Questions about Afghanistan
Is it safe to travel to Afghanistan?
No. Virtually all Western governments (US, UK, EU, Australia, Canada) advise against all travel to Afghanistan due to the extremely high risk of violence, terrorism, and kidnapping. Consular assistance is severely limited or unavailable.
Does this eSIM work if I am in Afghanistan for humanitarian or official work?
Yes. The eSIM connects to Afghan Wireless, Roshan, and MTN Afghanistan networks where available. Coverage is 4G in Kabul and major cities, with 3G in smaller towns.
What currency does Afghanistan use?
Afghan afghani (AFN). USD is sometimes used in commercial transactions. Banking services are severely limited — carry cash.
What is the time zone in Afghanistan?
AFT (UTC+4:30) — one of the world's rare half-hour non-standard offsets, 30 minutes ahead of Pakistan and 1 hour behind India.
Is there 5G in Afghanistan?
No. Afghanistan has not deployed 5G. Coverage is 4G/LTE in cities and 3G in rural areas where available.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of a physical card, you scan a QR code and your plan installs instantly — no SIM tray needed.
Is my phone eSIM-compatible?
iPhone XS (2018) and newer, most Android flagships from 2020+, and all Samsung Galaxy S21+ devices support eSIM. Check our compatibility page for the full device list.
How do I install the eSIM?
After purchase, we email a QR code. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Scan QR Code. On Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. The whole process takes under 60 seconds.
Can I keep my regular SIM while using this eSIM?
Yes. Most phones support dual SIM (physical + eSIM). Keep your home number for calls and SMS — use Flysimio for data abroad. You control which SIM handles what in your phone Settings.
Does the eSIM include a hotspot (tethering)?
Yes, all Flysimio plans include mobile hotspot at no extra charge. Share your data connection with laptops, tablets, or other devices freely.
What happens when my data runs out?
You can top up data from your account dashboard at any time. Top-ups are applied instantly — no need to buy a new eSIM or wait.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. We offer a full refund within 14 days of purchase. Contact contact@flysimio.com with your order number.
How long is the eSIM valid for?
You have 6 months from your purchase date to activate the eSIM. Once activated, the plan validity period (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) begins counting down.
Will the eSIM work at the airport when I land?
Yes — as long as you installed the eSIM before your flight, it activates automatically when your phone connects to a local network on landing. No Wi-Fi required for activation.
What if the QR code doesn't scan?
If the QR code won't scan, you can enter the activation code manually — we include both in the email. You can also contact our 24/7 support team and we'll resend or manually provision your eSIM.
