Beeline across a very large country
Your eSIM connects to Beeline on 4G. Kazakhstan is the ninth largest country in the world and overwhelmingly empty, so coverage clusters around the cities and the main routes.
Almaty, Astana, Shymkent, Aktau and the highways linking them are well covered. The steppe between them, and the desert toward the Aral, are largely not.
Almaty, the mountains and the day trips
Almaty sits against the Tien Shan and most visitors head up — Shymbulak, Big Almaty Lake, the Kok Zhailau trail. Coverage is good in the city and the resort areas, and drops away as you climb into the gorges.
Charyn Canyon and Kolsai Lakes, the standard longer day trips, are several hours out across open steppe with intermittent signal on the way and limited coverage at the sites themselves. Download the route.
How much data
A week in Almaty and Astana runs on 3 GB. A fortnight including the canyon and lake trips wants 5 GB at £5.99. Long-distance train journeys across the steppe will be largely offline whatever you buy.
Good to know
Questions, answered
Will I have signal on the trip to Charyn Canyon?+
Intermittently on the drive and limited at the canyon itself — it's several hours out across open steppe. Download offline maps and confirm any pickup arrangements before you leave Almaty.
Is coverage good on the long-distance trains?+
Patchy at best. Kazakh rail journeys cross vast empty stretches with no masts for long periods. Expect to be offline for much of a multi-day route.
How do I install it?+
After checkout we email your eSIM and a QR code. Scan it in your phone's settings, switch the line on, and you're ready — do it before you fly and it activates when you land.
Will it work on my phone?+
Most phones from the last few years support eSIM (iPhone XS and newer, recent Samsung/Pixel). Check your phone in Settings, or use our compatibility checker.
When does my plan start?+
Validity counts from first connection in the destination, not from purchase — so you can buy and install early without wasting days.
Can I keep using my normal number?+
Yes. The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your usual SIM, so calls and texts on your main number still work.
