Most modern phones do, but you must check our specific list here: eSIM Compatible Devices to be 100% sure before purchasing. 

 Generally, no. For short tourist visits (usually up to 30 days), you do not need to register your device's IMEI. However, if you plan to stay in Azerbaijan longer than 30 days, local regulations require you to register your phone to prevent it from being blocked. Our eSIM is perfect for short-term travel without this hassle. 

 Yes, absolutely. Bolt and Uber are the most popular ways to get around Baku safely and cheaply. You will need a stable data connection to book rides, track your driver in real-time, and pay via the app, as many drivers prefer digital payments over cash. 

 Yes. Our eSIM connects to premium local networks that provide strong 4G/LTE coverage not just in Baku, but also in popular mountain resort areas like Shahdag (Gusar) and Tufandag (Gabala), allowing you to share your skiing photos instantly. 

 Yes. During major events like the F1 Baku City Circuit, networks can get crowded, but our eSIM prioritizes stable connectivity. You can check live race updates, maps, and share videos from the stands without interruption. 

Yes, 100%. Buying a physical local SIM card (like Azercell or Bakcell) at Heydar Aliyev (GYD) Airport requires you to find the kiosk, wait in a long line, and go through a mandatory passport registration process. Our eSIM is 100% digital, requires no ID registration, and can be installed before you fly, so you are connected the moment you land (and can activate your VPN). 

Yes, in the cities. Our eSIM connects to premium local networks (like Azercell) that provide strong 4G/LTE coverage not just in the capital Baku, but also in the main tourist cities of Ganja and Sheki, and on the main highways. You may lose signal in the remote Caucasus Mountains, but you will be connected in all populated areas. 

This is a critical point. The government in Azerbaijan does frequently block or throttle social media and VoIP calls (WhatsApp calls, FaceTime, Skype) during political events. While text messaging usually works, you cannot rely on making clear voice or video calls. We strongly recommend you install a reliable VPN before you arrive to bypass these restrictions. 

 This specific plan is valid only within Azerbaijan. This is the most important question for "Caucasus Tour" travelers. If you take the train from Baku to Tbilisi (Georgia) or cross the border to Iran, your connection will stop. For a seamless multi-country trip, we highly recommend our Regional eSIM (e.g., "Caucasus" plan) which covers both Azerbaijan and Georgia.
