Airalo

Name: Airalo
Brand: Airalo

Airalo sells eSIM data packages for Pakistan that you install on your phone before the trip, so you have mobile internet on Zong from the moment you land without registering a local SIM card.

What it helps with

Mobile internet on arrival in PakistanThe eSIM is installed before the flight and connects to Zong after landing in Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad, with no SIM shop visit.
No SIM registration with biometricsThe plan is bought online with a foreign card, so there is no need to register a local SIM with your passport and fingerprints.
Unlimited data for maps and ride appsAll Pakistan packages are unlimited, from 3 to 30 days, so Careem, Google Maps and video calls do not eat into a data cap.
