Pakistan eSIM for Travel – Instant 4G/LTE Data
Instant mobile data in Pakistan from £4.99. No roaming charges. Keep your UK number. Activates the moment you land.
From family visits to Hunza Valley treks, Pakistan trips lean heavily on WhatsApp and ride-hailing – an eSIM gets you online before you clear customs. TripSIM provides an instant Pakistan eSIM with coverage on Jazz, Zong, Telenor Pakistan, Ufone, so you can land at Karachi (KHI) and be online before you reach the taxi rank. UK British-Pakistani travel volumes are huge; roaming on UK carriers costs far more than locals pay in-country. No physical SIM swap, no airport kiosks, no surprises on your next UK phone bill.

Pakistan eSIM FAQs
Does an eSIM work in Pakistan?
Yes — TripSIM eSIMs work across Pakistan on local 4G/5G networks (Jazz, Zong, Telenor Pakistan). You activate before you fly and it connects automatically when you land.
Can I keep my UK number while using a Pakistan eSIM?
Yes. Your physical UK SIM stays active for calls, texts and WhatsApp. The TripSIM eSIM runs alongside it as a data-only line.
Is hotspot / tethering included?
Yes, every TripSIM plan supports personal hotspot.
When should I install the eSIM?
Install before you leave the UK while on WiFi. Activation only starts when you connect to a local network in Pakistan.
Is TripSIM cheaper than UK carrier roaming in Pakistan?
Almost always. UK carriers typically charge £7–£12 per MB on UK carriers in Pakistan. Save up to 92% vs UK roaming.
Will a TripSIM eSIM work across Pakistan?
Yes. TripSIM connects to Jazz, Zong, Telenor Pakistan, Ufone, which together cover Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and most Pakistan travel destinations. Coverage in remote regions may be more limited – check the coverage map before travelling off the main routes.
How much data do I need for a week in Pakistan?
For typical UK-tourist use (maps, messaging, social, occasional video calls), 0.5–1 GB per day is a comfortable allowance. We recommend our mid-tier plans for shorter trips and unlimited for two-week stays.
Is the TripSIM Pakistan eSIM faster than buying a SIM at Karachi airport?
Buying a local SIM in Pakistan usually means queueing at an arrivals kiosk, showing your passport, topping up in Pakistani Rupee and configuring APN settings. A TripSIM eSIM is QR-activated before you fly and online the moment your phone connects to a Pakistan network.
Can I make voice calls or send SMS with a TripSIM Pakistan eSIM?
TripSIM is a data-only eSIM. Voice and SMS are not supported – but you can call and message over WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram and other internet-based apps as normal. For UK emergency services, your physical SIM remains the appropriate route.
Does the TripSIM Pakistan eSIM work alongside my UK SIM?
Yes. Dual-SIM phones (iPhone XS and later, most modern Androids) can run your UK number for calls/SMS and your TripSIM data plan in parallel. We recommend turning off mobile data on your UK SIM to avoid roaming charges.
