Get Your Pakistan eSIM on WhatsAppGleeSim connects you to Pakistan's local 4G networks
Buying a local SIM in Pakistan means a franchise visit, biometric checks and, for a phone bought abroad, PTA registration or a blocked handset after the grace period. A GleeSim eSIM skips all of that and costs less than one day of roaming.
Travel eSIMs work on roaming, and PTA says phones on international roaming work without registration. Your iPhone or Samsung from abroad stays unblocked and you pay no PTA tax.
Plans start at $2.01 for 2GB over 15 days. Most home networks charge more than that for a single day of roaming in Pakistan.
Staying a month for a shaadi or with family? The 20GB, 30 Days plan covers video calls, photos and maps for $20.15.
Crossing to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib? The Kartarpur Corridor 5GB, 30 Days plan keeps your group in touch on the Pakistan side.
GleeSim runs as a second data line. Your UK, Gulf or US SIM stays in the phone, so your WhatsApp number and bank codes keep working.
Staying longer than planned? Send one message and we add data to the same eSIM. No franchise, no new SIM, no biometric check.
Pakistan plans start at $2.01. Two-country plans cover Pakistan with the UAE or Turkey, and GlobaleSIM plans cover Pakistan and 44 other countries. Use code GLEE10 when you order on WhatsApp for an extra 10% off.

Answers to the questions overseas Pakistanis and travellers ask us most.
No. PTA registration applies to phones used with a local Pakistani SIM. A GleeSim eSIM works on international roaming, and PTA says phones on international roaming work without registration. Your phone won't be blocked and you don't pay PTA tax.
For a short trip of up to two weeks, the Pakistan 2GB, 15 Days plan at $2.01 is enough for messages and maps. For a month with family or a wedding, choose the Pakistan 20GB, 30 Days plan for daily video calls. Staying for the winter? The Pakistan 20GB, 90 Days plan lasts three months.
Yes, by a wide margin. Most UK, Gulf and US networks charge more for one day of roaming in Pakistan than our 2GB, 15 Days plan costs for the whole two weeks. With the eSIM you pay once and know the price before you fly.
A local SIM is cheap, but you visit a franchise, give your fingerprints and show your passport or CNIC. If your phone was bought abroad, it can be blocked after the grace period unless you register it with PTA and pay the tax. The eSIM avoids all of this.
Yes. All three airports have strong 4G. If you installed your eSIM at home, it connects as soon as you turn on Data Roaming after landing, so you can message family waiting outside arrivals.
Yes. The Kartarpur Corridor 5GB, 30 Days plan covers pilgrims visiting Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur, Narowal. It works on the Pakistan side of the corridor, where Jazz and Zong have good 4G.
Yes. WhatsApp messages and voice and video calls work normally in Pakistan on mobile data. Call quality depends on your signal, so calls are clearest in cities and weaker in the northern areas.
Yes. You order on WhatsApp and we send the QR code to you. You can install it on their phones before they fly, or we talk them through it on WhatsApp.
In Gilgit, Hunza and Skardu towns you usually get a signal, mainly on Zong and SCOM. On treks, at Fairy Meadows and on parts of the Karakoram Highway the signal is weak or missing. Download offline maps before you travel north.
Yes. The UAE and Pakistan 30GB, 30 Days plan works in both countries on one QR code, which suits families travelling between Dubai and Pakistan. We also have a Turkey and Pakistan 10GB, 60 Days plan.
Any eSIM-capable phone that is not locked to one network works. That includes iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and most recent flagship Android phones. Look for an Add eSIM option in your mobile data settings.
No. The GleeSim Pakistan eSIM is data only and does not include a +92 number for normal calls or SMS. Your home number stays active on your main SIM, and you can call family and drivers over WhatsApp.
Send us a WhatsApp message and we add more data to the same eSIM within minutes. You don't need a new QR code or a franchise visit.
Flying via the Gulf, adding Umrah or Ziyarah, or stopping in Istanbul? GleeSim covers these destinations with the same WhatsApp setup.
