Kazakhstan eSIM — Almaty, Astana and the mountains
A BellRoam Kazakhstan eSIM gives you mobile data across Kazakhstan without buying a SIM on arrival. Receive the QR code by email, install it before you fly and switch it on when you land in Almaty or Astana.
Network and coverage
| Network | Beeline on total-data plans; a local partner network on daily and unlimited plans |
| Strong coverage | Almaty, Astana, Shymkent and other cities |
| Weaker spots | Long steppe highways and mountain areas such as Charyn Canyon and the Kolsai Lakes |
The network shown on each plan is the one your eSIM connects to.
Which plan should I choose?
- Almaty city trip: maps, messaging, ride-hailing and social media fit in a small total-data plan.
- A week with mountain day trips: choose a mid-size plan if you navigate all day, upload photos or share a hotspot.
- Remote work or lots of video: pick the largest plan, or an unlimited plan; each shows its speed and fair-use terms before you buy.
- Daily data plans (1GB or 3GB per day) give you a fresh allowance every day; after it, speed is reduced until the next day.
eSIM, local SIM or roaming?
| BellRoam eSIM | Airport SIM | Roaming from home | |

| Keep your own number | Yes, on your main SIM | You swap SIM cards | Yes |
