Afghanistan's mobile network landscape includes operators Roshan, MTN/AWCC, Etisalat, and Salaam, which support 3G and 4G/LTE technologies primarily on the 1800 MHz and 900 MHz bands. A travel eSIM will connect to these networks on compatible phones, though coverage outside major towns including the capital Kabul is sparse and should be verified in advance.
Connectivity options in Afghanistan are limited, and roaming charges are typically expensive. Local eSIM availability is currently being verified. Given these constraints, a regional or global travel eSIM may be the most practical choice for visitors, though coverage reliability outside main urban areas remains uncertain and advance confirmation is recommended before depending on mobile connectivity.

This country's connectivity row is currently low-confidence (small / island / single-operator / fast-changing market), so treat the carrier, band and 5G details as a starting point we are still verifying.
