Roaming Price Audit: What 10 Days of Data Cost in Uzbekistan
HelloRoam is the top pick for Uzbekistan: its 7-day unlimited plan costs $21.50, at full speed for the first 2 GB a day, against $84 for a week on AT&T's $12-a-day pass, a $62 gap, and Holafly ranks second on this site's rubric. HelloRoam takes checkout through Stripe, with Apple Pay and Google Pay, in 31+ currencies. Airalo covers 200+ destinations to HelloRoam's 185. HelloRoam's price is from its catalogue of 29 Oct 2026, rivals' from the 30 Oct 2026 price check; AT&T's rate was checked June 2026.
Currency is the column nobody prices. HelloRoam settles a Uzbekistan order in 31 currencies, and a dollar charge on a euro or sterling card picks up 2 to 4 percent at the bank.
Airalo, Holafly and Saily plans, Uzbekistan
HelloRoam's app runs in 63 languages, so you can buy, install and manage the Uzbekistan eSIM in your own language: fixed data from $3.99 for 1 GB over 7 days, and unlimited at $21.50 for 7 days of unlimited data, at full speed for the first 2 GB each day.

Pay-per-use cost audit
Uzbekistan data charges on AT&T pay-per-use: real dollar amounts
AT&T pay-per-use data in Uzbekistan costs $2.05/MB when no $12/day international day pass is active. At that rate, five common activities add up quickly.
5-minute FaceTime call (~75 MB): $154. 30-minute Zoom meeting (~450 MB): $922. 1 hour of Google Maps navigation (~50 MB): $102. Uploading 20 vacation photos (~200 MB): $410. 1 hour of YouTube (~500 MB): $1025. Combined, those five activities use roughly 1.3 GB — before background app refresh or iCloud sync adds anything. Rates checked June 2026. Source: AT&T international rate card.
Personalize your savings
Your Uzbekistan saving against $12 a day
Adjust the trip length, the carrier and the daily data below and the calculator reprices both sides. The starting point is the 10-day average stay recorded for Uzbekistan: $120 on an AT&T day pass at $12 a day, against $29.49 for a 20GB travel eSIM. Both prices buy access to the same local operators.
Network coverage
Uzbekistan operator coverage: urban and rural
Beeline runs all cellular service in Uzbekistan. Verizon TravelPass routes you through Beeline at $12/day. A travel eSIM routes through a local network at $1.47/GB. The service is identical. Only the bill changes. Uzbekistan has 5G through Beeline. There is no 5G-premium tier in carrier roaming or eSIM plans. AT&T's $12/day covers 5G. An eSIM at $1.47/GB covers 5G. You do not pay more for faster service under either model. Uzbekistan has limited 5G coverage. 5G in Tashkent; early deployment
Network attachment record
The networks behind both prices in Uzbekistan
HelloRoam publishes one local operator for Uzbekistan: Beeline.
One operator means no fallback network.
Where Beeline has no signal, an eSIM has nowhere else to attach.
HelloRoam records a 5G label against Beeline.
Carrier roaming meets the same ceiling, because roaming rents local networks.
Price is what separates the two options in Uzbekistan. This page prices both.
5G and 4G here are capability labels. Neither one is a speed reading.
The operator file behind this page covers 185 destinations and 154 operators, 98 of those destinations carrying a 5G label. Uzbekistan is one of 117 single-operator destinations in that file: Beeline. Carrier roaming reaches the same radios, so the gap between the two prices is a billing gap.

Pricing breakdown
What you pay for data in Uzbekistan — carrier vs eSIM
Carrier roaming costs for 14 days in Uzbekistan, ranked: T-Mobile high-speed add-on $75, Verizon TravelPass $168, AT&T International Day Pass $120, eSIM 10GB on a local network $14.70. The eSIM option costs 88% less than AT&T, which bills $12 a day.
The eSIM daily rate works out to $1.05 when spread across 14 days. AT&T charges $12/day, which is 11.4x that figure. T-Mobile's high-speed pass is $10/day. All three connect to the same local towers in Uzbekistan.
Per-GB rates for Uzbekistan eSIM plans: 1GB at $3.99 ($3.99/GB), 3GB at $7.49 ($2.50/GB), 5GB at $11.49 ($2.30/GB), 10GB at $18.49 ($1.85/GB), 20GB at $29.49 ($1.47/GB). Larger plans cost less per gigabyte, so buying up one tier saves money if you are close to the limit. Unlimited daily plans remove the per-GB calculation entirely at $2.79/day for 14 days.
Unlimited data for Uzbekistan starts at $3.49 for 1 day and runs to $71.20 for 30, priced 1 day at $3.49, 3 days at $9.95, 7 days at $21.50, 14 days at $39.09, 30 days at $71.20. Unlimited here means 2GB a day at full speed before a fair-use policy applies. Catalogue prices read 29 Oct 2026.
Trip cost breakdown
What your carrier charges for each Uzbekistan trip type
The 3-day traveler pays $36 on AT&T for maps and messaging in Uzbekistan. A 3GB eSIM on a local network covers the same trip for $7.49 — $28.51 less.
The 14-day family vacation reaches $120 in AT&T charges per person. Four lines on one account come to $300, because each extra line used the same day adds $6. Four 20GB eSIM plans on a local network cost $117.96 combined — $182.04 less for the group.
A 30-day stay runs $120 on AT&T for video calls and streaming. A 50GB eSIM on a local network at $73.59 is 39% less for the same local towers. Rates checked June 2026.
Airport options
What to buy at Uzbekistan airports for data
Hotel WiFi in Uzbekistan covers basic email but rarely handles navigation or ride-hailing apps at the same time. If you skip the airport SIM counter planning to use hotel WiFi, you may land without data for the taxi from arrivals. A 1GB eSIM at $3.99 is active before you board — maps, ride apps, and messaging all work from the arrivals hall onward.
Data planning
Your Uzbekistan data budget explained
Social media browsing uses about 80 MB/hour. Two hours of Instagram or TikTok scrolling per day adds 160 MB. Stack that with maps and messaging and 1.5 GB per day is a fair estimate for Uzbekistan. Over 7 days you need 11GB.
20GB covers about 409 hours of live map navigation, enough for a 7-day trip with directions to every meal and museum. AT&T charges $84 for the same coverage on a local network. For heavy data users, a 1-day unlimited plan costs $3.49, still under AT&T's $12/day pass.
Connectivity
Uzbekistan hotel and cafe WiFi: what to expect
Hotel WiFi in Uzbekistan handles email and light browsing. Video calls and large downloads may lag during peak hours. An eSIM on a local network at $1.47/GB fills in when hotel WiFi is overloaded.
Plan your data
What travelers use for data in Uzbekistan
AT&T International Day Pass charges $12/day in Uzbekistan. A 10-day trip adds $120 to your bill before you download a single map. A travel eSIM on a local network covers the same 10 days for $29.49 — saving $90.51 (75%).
Uzbekistan has one mobile operator: Beeline. US carriers pay Beeline for roaming access and pass that cost to you at $12/day. An eSIM connects to Beeline directly at $1.47/GB — no carrier markup.
Airport SIM counters at Tashkent (TAS) charge $3-5 for 5-10GB / 28 days — still more than a 20GB eSIM at $29.49. WiFi in Uzbekistan is limited and unreliable in most areas. An eSIM fills the gaps at $1.47/GB instead of AT&T's $12/day roaming charge. Local prices in Uzbekistan are in UZS (сўм), but eSIM plans are priced in USD, eliminating exchange rate uncertainty on your data costs.
Quick reference
Uzbekistan Travel Essentials
101/102/103
101, 102, 103 are the emergency numbers in Uzbekistan. Different numbers may route to different services — save all of them before your trip. Emergency calls work from any mobile device, including travel eSIMs.
Type C/F
Uzbekistan uses Type C outlets (European two round-prong). US plugs require a Type C adapter. Check that your phone and laptop chargers show 100-240V input — most modern chargers are compatible.
UZT (UTC+5)
UZS (сўм)
Cards are accepted at hotels, tourist-facing shops, and chain restaurants in Uzbekistan. Local markets, small vendors, and rural businesses prefer cash. Withdraw UZS at an ATM on arrival — airport ATMs have the same rates as city ATMs.
Good to know
Power sockets in Uzbekistan are Type C/F type. US and UK plugs don't fit without an adapter. A depleted phone ends your eSIM connectivity regardless of remaining data balance.
Good to know
Uzbekistan's emergency number is 101/102/103, not 112. Both carrier roaming SIMs and eSIMs can dial emergency numbers without an active data plan.
Step by step
How to stop roaming charges on your Uzbekistan trip
- On Samsung Galaxy S21 or newer: go to Settings > Connections > SIM manager to verify eSIM support — Pixel 3a and later also qualifies — Beeline UZ covers 5G in Uzbekistan
- First-time buyer: HelloRoam offers Uzbekistan data at $3.99 for 1GB — create an account, add a payment method, and your QR code arrives in under 60 seconds. Compare eSIM providers to see your options.
- First-time eSIM install: your phone walks you through the QR scan step by step — the profile downloads in 10-30 seconds over a WiFi connection — do this before your flight to Tashkent (TAS) so it activates the moment you land
- Returning traveler shortcut: set your home carrier SIM to Data Off in the dual-SIM panel rather than navigating through roaming menus. The full data roaming guide covers all shortcuts.
- Enable the eSIM data line at Tashkent (TAS) — it connects to Beeline UZ automatically
- Leave your home SIM enabled for incoming calls: WiFi Calling routes them over the eSIM data connection at no extra cost
Data tips
Uzbekistan data management for budget travelers
Video call data usage varies by platform: FaceTime audio 30 MB/hour, FaceTime video 200 MB/hour, Zoom at 720p 540 MB/hour, Google Meet standard quality 450 MB/hour. Switch video off during work calls from Uzbekistan to drop data usage from 500 MB/hour to under 50 MB/hour.
Regional context
How Uzbekistan compares to other Asia destinations for data
A few things to know before turning off carrier roaming in Uzbekistan:
VPN usage is restricted in Uzbekistan. This applies equally to carrier roaming and eSIM connections — switching from roaming to eSIM does not change your VPN access in Uzbekistan.
Uzbekistan SIM registration: Passport required. A travel eSIM purchased abroad bypasses local SIM registration requirements at the point of sale.
Internet censorship present
Beeline UZ covers Samarkand and Bukhara tourist areas

Forgot your eSIM?
You forgot to buy an eSIM for Uzbekistan — here is what to do
Post-arrival eSIM installation in Uzbekistan works from any WiFi connection. No cellular data is required to purchase or install. Tashkent (TAS) provides free WiFi to arriving passengers in the terminal. Open your preferred provider — HelloRoam, Holafly, Nomad, Airalo, and Saily — and complete the purchase. Each one delivers the eSIM QR code by email and in-app simultaneously. If you miss the airport window, check into your hotel and use the lobby WiFi. Front desks in Uzbekistan provide the WiFi password at check-in. A 1GB plan at $3.99 gives you 1GB of Beeline UZ data from the moment you scan the QR code.
Savings math
How much you save in Uzbekistan
Solo traveler
T-Mobile's Experience plans include 5GB or 15GB of high-speed data abroad, then up to 256Kbps. More high-speed data in Uzbekistan takes International Passes from $10 a day, $50 over 10 days at the cheapest mix (10-day pass). A 20GB eSIM on a local network delivers full 5G for $29.49. The gap: $20.51 (41%). At 256Kbps the included data is usable mainly for text messages.
Family trip
Two travelers on Verizon in Uzbekistan for 10 days: 2 lines x $12/day x 10 = $240. Two 20GB eSIMs: $58.98. Savings: $181.02 for the couple. If only one person needs heavy data, one eSIM with tethering costs $29.49 total and covers both devices through the phone's hotspot feature.
AT&T roaming rate analysis
AT&T International Day Pass billing for Uzbekistan: $12 covers 24 hours from the first time your phone uses a local network. A background sync after that window closes starts the next $12 fee. AT&T bills at most 10 daily fees per line each bill cycle, and $6 for each extra line used the same day. Over 10 days the pass costs $120. A 20GB eSIM at $29.49 uses data-bucket billing, which charges for data bought, not for days used.
All-carrier summary
AT&T: AT&T International Day Pass costs 307% more than an eSIM for Uzbekistan.
Verizon: Verizon TravelPass costs 307% more than an eSIM for Uzbekistan.
T-Mobile: T-Mobile's International Passes cost 70% more than an eSIM for Uzbekistan.
The savings math for Uzbekistan is clear. Solo: $90.51 saved vs AT&T for 10 days. Family of four: $182.04 saved. Annual (2 trips): $181.02 saved. All figures use the same local 5G network. The eSIM costs less at every trip length and every group size.
Quick answers
Common questions about Uzbekistan data costs
Is eSIM cheaper than roaming in Uzbekistan?
Yes, an eSIM is 75% cheaper than carrier roaming in Uzbekistan. AT&T charges $120 for a 10-day trip at $12/day. A travel eSIM on a local 5G network costs $29.49 for 20GB. Both use the same cell towers. The eSIM saves $90.51 on identical infrastructure. Rates checked June 2026.

Does T-Mobile work in Uzbekistan?
T-Mobile works in Uzbekistan on its included allowance: Experience More plan includes 5GB of high-speed data abroad and Experience Beyond 15GB, then data runs at up to 256Kbps. Essentials includes texting but no data. For 10 days of high-speed data, the cheapest pass mix is $50 (10-day pass). A Beeline UZ eSIM delivers full 5G speed for $29.49. Rates checked June 2026.
AT&T fine print for Uzbekistan
$12 covers 24 hours from the first time your phone uses a foreign network, and a single background push notification at 2 AM can start it. AT&T bills at most 10 daily fees per line each bill cycle (terms read 31 Oct 2026).
iCloud Photos, email push, app updates all trigger the daily charge. A phone left in a bag with data roaming on starts a new $12 fee each time a sync lands after the last 24 hours ran out.
Uzbekistan FAQ
Uzbekistan eSIM & roaming questions
Uzbekistan carrier roaming costs $12 a day on AT&T and on Verizon
AT&T charges $12/day on International Day Pass for Uzbekistan. Verizon charges $12/day on TravelPass. T-Mobile's Experience More and Experience Beyond plans include 5GB and 15GB of high-speed data abroad, then at a reduced speed, and Essentials includes texting only. Land without a plan and AT&T bills $2.05/MB, so a single gigabyte costs $2,099. Five travel eSIM providers sell Uzbekistan data against those rates: HelloRoam, Holafly, Nomad, Airalo, and Saily. Fixed plans start at $3.99 for 1GB on a local 5G network. HelloRoam posts the lowest fixed rate in the group, $2.01/GB on the median 5 GB plan across 40 countries, against $2.30 on Nomad. HelloRoam's 7-day unlimited plan has the lowest median of the five at $21.50 across 35 countries, against $27.50 on Holafly. Carrier rates checked June 2026; eSIM prices from the 30 Oct 2026 price check.
T-Mobile's included data in Uzbekistan runs at high speed until the allowance ends
For light use, yes. T-Mobile's Experience More plan includes 5GB of high-speed data abroad and Experience Beyond 15GB, then data runs at up to 256Kbps. Essentials includes texting but no data. Even at 256Kbps you stay reachable on WhatsApp and iMessage text in Uzbekistan, which is more than AT&T gives you without a pass. Fixed-data eSIM plans across HelloRoam, Holafly, Nomad, Airalo, and Saily run full 5G on a local network from $1.47/GB, with no daily activation trigger. Carrier rates checked June 2026; eSIM prices from the 30 Oct 2026 price check.
Uzbekistan roaming bills by the day, not by the gigabyte
A traveler lands in Uzbekistan, checks one notification, and AT&T bills $12 for the next 24 hours. That is per-day billing: any cellular connection, including a background sync, starts the full 24-hour charge. Without a day pass the rate is $2.05/MB, so a 20 MB burst of photo syncing costs $41. An eSIM is a fixed cost at 1GB for $3.99, with no per-day trigger and no per-MB meter. HelloRoam's unlimited plan removes the meter a different way, at a 7-day median of $21.50 against $27.50 on Holafly. Carrier rates checked June 2026; eSIM prices from the 30 Oct 2026 price check.
A week of Uzbekistan data, priced across the five eSIM providers
A week of unlimited data is the like-for-like price. The median 7-day unlimited plan across the 35 countries where all five were priced costs $21.50 on HelloRoam, $25 on Nomad, $26.99 on Saily, $27 on Airalo, $27.50 on Holafly. The plans differ in full-speed data: HelloRoam's plan runs at full speed for 2 GB a day in 33 of those 35 countries, while Airalo's holds 3 GB in most and Holafly states no daily cap. AT&T bills $84 for the same week in Uzbekistan at $12 a day, $62.50 more than the HelloRoam median. Carrier rates checked June 2026; eSIM prices from the 30 Oct 2026 price check.
A one-month stay in Uzbekistan suits a data bucket over a day pass
For a 30-day trip at 1.5 GB/day average, total usage runs 45 GB. AT&T International Day Pass: $12/day, $120 for the month. T-Mobile International Pass: $10/day, $75. A travel eSIM on Beeline UZ at $1.47/GB for 45 GB costs roughly $66.15. For stays over 2 weeks, also consider a local SIM purchased in Uzbekistan — local prepaid cards often run $10-25 for 20-50 GB at full local speeds with no international markup. Rates checked June 2026.
The three US carriers price Uzbekistan roaming on different terms
None of the three US carriers offer a genuinely good deal in Uzbekistan. AT&T: $12/day. Verizon: $12/day. T-Mobile: 5GB or 15GB of high-speed data included on its Experience plans, then up to 256Kbps, or $10 for a 1 Day pass. A travel eSIM on Beeline UZ starts at $1.47/GB — a 7-day trip at average usage costs $15.44 versus $84 for AT&T. No carrier matches the eSIM on per-GB cost.
VPN access in Uzbekistan works the same on an eSIM as on roaming
VPN access in Uzbekistan is restricted, and the product you buy does not change that. Check local law before you connect. Carrier roaming and travel eSIMs both terminate on a local network, so both meet the same local filtering. Routing does differ between providers and results differ with it, but none of the five sells guaranteed access and we will not claim one does. Saily is the only provider here that bundles a VPN, which saves a separate subscription and carries no promise it works where access is restricted. Install and sign in to whatever VPN you plan to use before you fly, because the download itself may be blocked once you land.
Local Uzbekistan apps run on a travel eSIM without a local SIM
Most local apps in Uzbekistan — ride-hailing, food delivery, transit — do not require a local SIM number to function. They require only a data connection, which a travel eSIM provides at $1.47/GB on a local 5G network. Some banking and two-factor authentication apps require a local phone number for SMS verification. For those cases, keep your home SIM active alongside the eSIM — your home number handles SMS while the eSIM handles data.
One eSIM can cover a multi-country Asia route including Uzbekistan
Multi-country Asia eSIM plans exist and cover many combinations — Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and others in a single data bucket. AT&T and Verizon charge $12/day in each country separately, so a 3-country trip at 3 days each costs $108. A regional Asia eSIM for the same 9 days runs $15-$40 total. Check plan coverage maps — Uzbekistan may be included in a regional plan, or you may need a Uzbekistan-specific plan plus a regional one.
A week of Uzbekistan carrier roaming costs $84
AT&T: $84/week (International Day Pass at $12/day). Verizon: $84/week (TravelPass). T-Mobile: 5GB or 15GB of high-speed data included on its Experience plans, then up to 256Kbps, or $50 for a week of passes (10-day pass). The cheapest eSIM for Uzbekistan starts at $1.47/GB on a local 5G network — better per-GB value than all three carriers.
Fact check
What carriers say vs. what your bill shows in Uzbekistan
EU roaming is free for Americans
EU roaming-within-the-EU rules apply only to SIM cards issued by EU-based carriers. AT&T and Verizon are US carriers — they charge full international day pass rates in every EU country. AT&T's International Day Pass runs $12/day in EU destinations. Verizon TravelPass is $12/day. A travel eSIM on a local network covers Uzbekistan for $3.99 total. Rates checked June 2026.
You need to unlock your phone to use an eSIM
eSIM installation does not require an unlocked phone in most cases. iPhones sold in the US since iPhone 14 are sold unlocked by law. iPhones XS through 13 require unlocking to add a foreign carrier eSIM, but AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile all offer free unlocking after your contract ends. Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer models support eSIM on both locked and unlocked variants. Check your carrier's unlock policy before your trip to Uzbekistan.
Roaming charges only apply to data
US carrier international plans charge separately for data, calls, and texts. AT&T's International Day Pass at $12/day includes data but charges $0.25–$1.50/minute for calls beyond the bundled allocation. Incoming voicemail retrieval can trigger per-minute roaming charges even when you make no outgoing calls. A data-only eSIM in Uzbekistan at $3.99 covers data and uses WhatsApp or FaceTime for voice at no additional carrier cost. Rates checked June 2026.
Our recommendation
eSIM vs roaming in Uzbekistan: the price gap
For heavy data users in Uzbekistan: HelloRoam covers Uzbekistan on a local network and scores 9.9/10 on our rubric, the highest of the 5 providers we price. A 1GB plan costs $3.99. Unactivated plans are refundable for 180 days, and its support replies in your own language. Saily is the alternative if privacy matters most: VPN usage is restricted in Uzbekistan, and Saily includes NordVPN-grade encryption on every plan.
