Bought the wrong plan? An unused, never-activated eSIM can be refunded in full within 30 days of purchase. See our refund policy for the full terms.
Fixed data plans give you a set amount of data, for example 1 GB or 5 GB, to use at full speed for the whole plan period. When it runs out, you top up or buy again. Pick this if you know roughly how much you'll use.
Unlimited plans have no total data cap for the plan period, but each day includes a high-speed allowance. Once you use that day's allowance, you carry on at a reduced speed. Reduced-speed data has a daily limit too, and if you reach it, data pauses until the allowance resets 24 hours after you activate the eSIM. Pick this for heavier or less predictable use. A fair-use policy applies.
Pay As You Go is not a plan at all. You add credit once and it comes off by the megabyte at the local rate as you use it, so you never pay for data you do not finish. Credit never expires, data pauses when the balance hits zero, and the same eSIM keeps working across every country we cover. It costs more per gigabyte than a plan, so pick this for light or hard to predict use rather than heavy days.
Add your other stops and we check whether one regional eSIM costs less.
Buying a Pakistani SIM for your own phone? Then the handset needs registering, since Pakistan's DIRBS system eventually blocks non-compliant devices. Pakistan's tax authority runs a temporary scheme that lets foreign visitors register one phone for up to 120 days, using their passport and a local SIM issued in their name.
The UK government warns that mobile data and internet access can be cut without warning during protests or civil unrest, and roads in and around cities may be blocked too. Keep maps, tickets and your hotel's address saved offline so a sudden cut doesn't strand you.
Flights to and from the northern mountains are frequently delayed or cancelled, and the UK notes that roads such as the N15 between Chilas and Babusar in Gilgit-Baltistan are inaccessible at some times of year. Build spare days into a Hunza or Skardu trip.
