eSIM Travel Tips for Mongolia
Set up your eSIM before you leave home
Download your HelloRoam eSIM profile at home before flying to Mongolia. Enable mobile data when you land at Chinggis Khaan International Airport in Ulaanbaatar and you are connected immediately. No SIM card purchase needed.
Download offline maps for the steppe and Gobi
Mongolia's vast open landscapes have almost no mobile coverage away from towns. Download comprehensive offline maps for your entire Mongolia travel plan before leaving Ulaanbaatar. Maps.me has excellent coverage of Mongolia's roads and trails.
Conserve data for when you have coverage
Use Ulaanbaatar time to update maps, download guides, and sync your data. On the steppe or in Gobi camps, there is no coverage. The HelloRoam app shows your balance so you can use data wisely in towns.
Keep your home SIM active
On a dual SIM phone, keep your home SIM for calls and texts. Set your HelloRoam eSIM as the default data line in Mongolia. You stay reachable on your regular number when you are in Ulaanbaatar.
Save emergency numbers before you go
Mongolia's emergency number is 102 (police), 103 (ambulance), and 101 (fire). Save them before your trip. Emergency calls work on any available network.
Mobile networks in Mongolia: what you need to know
Mongolia's four main carriers are MobiCom, Unitel, Skytel, and G-Mobile. Coverage is reliable in Ulaanbaatar and along the main Trans-Mongolian highway route. The Gobi Desert, steppe areas, and distant national parks like Khuvsgul and Khentii have limited or no coverage. Your HelloRoam eSIM connects to Mobicom on 4G, so your signal at each stop depends on that network's coverage.

HelloRoam eSIM vs local SIM vs carrier rates in Mongolia

Best time to visit Mongolia
Mongolia is best visited from June to September during the summer season when temperatures are mild and steppe travel is possible.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
