Uzbekistan's cheapest verified eSIM rate is $1.575 a gigabyte, and the ladder stops at 20 GB

One seller, sixteen prices, one date

We hold plan data for exactly one eSIM provider in Uzbekistan: Airalo. Sixteen plans — eleven metered, five unlimited — all sixteen verified, read off airalo.com on 17 August 2026. Saily, Holafly, Nomad, eSIMCard and eSIM Go also sell travel eSIMs, and none of them has been priced here yet. That is a hole in our coverage rather than a judgement on theirs.

Airalo lists its Uzbek plans under the name Uzbeknet. That is Airalo's own retail product label, not a carrier — it brands its plans that way in every country it sells in. Airalo publishes no host network for Uzbekistan, and publishes none anywhere else either, so which Uzbek operator carries the traffic is not something we can tell you.

The metered ladder

The ladder starts at 1 GB and stops at 20 GB. Nothing larger is sold, and that is the fact that sets the floor.

Uzbekistan sits between two very different price bands

Five neighbouring markets were read on the same day, and they split sharply. Georgia and Ukraine both sell a 50 GB plan for $49 and both floor at $0.98 a gigabyte. Armenia and Azerbaijan sell nothing above 20 GB and both floor at $2.40. Uzbekistan is the one in between, at $1.575 — and the reason is that it has the short ladder of the second pair with prices much closer to the first.

Look at what 20 GB costs across the group. Ukraine charges $27 for 20 GB over 30 days, Uzbekistan $33, Georgia $36.50, and Armenia and Azerbaijan $49 each. At 10 GB over seven days it is $17, $20, $27, $38 and $34 respectively. Uzbekistan is the second cheapest of the five at nearly every size it sells. It only lands mid-table on the headline rate because it has no 50 GB rung to bring the rate down.

One comparison makes the point: the $2.40 a gigabyte Uzbekistan charges for its 5 GB plan is the best rate Armenia or Azerbaijan can offer at any size.

The unlimited plans are Ukraine's, minus the longest one

Airalo lists five unlimited plans here, priced by duration rather than data: $12.50 for 3 days, $20.50 for 5, $29.50 for 7, $35 for 10 and $49 for 15.

Those five prices are identical, to the cent, to the five equivalent durations in Ukraine. The difference is at the end of the list: Ukraine also sells a 30-day unlimited plan and Uzbekistan does not. So a month-long stay here cannot be covered by one unlimited plan at all — the longest is 15 days.

Within the Uzbek list, two prices collide exactly with metered ones:

• The 3-day unlimited is $12.50, the same price as 5 GB over 15 days.
• The 5-day unlimited is $20.50, the same price as 10 GB over 15 days.

In both cases you are choosing shape rather than value: a short window with no data ceiling, or a fortnight with a firm one, for identical money. Heavy use over two or three days favours the unlimited plan; spread-out use favours the metered one.

Above that, the metered ladder wins clearly. The 15-day unlimited is $49 against $31.50 for 20 GB over the same fifteen days, a premium of more than half again.

The 30-day step costs more than it looks

One small thing worth flagging: moving a 20 GB plan from 15 days to 30 costs $1.50 here, as $31.50 becomes $33. That is a larger step than Ukraine, Armenia or Azerbaijan charge for the same extra fortnight, where it runs between 50 cents and a dollar. (Georgia's two 20 GB rows run the other way round, which we have flagged there as a suspected error.) It is small in absolute terms, but if your dates are firm the 15-day plan is the cheaper rate.

It is also the country's floor: $31.50 for 20 GB is $1.575 a gigabyte, and no other row we hold for Uzbekistan gets below $1.65.

Which plan to buy

• A short stop. 3 GB over three days at $8, or the 3-day unlimited at $12.50.
• A week. 10 GB over seven days at $20, at $2 a gigabyte. The 15-day version is 50 cents more.
• A fortnight. 20 GB over 15 days at $31.50 — the cheapest rate available anywhere in this market.
• A month. 20 GB over 30 days at $33. There is nothing larger and no 30-day unlimited plan, so a heavy month means buying twice.

For scale, across the rest of the site

$1.575 is not a bad rate by the standards of the 94 countries we hold. The cheapest verified rate anywhere is $0.55 a gigabyte in Thailand, with Austria at $0.58 and Belgium at $0.65. At the other end, the dearest markets we hold are Kenya at $4.60 and Nigeria and Fiji at $4.70 — countries whose ladders stop at 10 GB rather than 20 GB, which is the same mechanism one rung further down.

What this page does not tell you

We hold no local SIM data for Uzbekistan at all: no airport counter prices, no shop advice, no registration rules, no operator names. We have not researched it, so this page says nothing rather than guessing.

We also hold nothing for the other five eSIM sellers here. If one of them beats $1.575 a gigabyte in Uzbekistan we would not know, and neither would a page that lists all six with figures nobody read. That distinction is the whole of how we test. Our Airalo page covers what the company is like to buy from across every country we hold, and the cheapest eSIM plans puts Uzbekistan's $1.575 next to every other rate on the site.
