Questions about Kyrgyzstan
Does this eSIM work at Issyk-Kul Lake?
Yes. The north shore resort towns (Cholpon-Ata, Bosteri, Karakol) all have solid 4G. The lake itself is the world's second-largest alpine lake and the north shore is well-connected.
Is there coverage at Song-Kul alpine lake?
No. Song-Kul (3,016 m) is one of Kyrgyzstan's most spectacular high-altitude lakes but has no mobile coverage. A genuine off-grid experience with nomadic yurt stays.
Does the eSIM work in Karakol for trekking logistics?
Yes. Karakol city has 4G — ideal for organising horse treks and hiring guides. The Jeti-Oguz red rock valley has 4G; the high mountain trails above are offline.
What currency does Kyrgyzstan use?
Kyrgyzstani som (KGS). USD is widely accepted in Bishkek and tourist guesthouses. ATMs in Bishkek dispense som and sometimes USD. Carry cash for rural and mountain areas.
Is Kyrgyzstan visa-free for Western travellers?
Yes. Citizens of the US, UK, EU, Australia, Canada, and many other countries can enter Kyrgyzstan visa-free for up to 30 or 60 days. Check the latest rules for your specific nationality.
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.
