Before choosing your plan
Staying connected in Iraq
Most visitors to Iraq travel for work in Baghdad, Basra or the Kurdistan Region around Erbil, or join pilgrim groups heading to Karbala and Najaf, busiest during Arbaeen. Some come for ancient Mesopotamian sites such as Babylon and the Erbil citadel; follow official travel advice before and during your trip.
Coverage and networks
The plan information names this network in Iraq: Asiacell.
According to the plan information, this eSIM roam from a Singapore home network: your phone connects to the networks above, but some apps and websites may see your location as Singapore.
Signal and speed depend on where you are, your device and network conditions, and can differ between plans.
Choosing a data allowance
eSIM plans for Iraq currently last 1 to 30 days and come in these types:
- Daily data (500MB, 1GB, 2GB and 3GB per day): suits a steady routine. Check when the daily allowance resets and what happens once it is used.
- Total data (1GB to 50GB): one allowance for the whole trip, handy when some days are heavier than others.
- Unlimited: always read the fair-use policy; after a set amount, speed may be reduced.
Suggestions for this trip
- A 7 to 10-day pilgrimage or business trip: 1GB a day covers messaging, maps and short video calls home; with many online meetings, choose 2GB a day.
Count your arrival and departure days. Before paying, check the exact plan for when validity starts, how days are counted, and whether hotspot, calls or SMS are included; these differ between plans.
Before you go
- Payments: Dinar and US dollar cash dominate; international cards work only in some larger hotels.
- Network shutdowns: Iraq has repeatedly cut internet access for set hours during national exams; if you travel in exam season, plan online tasks outside those hours.
- eSIM setup: Before buying, make sure your phone supports eSIM and is not carrier-locked. Install the eSIM before you fly, on a stable Wi-Fi connection, following the instructions sent with your plan.
- On arrival: Set the travel eSIM as your mobile data line and follow its roaming instructions. Turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid unexpected charges.
