Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Iraq travel data guide
A Iraq eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Iraq that you install before you fly. Plans in Iraq run on Asia Cell, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 16 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $3.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Middle East (5 countries) eSIM covers Iraq and 4 other countries on one plan, from $4.99. The Middle East eSIM covers Iraq and 20 other countries on one plan, from $6.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Iraq, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Iraq from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Iraq FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Iraq?
It connects wherever Asia Cell has signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Iraq, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 15 days from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Iraq?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Is there a 7 day fixed data plan for Iraq?
No, Iraq has no fixed plan that lasts 7 days. Fixed plans are either 1 day, 15 days or 30 days long. For a one week trip, choose the 7 day unlimited plan or the 3 GB plan with 15 days of validity.
Is 3 GB enough for 15 days in Iraq?
3 GB is enough for 15 days in Iraq if you mostly message, read email and check maps, with WiFi doing the rest. It is not enough for daily video calls. In that case take the 15 day unlimited plan, which gives full speed up to 1 GB or 3 GB per day.
Will I get an Iraqi phone number?
No, the Iraq eSIM does not include an Iraqi phone number. It is data only. To reach local contacts, use a messaging or calling app, and keep your own SIM in the phone for regular calls and text messages.
Can I install the Iraq eSIM before my trip without losing days?
Yes, you can install the Iraq eSIM before your trip and lose nothing. The plan's days begin when the eSIM first connects to the network in Iraq. Installing at home on WiFi is the recommended way to do it.
Do I have to remove my physical SIM to use the eSIM?
No, your physical SIM stays where it is. The Iraq eSIM is added as a second line on the phone. Set it as the line for mobile data, and keep data roaming switched off on the physical SIM to avoid charges from your carrier.
Can I share my Iraq data with another device?
Yes, every Iraq plan allows hotspot, so you can share data with a laptop or another phone. The shared data counts against your plan. On unlimited plans it also counts toward the daily full speed amount of 1 GB or 3 GB.
Who do I contact if the eSIM stops working in Iraq?
Contact support by email, which is answered seven days a week. Before writing, check that mobile data is set to the eSIM line and that data roaming is on for it. Mention your order email and the Iraq plan you bought so the reply can be specific.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
