Using mobile data in Afghanistan
Your eSIM connects to a local network in Afghanistan, so maps, messages, rides, and translation work like they do at home. Data roaming must be switched on for the eSIM line. That is normal for travel eSIMs and it does not cost extra.
Networks in most of Asia are fast and data is cheap by global standards. An eSIM saves you the airport SIM counter line after a long flight.
Mobile networks in Afghanistan
eSIM plans for Afghanistan connect through Roshan. Service is 4G LTE. Speeds are fine for maps, messaging, and video calls.
Roshan is one of Afghanistan's long-standing operators and has a wide footprint by local standards. The plans here run on 4G LTE, which is enough for maps, messaging, and email. Coverage is strongest in and around Kabul and other main towns, and it thins out fast once you leave paved roads and populated valleys.

What to expect from coverage
Signal follows the cities and the main highways. In mountain districts and remote provinces you should plan for stretches with no data at all.
Download offline maps for your route before you go. That way navigation still works when the signal drops in the passes.
Picking a data size
A small plan covers messaging, maps, and the odd photo upload for a short trip. Video and heavy uploads use far more, so size up if you plan to stream.
This is a data-only eSIM with no local phone number. Apps that verify by SMS may need your home number, so keep it reachable on the other line.
