SIM Cards
There are eSIMs available for Afghanistan from providers like Airalo and others, but they are a lot more expensive compared to a local SIM card obtained in the country and often don't allow for any voice calling. They can still be a good way to get started and ensure you have data from the moment you arrive in the country.
To obtain a SIM card within Afghanistan, you must take your passport with you and choose one of the local providers. These include the following.
MTN: 1000 AFN for 20GB of data.
Roshan: 770 AFN for 10GB of data, 500 AFN for 5GB.
Afghan Wireless (AWCC): 1200 AFN for 25 GB of data.
