Your eSIM will activate automatically once you step off the plane in Iraq. We do suggest installing your Iraq Travel eSIM before departure (installation ≠ activation).
Installation is a breeze: scan the QR code provided or install via the ZenSim app over WiFi. Upon landing, the eSIM will activate itself.
Encountering issues? Visit our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us 😊
Of course. Open the ZenSim app and log in. From there, you can choose to top up your eSIM with additional days or gigabytes.
Just select the top-up plan you need (for example, another 30 days or a plan of 10GB) and complete your purchase — it’s instant.
Once you arrive in Iraq, your eSIM activates automatically if it’s already installed.
If you install it after arriving, the eSIM will activate and begin working immediately.
For any setup or connection problems, refer to our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact our support.
Nope — the eSIM waits for you to land in Iraq before beginning data usage or counting plan days, unless of course you're already in Iraq then yes it will start using data immediately.
We advise installing before departure over WiFi so you can be connected as soon as you land on the tarmac.
For any connection hiccups, check out our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or get in touch.
Definitely. Install your Iraq travel eSIM up to 30 days before departure, and it will activate automatically when you arrive.
Installing early won’t consume data or days from your plan until you land in Iraq.
If an iPhone shows an activation error when installing abroad, you can safely ignore it — check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for guidance.
No, our Iraq eSIMs only deliver mobile data. For voice or SMS, you’ll need to use an app that works over data - WhatsApp, Skype, or other similar internet calling platforms.
Of course! At ZenSim, we offer eSIMs that support over 200+ countries, including Iraq. On top of this we also provide regional eSIMs which cover multiple countries within one eSIM, please see our Travel eSIMs page for more info on these.
Not exactly. Once your Iraq eSIM is active, it’s tied to that country.
If you're visiting more than one place, our regional Travel eSIMs offer broader coverage so you can roam freely across multiple destinations.
Absolutely - using a travel eSIM beats roaming in Iraq for several reasons:
Cost Efficiency: Our Iraq local data rates are much cheaper than pay-as-you-go roaming fees.
Instant Activation: No need to wait for a SIM card; your eSIM goes live as soon as you land.
Data Visibility: Monitor exactly how much you’ve consumed, so there are no hidden surprises on your bill.
No, these eSIMs only provide data access and do not assign you a phone number. To make calls, please use internet - enabled apps such as WhatsApp or FaceTime.

Discover the Ancient City of Babylon
Babylon, one of the most famous cities of the ancient world, is a must-visit for history lovers.
