Baku eSIM
29 Azerbaijan plans · from $5.62
Baku puts a walled medieval core, three flame-shaped towers and a Caspian promenade within a few minutes of each other, with mud volcanoes and 40,000-year-old petroglyphs an hour down the coast. A travel eSIM covers the city and the mountain regions north, and Azerbaijan is well outside any roaming bundle you might already have.
Landing at Heydar Aliyev International (GYD)
The airport is 20km north-east, about 30 minutes by the Aeroexpress bus or a taxi. Azerbaijan requires an eVisa for most visitors — arrange it before you fly, as it is not issued on arrival for everyone.

How “Unlimited” works: Never cut off — each plan gives a set amount of full-speed data, then a slower speed. The exact allowance and speed are shown on every plan.Read more
Unlimited plans never run out and your eSIM is never disconnected, but every one has a fair-use limit: a set amount of full-speed data, after which the speed is reduced. The amounts differ between plans — most give a daily full-speed allowance that refills every 24 hours from when you first activate the eSIM, while Premium plans give a larger allowance for the whole plan instead. Each plan states its own allowance and the speed after it before you buy. At the reduced speed, messaging, maps, email and light browsing still work; video streaming and video calls may not. If you want every gigabyte at full speed, choose a fixed-GB plan.
Which networks you'll be on in Baku
Siima eSIMs for Azerbaijan ride Azercell, Bakcell and Nar. Coverage is strong across Baku and the Absheron peninsula, and good along the main highways north and west.
Coverage around Baku
Icherisheher and the boulevard
Strong signal across the walled old city, the Maiden Tower and the full length of the Caspian seafront promenade.
Flame Towers and the funicular
The hillside above the city, the Highland Park viewpoint and the funicular are all covered.
Gobustan and the mud volcanoes
The petroglyph reserve and the museum have coverage; the mud volcano field beyond it is on a rough track where signal thins.
Sheki, Gabala and the Caucasus
The mountain towns and the main roads north-west are covered. Higher valleys and border districts have restrictions and gaps — some regions require permits, so check before driving.
How much data you need
A week in Azerbaijan is 2–4 GB. Translation apps carry more weight here than in most destinations — signage outside Baku is largely Azerbaijani and Russian.
