What a Sarez Telecom eSIM costs
The cheapest published plan on the Tajikistan travel eSIM is $7.50 for 1 GB valid 7 days. A 2 GB / 15 day plan is $13.50, a 3 GB / 30 day plan is $19.00, and 5 GB over 30 days is $32.00. There is no unlimited SKU on this product. Two larger tiers are listed and both are out of stock: 10 GB at $32.00 and 20 GB at $45.00, so 5 GB is the largest plan you can actually buy today. It is not a bargain per gigabyte either, at $6.40 against $6.33 on the 3 GB plan. The 10 GB tier carries the same $32.00 price as 5 GB, but it cannot be bought at the moment, so 5 GB is what is on the page as buyable.
Network
The plan is sold under the operator name Sarez Telecom and the supported country is Tajikistan. The product page publishes the speed as 4G, and real speed still depends on the mast, the handset, and the carrier Fair Usage Policy. Tajikistan is covered as one country on this plan. The realistic split is between the lowland cities, where the network is dense, and the mountains, where it is not: Dushanbe, Khujand and the Ferghana valley end of the country behave very differently from the Pamir plateau, where the main road runs for long stretches with no mast at all. The product page does not publish a coverage map, so treat the Pamir Highway and the remote valleys as outside the guarantee and download your maps and bookings while you still have signal. It does not cover Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, or China, so any border crossing needs its own plan.
How much data you actually need
Maps, chat, and guesthouse bookings sit inside 1 GB for a short city stay, provided you save maps offline. A Pamir trip changes the arithmetic completely, because there is no Wi-Fi to fall back on for days at a time and the phone becomes the only way to check route conditions or message home: two weeks of travel with daily uploads is realistically 5 GB, and a longer route has to lean on top-ups, because the 10 GB and 20 GB buckets are listed but out of stock. Data here is bought for the gaps, not for the towns.
Unlimited data
This product has no unlimited plan. Every option is a fixed bucket: 1 GB for 7 days, 2 GB for 15 days, or 3 GB and 5 GB for 30 days. The 10 GB and 20 GB buckets are still listed on the page but are out of stock. If you need a lot of data, the 5 GB bucket at $32.00 is the largest one on sale, and top-ups are available if it runs short.
Dual SIM
Keep your home SIM for calls and bank texts. Turn on data roaming only for the Sarez Telecom line. iPhone: Settings, Mobile Data, pick the travel line. Android: Settings, Network, SIMs, set mobile data to the travel eSIM. Do this before you leave the airport Wi-Fi.
Arrival and transit
Most visitors land at Dushanbe International Airport (DYU), with Khujand (LBD) serving the north and land crossings from Uzbekistan at Panjakent and the Ferghana valley, from Kyrgyzstan near Karakul, and from China at Kulma on the Pamir highway. Install the eSIM on hotel or home Wi-Fi before the flight, then switch the data line on after you clear arrivals. You do not need a local shop or a passport photo for this plan.
Install
- Buy the plan and open the QR code in the order email while you still have Wi-Fi.
- On the phone, add an eSIM and scan that code. Label the line “Tajikistan”.
- After landing, set mobile data to that line and leave your home number on for texts.
Phone compatibility
The phone must be carrier-unlocked and eSIM-capable. iPhone XS and later, and recent Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models, qualify. A locked handset will not take the QR code. Check the lock status with your home carrier before you pay.

No. It is a data plan, with voice calls only through apps such as WhatsApp or FaceTime. Keep your home SIM for calls and one-time passwords.
Q4: Is it 5G?
No. The product page lists the speed as 4G. Real speed still depends on coverage and the Fair Usage Policy.
Q5: Can I install it after I land?

No. Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and China each need their own plan.

Q8: Is there an unlimited option?
No. There is no unlimited SKU on this product.

October 2026, against the published variation prices on travelydata.com.
Bottom line
For a short stay in Dushanbe, the $7.50 / 1 GB Sarez Telecom plan is the entry point, but for anything longer the 5 GB / 30 day plan at $32.00 is the largest one on sale, with the 10 GB and 20 GB tiers out of stock and top-ups the way to add more. The published speed is 4G, coverage is Tajikistan only, and there is no unlimited option.
