• Altyn Asyr: A state-owned company operating under the TM CELL brand, providing GSM, 3G, and LTE services nationwide.

Previously, MTS Turkmenistan, a subsidiary of the Russian company MTS, offered mobile services in the country. However, as of 2017, MTS Turkmenistan ceased operations in Turkmenistan.

Currently, there are no Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) operating in Turkmenistan.

Travel eSIM plans that provide a phone number and SMS support are available for Turkmenistan. Providers such as Roamify, eSimfly and Orange Travel offer 30‑day plans that include voice (inbound and outbound) and SMS capabilities, with data caps ranging from 50 MB to 20 GB and prices from about $25 to $36. These plans give you a usable phone number, but the dialing code is +33, the code for France, so the number is not a local Turkmenistan number (Turkmenistan’s code is +993). The plans still allow you to receive and send calls and texts using the foreign number while you are in Turkmenistan.
