Which networks you connect to in Afghanistan

Roshan B1, B3 — No
MTN Afghanistan B1, B3 — No
Etisalat Afghanistan B1, B3 — No

Coverage in Afghanistan

No operator has a live public 5G network. 4G coverage is concentrated in urban areas; large rural areas have only 3G or 2G service, and mountainous regions often have no service at all.

Common Questions

The details worth knowing about your Afghanistan eSIM

Our eSIM for Afghanistan does not include coverage in neighbouring countries. If you cross into Pakistan, you will need a separate eSIM or local SIM for that territory. The eSIM is restricted to networks within Afghanistan only.

All five Afghan operators use both 4G bands B1 and B3. If your phone lacks B3, you may experience reduced 4G coverage or drop to 3G in areas where the network relies more on B3. In cities with strong B1 signals, 4G should still work, but performance varies.

The Wakhan Corridor is a mountainous rural area. Based on known coverage, 4G is limited to urban zones, and mountainous regions often have no service. You may have no connectivity there, or only sporadic 2G or 3G near towns, if available.

Your eSIM will automatically connect to available partnered networks, typically selecting the strongest signal. You cannot manually choose a specific operator like AWCC or Roshan. The eSIM may roam across any of the five operators depending on location and signal.

4G coverage is concentrated in urban areas like Kabul. On the road to Bamiyan, large rural stretches may have only 3G or 2G, and some mountainous sections may have no service. Your eSIM will connect to the best available network, but expect gaps in connectivity outside cities.
