Find the best eSIM for Syria

There are 6 eSIM providers and 14 prepaid data plans available for use in Syria. Although the selection is more modest, travelers can still find a plan that meets their requirements.

Currently, there are no unlimited data eSIM plans available for Syria. Travelers heading to Syria should estimate their anticipated data usage based on planned activities like web browsing, social media, or using maps. It’s advisable to select a plan with a data allowance that comfortably covers these needs to avoid potential overage charges or service interruptions.

Syria's mobile telecommunications sector is served by three primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):

• Syriatel: Established in 2000, Syriatel is one of Syria's leading mobile operators, offering GSM, 3G, and 4G/LTE services.

• MTN Syria: Formerly known as Areeba, MTN Syria provides GSM and 3.5G broadband 4G (LTE) services.

• Wafa Telecom: Granted a license in 2022, Wafa Telecom is the newest entrant in the Syrian mobile market, with exclusive rights to operate 5G services.

Currently, there are no significant Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) in Syria. Most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure provided by the major MNOs listed above.

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS service are available for Syria. They are offered by Esimtofly, LinkeSIM, eSimfly, and Orange Travel. All these plans use the French dialing code +33, so the number is not a local Syria number. The plans provide inbound and outbound voice and SMS capabilities and range in price from about $19.90 to $35.99, with validity periods of 30 to 31 days and data allocations from 50 MB up to 20 GB. These options give travelers a functional phone number for calling and texting, though the number itself will not appear as a local Syrian contact.
