What an Uzbeknet eSIM costs
The cheapest published plan on the Uzbekistan travel eSIM is $4.00 for 1 GB valid 7 days. A 2 GB / 15 day plan is $7.00, a 3 GB / 30 day plan is $8.50, a 5 GB / 30 day plan is $13.00, 10 GB over 30 days is $21.00, and 20 GB over 30 days is $33.00. The 3 GB / 30 day plan is the value pick: a full month for $4.50 more than the 7 day plan. Per gigabyte the curve improves from $4.00 to about $1.65 on the 20 GB bucket.
Network
The plan is sold under the operator name Uzbeknet and the supported country is Uzbekistan. The product page publishes the speed as LTE, and real speed still depends on the mast, the handset, and the carrier Fair Usage Policy. Uzbekistan is covered as one country on this plan. The Silk Road cities are the realistic sweet spot: Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva are all on the main rail and road corridors and are well covered, while the Karakalpakstan end towards Nukus and the Aral Sea is remote and thin. The product page does not publish a coverage map, so treat long desert drives as outside the guarantee. Uzbekistan is doubly landlocked and the plan does not cover Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, or Afghanistan, so any of those border crossings needs its own plan.
How much data you actually need
Maps, chat, and train tickets sit inside 1 GB for a short city stay, provided you save maps offline. A two-week Silk Road route with daily photo uploads is realistically 3 GB to 5 GB, and a month of travel or hotspotting is 10 GB. Hotel Wi-Fi is standard in Tashkent and the main tourist cities and patchier in the smaller towns, so plan the bucket around where you are staying rather than around the calendar.
Unlimited data
Unlimited plans are listed on the same product page: $12.50 for 3 days, $20.50 for 5 days, $27.50 for 7 days and $49.00 for 15 days. A 10 day tier and a 30 day tier are listed too, but both are out of stock, so 15 days is the longest unlimited plan you can buy right now. Compare them against the buckets before buying: 20 GB over 30 days costs $33.00, only $5.50 more than 7 days of unlimited, and it lasts four times as long. Unlimited also sits under a Fair Usage Policy, so a hotspot left running all day is exactly what gets slowed.
Dual SIM
Keep your home SIM for calls and bank texts. Turn on data roaming only for the Uzbeknet 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 Tashkent International Airport (TAS), with Samarkand (SKD) and Urgench (UGC) for Khiva handling a smaller number of flights, and land crossings from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. 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 “Uzbekistan”.
- 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.
FAQ
Q1: How much is the cheapest Uzbekistan eSIM?
$4.00 for 1 GB, valid 7 days, on the Uzbeknet plan.
Q2: Which operator is on the plan?
Uzbeknet. The supported country is Uzbekistan.
Q3: Does it include calls and SMS?
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 LTE, not 5G. Real speed still depends on coverage and the Fair Usage Policy.
Q5: Can I install it after I land?
Yes, if you can reach Wi-Fi. Installing before the flight is simpler, because the QR download needs a connection.
Q6: Will it work outside Uzbekistan?
No. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan each need their own plan.
Q7: Are all the unlimited plans available?
No. The 10 day and 30 day unlimited tiers are listed but out of stock. The ones on sale are $12.50 for 3 days, $20.50 for 5 days, $27.50 for 7 days and $49.00 for 15 days.
Q8: Can I share it as a hotspot?
Yes, within the data allowance. Hotspot traffic counts against the same gigabytes, and heavy sharing can hit the Fair Usage Policy.
Q9: What if the QR code fails?
Use the manual activation code in the same email. The phone still has to be unlocked.
Q10: When were these prices checked?
October 2026, against the published variation prices on travelydata.com.
Bottom line
For a week in Uzbekistan, the $4.00 / 1 GB Uzbeknet plan is the entry point, and the 3 GB / 30 day plan at $8.50 is the one most travellers should buy because it lasts a full month. A two-week Silk Road route is 5 GB, a month of heavier use is 10 GB at $21.00. The published speed is LTE, 15 days is the longest unlimited plan currently on sale, and the fixed buckets are the more predictable buy.
