim lists three without saying which, and we could not confirm GoMoWorld, Global YO, Jetpac or GigSky. Maya's coverage list, separate from its Pakistan page, names Jazz on LTE [19]. Taken together, Jazz carries most of the eSIMs in this article, and our research found it in the top two on every network benchmark we looked at. This is network data, not traveler reports. In the north every operator measured slow and regional shutdowns are a known risk, so a provider that lets you switch networks, as eSIMs with several networks do, has an edge.

How to Set Up an eSIM for Pakistan

Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi, then switch it on after you land.

1. Buy and install before you fly. Most plans start on first connection, but Yesim's plan started at purchase in our test and GoMoWorld's needs a manual Start. Activation windows run from 3 months (Jetpac) to 180 days (Saily, Yesim).
2. Get the eSIM as a QR code by email (eSIM4Travel, Airalo, Maya Mobile, Ubigi, Yesim, ByteSIM, Jetpac, Nomad, Holafly) or inside the app (GoMoWorld, Saily, Roamless, GigSky, Global YO). Our iPhone guide and Samsung guide cover the install.
3. On landing, turn on the eSIM line and data roaming. Some plans need an APN set by hand, for example Maya Mobile and Global YO ("globaldata") and Ubigi ("mobiledata").
4. If data stays slow, switch network by hand where the plan has two. Ubigi lists Jazz and Zong.
5. Keep a backup for zero data. Only GigSky and Ubigi let you buy more without Wi-Fi, and Roamless leaves a trickle.
6. If nothing connects, work through our troubleshooting guide.

Calls and SMS in Pakistan

Pakistan's calling code is +92, and most travel eSIMs are data-only, so calls go through WhatsApp or a similar app. In our comparison tool no Pakistan country plan includes minutes or texts. Airalo's global Discover+ plan covers Pakistan and adds a US number for calls and texts. Roamless offers in-app calls over data and an optional second number, Jetpac sells voice packs in its app, Saily has a US number add-on, and Global YO offers outgoing calls over data. Holafly Plans, Saily Ultra and Yesim sell numbers that receive SMS.

For a Pakistani number, a local SIM is the route. The June 2026 ProPakistani tracker lists Jazz Weekly X with on-net and off-net minutes and SMS.

Free eSIM Data for Pakistan

Roamless is the one free trial we can tie to Pakistan: our comparison tool lists a free Pakistan eSIM with free data and a 30-day trial that starts when you activate it. GoMoWorld, Jetpac and GigSky also offer free trials, but we could not confirm that any of them works in Pakistan. Our guide to free eSIM data and trials covers the rest.

Summary: the best eSIM for Pakistan

Only 8 of 17 travelers who reported from Pakistan got a travel eSIM working, so our picks lean on traveler reports from nearby countries: India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Sri Lanka. Roamless is the top pick: it worked for 16 of 16 travelers there and for the 1 traveler who reported from Pakistan, runs on Jazz, and is pay as you go, though it may need a quick APN fix. Maya Mobile is the second pick: it worked for 100 of 111 travelers nearby and sells one unlimited plan, best for a week or longer, but in Pakistan itself it worked for 2 of 4, with misses in Islamabad and Northern Pakistan. eSIM4Travel has no reports from Pakistan yet; it is often the cheapest provider we compare, the cheapest here in our comparison, and had the best help desk we tested, but it has no app. GoMoWorld has the best record of the providers with 3 or more reports from Pakistan, but 2 of 3 is too thin to make it a pick.

The evidence is thin: no provider has 20 reports from Pakistan, and each place with a report has only one. A local SIM costs less for heavy data on a longer stay but needs a visa, a passport and an in-store check. Based on the reports and our tests, the best eSIM for Pakistan is Roamless, followed by Maya Mobile, with eSIM4Travel the pick on price and support. Install it before you fly, and expect the north to be a weak spot on every network we have data for.
