Even at the Manas airport i already could NOT connect to the data/service. So i tried activating the esim in the Global Yo app (it is supposed to be automatically activated once I could connect but since I could not connect I thought I would need to activate it manually). Then I tried restarting my phone too but that didn’t work either.
It’s been a few hours and I’ve obviously left the airport now. Even within the city and town there is no service. Only managing to post this review using the guesthouse wifi.
Why sell a product that does not work, and customer service is not 24-7 available to help? I hope when Global Yo does reply I will be in a location that has wifi access to be able to read their reply.

Went to Khujand and Panjakent in Tajikistan, but couldn't get a connection.

There are about 50 travel eSIM providers and more than 1, 700 prepaid data plans available for Central Asia. This wide variety of options makes it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.
Unlimited data eSIM options do exist for Central Asia. Providers such as Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM and Yesim all offer plans with no data cap for periods ranging from one to thirty days. The unlimited plans typically come with speed restrictions: Yoho Mobile and abesteSIM cap the maximum speed at 5Mbps and may throttle speeds during heavy usage, while Yesim’s plans do not list a specific speed limit but similarly may experience throttling. The prices for these unlimited packages vary considerably, with budgets available from around $3.29 up to $449.07 USD, depending on the provider and validity period.
When traveling in Central Asia you can obtain a travel eSIM that includes a phone number and SMS service. GlobaleSIM offers several plans, ranging from 1 GB to 5 GB of data for 7 to 21 days, with prices between $11.00 and $24.00. These plans provide an international number with dialing code +1, allow both inbound and outbound voice calls, and support inbound SMS only, meaning the number is not local to Central Asia but foreign.
