Asiacell eSIM FAQ
Does Asiacell offer an eSIM?
Yes — QR codes at main Asiacell shops for existing and new numbers, online line sales with delivery inside Iraq, and new-line activation via 333. Iraqi ID registration applies to every local line.
Can I get an Asiacell eSIM online from outside Iraq?
No — the webshop needs an Iraqi delivery address and ID registration. From abroad, the online option is a travel eSIM on the same Asiacell network: bought from anywhere, installed before you fly, from $3.16.
Which travel eSIM uses Asiacell?
eSIMfly's Iraq and Kurdistan plans run on Asiacell + Korek together — one eSIM for the whole country, switching to the strongest signal. FIB payment and IQD pricing supported for Iraqi customers.
Does it work in Erbil and Kurdistan?
Yes — that's the point of the dual network: Korek leads in Erbil and Duhok while Asiacell carries the rest of the country and Sulaymaniyah. Flying into Erbil? See our Erbil Airport eSIM guide for the arrival flow.
Will my WhatsApp keep working?
Yes — the travel eSIM is data-only; keep your home SIM installed with data roaming off and WhatsApp stays on your existing number, using the eSIM's data.
