Is 5G available in Azerbaijan?
No commercial 5G yet. Azercell, Bakcell and Nar all ran 5G trials between December 2022 and May 2023, so 4G is what you will actually use.
How much data do you need in Azerbaijan?
Light use is about 500 MB a day. That covers maps, messages, and some browsing. Normal use with photos, social apps, and short videos runs 1 to 1.5 GB a day. Streaming and hotspot use can eat 2 to 3 GB a day. Here is what each size costs in Azerbaijan right now:
eSIM or a local SIM at the airport in Azerbaijan?
An eSIM is ready before you land. No queue, no shop, no handing over your passport at a counter. Data for Azerbaijan starts at $19.71 on this page, which is hard for airport kiosks to beat. A local SIM still makes sense if you need a local phone number or plan to stay for months. For a normal trip, the eSIM wins on price and effort.
Setting up your Azerbaijan eSIM
Buy your planYou get a QR code by email within minutes of paying.
Install before you flyScan the QR code on wifi at home. Airport and hotel wifi can be weak.
Turn it on when you landEnable the eSIM and turn on data roaming for it, then give it a minute to find the network.
Check the validity clockSome plans start counting at purchase, not at first use. Check before you buy.
Good to know before you land in Azerbaijan
If you use a local SIM for more than 30 days you must register your phone's IMEI and pay a fee at a local post office. Skip it and your device can be blocked on local networks. Find your IMEI in settings or by dialling *#06#.
SIM cards are sold at Heydar Aliyev airport and in shops all over Baku. Bring your passport, since purchases are registered against ID.
Pick Azercell if you plan to ride the Baku metro, since it is the only network with coverage down there. Top ups and starter packs are sold in almost every corner shop.
