“I am currently in Pakistan. I am using Mobimatter 17GB, 365days Asia Pacific plan. If I trust my ipad bar, signal is very strong, but I cannot see even a small web page. 4 out of 5, it fails, even when it succeed , it takes many minutes to download a simple page. Please find what is the problem. Is it because of this region(Hunza)? Because in china, it was OK. But I don't think you can call Pakistan service area, if the service quality is this low.”

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

Pakistan's mobile network infrastructure is supported by several major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), each offering extensive coverage and a range of services:

Jazz: Formed by the merger of Mobilink and Warid, Jazz is the largest mobile network operator in Pakistan, providing 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE services nationwide.
Telenor Pakistan: A subsidiary of the Norwegian Telenor Group, Telenor Pakistan offers 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE services, known for its reliable network coverage and competitive pricing.
Zong (CMPak): Owned by China Mobile, Zong provides 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE services, recognized for its high-speed internet and affordable data packages.
Ufone: A subsidiary of Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL), Ufone offers 2G, 3G, and 4G services, focusing on quality voice and data packages.
Special Communications Organization (SCO): A government-owned entity operating primarily in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, SCO provides 2G, 3G, and 4G services in these regions.

In Pakistan, Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) lease network access from major carriers to offer mobile services. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.

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

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS services are available for Pakistan. Providers that offer such plans include GlobaleSIM, JamboSim, ESIM.DOG, Roamify, and RedEx eSIM, and there are additional options from other carriers. Most of these plans use foreign dialing codes such as +1, +33, +376, or +44, so the number is not local to Pakistan and callers will see a non‑Pakistani country code. Only the RedEx eSIM plan supplies a local Pakistani number with dialing code +92. Voice calls are generally available both inbound and outbound on the majority of plans, and SMS can be sent and received as well. Prices for 1 GB data plans start around $4.00 for a 7‑day validity, while larger 20 GB plans can cost more than $100 for up to a year of validity. Travelers should verify that the specific voice and SMS capabilities meet their needs before purchasing.
