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.

Mongolia travel data guide
A Mongolia eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Mongolia that you install before you fly. Plans in Mongolia run on Mobicom, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 17 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $5.99. 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.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Mongolia, 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 Mongolia from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Mongolia FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Mongolia?
It connects wherever Mobicom 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 Mongolia, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 1 day 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 Mongolia?
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.
Which operator is behind the Mongolia eSIM?
Mobicom is the operator behind the Mongolia eSIM. It is the only one on these plans and is listed as 4G in our catalogue. Plans are labelled 3G/4G or 4G/5G, which shows the network types each plan can use.
Is 3 GB enough for two weeks in Mongolia?
3 GB over 15 days is enough for two weeks in Mongolia for maps, messaging and sending some photos when you have signal. It is not enough for daily video. Heavy users based in the city should look at the 15 day unlimited plan instead.
What are the downsides of an eSIM for Mongolia?
The main downsides in Mongolia are that the eSIM is data only, has no local number, and relies on one operator. Unlimited plans also slow to up to 1 Mbps after the daily amount of 1 GB or 3 GB. Top up is offered on some plans but not all.
Do my plan days start when I land in Mongolia?
Your plan days start when the eSIM first connects to a network in Mongolia, which for most people is shortly after landing. They do not start when you pay or install. After that first connection, the days run continuously until the plan ends.
Can I install the eSIM once I am already in Mongolia?
Yes, as long as you have WiFi to download it. Installing in Mongolia works the same as at home, using the QR code from your email or account. Doing it before departure is easier, since you will not be hunting for WiFi after a long flight.
I have no signal in Mongolia. Is the eSIM broken?
Probably not. First ask if there is Mobicom signal where you are standing, since the eSIM uses that network alone. In town, confirm that mobile data is set to the eSIM and data roaming is on for it. If it still fails in Mongolia, email support.
Does hotspot work on Mongolia unlimited plans?
Yes, hotspot works on Mongolia unlimited plans as it does on fixed ones. The data your other devices use is counted toward the daily full speed amount of 1 GB or 3 GB. After that, every connected device shares the slower speed.
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.
