What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Iraq?

Iraq's telecommunications sector is served by several major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):

Zain Iraq: A subsidiary of Kuwait-based Zain Group, Zain Iraq offers mobile voice and data services, including 3G and 4G connectivity, and holds a significant market share in the country.
Asiacell: Part of the Qatar-based Ooredoo Group, Asiacell provides extensive mobile voice and data services, with nationwide coverage reaching over 99% of the Iraqi population.
Korek Telecom: An Iraqi-owned company, Korek Telecom offers mobile services with a focus on expanding its network infrastructure and enhancing service quality.

In addition to these MNOs, Iraq has smaller operators and Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that cater to specific customer segments or offer niche services. These operators often rely on agreements with the major mobile operators for network access. However, most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure, not MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Iraq?

Yes, travel eSIM plans that provide a phone number and SMS service for Iraq are available. The providers that offer such plans are GlobaleSIM, Roamify, and TravelKon. GlobaleSIM’s plans give a phone number with dialing code +1, enable inbound and outbound voice calls, and allow inbound SMS. Roamify and TravelKon also provide phone numbers with dialing code +33, support inbound and outbound voice calls, and offer both inbound and outbound SMS.

All of these numbers use foreign dialing codes, so the eSIM cannot deliver a local Iraq number (which would use +964). Prices for the available options begin around US$4 for a 1 GB 7‑day GlobaleSIM plan and rise to roughly US$35 for a 10 GB 30‑day GlobaleSIM plan; Roamify’s 5 GB 30‑day plan is priced at US$35, and TravelKon’s 5 GB 30‑day plan comes in at about US$42. All plans provide the necessary voice and SMS functionality for travelers wishing to maintain contact while in Iraq.
