Belarus: Best Tourist eSIMs Reviewed (2024)

Are you planning to visit Belarus soon and looking for the best travel eSIM to stay connected while exploring the country?

There are many eSIM providers (re)selling plans and packages for Belarus, but not all are equal.

Some offer unlimited data, while others include a phone number for local, regional, or global use.

Some have blazing-fast speeds, while others have extended validity.

Whatever you need, there will be an eSIM for your liking.

In the case of Belarus, I recommend one of these eSIM providers, which I have tested in numerous countries on multiple continents:

• Airalo
• Alosim
• Holafly

What do these eSIM providers offer?

eSIM	Packages	Prices	Data	Phone Number?	5G NR?	Discount Code(s)
Airalo	4	8 USD – 33 USD	1 GB for 7 days – 5 GB for 30 days	No	No	APR10 (10%) & APR15 (15%) 2
Alosim	4	8.50 USD – 24 USD	1 GB for 7 days – 5 GB for 30 days	Yes (CA/US number) 1	No	PTW (5%)
Holafly	1	44 USD	6 GB for 15 days	No	No	PHONETRAVELWIZ (5%)

¹ Alosim allows you to pick a Canadian (CA) or American (US) phone number through its sister app Hushed, giving you credits worth 30 minutes (within Belarus or from Belarus to anywhere else) or 50 texts (same conditions as calling)
² if you have never purchased an Airalo eSIM, use code APR15 for 15% off. You can still get 10% off using code APR10 if you are an existing customer. Note each code has a redemption limit of 3000 (while the codes of Alosim and Holafly have no redemption limit)

What about eSIMs for world travelers who want to install one eSIM only – do global eSIMs exist?

Yes, they do!

eSIM	Global eSIMs?	Countries	Phone Number?
Airalo	Yes (Discover(+))	120+	Yes (Discover+ only)
Alosim	No	N/A	N/A
Holafly	No	N/A	N/A
Nomad	Yes (Global 109/136)	109 & 136	No

Of course, the discount codes mentioned earlier can also be redeemed for the regional and global eSIMs when applicable.

Now that we have an overview of what our options are, let's go through each and find out about the benefits of them.

Each section will focus on the respective eSIM provider's Belarus and global eSIM variants.

Airalo Belarus eSIM

Airalo has only one eSIM that can be used in Belarus: Norach Telecom.

Below is a quick overview:

eSIM	Coverage	Packages	Prices	Data	5G NR in Belarus?
Norach Telecom	Belarus only	4	8 USD – 33 USD	1 GB for 7 days – 5 GB for 30 days	No

Remember to use code APR15 for 15% off if you have never purchased an Airalo eSIM before OR code APR10 for 10% off if you are an existing Airalo user (valid until the 31^st of March – only the first 3000 users can redeem either discount code).

Airalo was the first eSIM store launched in 2019 when barely any phone supported eSIMs.

Now, it is the largest eSIM provider and covers more than 200 countries and territories (some being “duplicates”).

Airalo was the first eSIM I ever installed on my dad's phone (I did not have an eSIM-compatible device back then 🗿).

And it is also the the provider I have tested in the most countries so far (compared to other eSIMs).

Anyway, Airalo has a thing for giving each country's eSIM a unique name (which I love).

Airalo Norach Telecom (Belarus) eSIM

For Belarus, it is Norach Telecom.

As highlighted earlier, there are four Norach Telecom eSIMs to choose from, which are shown below:

1. Belarus/Norach Telecom 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 8 USD
2. Belarus/Norach Telecom 2 GB eSIM for 15 days, costing 15 USD
3. Belarus/Norach Telecom 3 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 21.50 USD
4. Belarus/Norach Telecom 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 33 USD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in December based on data up to the 30^th of December (2023 data only). The (promotional) prices were updated on the 8^th of March.

The Airalo Norach Telecom eSIM gives you access to one Belarusian mobile network: A1 Belarus network.

In my Belarus SIM card buying guide, I tell you more about which Belarusian mobile operator is/are the best in coverage or speed so you can manually select the network that would suit your needs.

Alosim Belarus eSIM

Alosim has only one eSIM that can be used in Belarus: Belarus.

Below is a quick overview:

eSIM	Coverage	Packages	Prices	5G NR in Belarus?	Phone Number?
Belarus	Belarus only	4	8.50 USD – 24 USD	No	Yes

Remember that you can use code PTW for 5% off any Alosim purchase (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want).

Alosim is an eSIM provider by AffinityClick, which is known for its Hushed app (“Temporary & Second Phone Number App for Wifi, Data Calling & Texting”, as it calls it (8 million+ downloads)).

It took some time and effort (from my end), but Alosim finally agreed to bundle its products.

What do I mean by that?

With any Alosim eSIM purchase, even country-specific ones with just 1 GB of data or a regional one with 10 GB of data, you will get a Hushed redemption code, giving you up to 30 international minutes or 50 international SMS.

AffinityClick offers American (+1), British (+44) & Canadian (+1) phone numbers from over 300 area codes (but only +1 phone numbers are part of this combo deal).

While it is looking to expand its offering in terms of phone numbers, you cannot get a Belarusian phone number at this point due to local regulations.

However, this makes Alosim the only eSIM provider I know of that gives you a phone number for each eSIM purchase.

Additionally, you do not have to switch back to your base SIM card in case you need to make international calls (and will save a lot on international call costs, which are often overly expensive).

Anyway, let's talk about Alosim's eSIM offering.

It has eSIMs for over 170 countries, including Belarus.

Alosim Belarus eSIM

For Belarus, you have the following four choices:

1. Belarus 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 8.50 USD
2. Belarus 2 GB eSIM for 15 days, costing 15 USD
3. Belarus 3 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 17.50 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
4. Belarus 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 24 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in December based on data up to the 30^th of December (2023 data only). The (promotional) prices were updated on the 8^th of March.

Alosim's Belarus eSIM gives you access to the A1 Belarus network.

Unfortunately, none of them offer 5G NR access at this point in time.

For more information on how Belarusian operator perform, check out my Belarus SIM card buying guide, where I discuss the performance of each SIM card (in terms of coverage and speed).

Below is a quick overview:

Belarus	Belarus only	1	44 USD	No	No

Remember that you can use code PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off any Holafly purchase (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want).

Holafly is probably the eSIM provider with the most extensive coverage in terms of unlimited data eSIMs.

Yes, Holafly has unlimited data eSIMs for Belarus and most countries it supports, which is over 160 countries.

Of which about 100 have unlimited data eSIMs.

One thing that you should note already, and I will repeat it later, is that the prices of the Belarus eSIM and the Europe eSIM are exactly the same.

So, if you plan on visiting multiple supported countries during your trip (the list will be provided later), you should get the Europe eSIM instead of the Belarus one + another country-specific one to save a lot of money.

Holafly Belarus eSIM

But I got ahead of myself – you have only one variant for Belarus:

1. Belarus 6 GB eSIM for 15 days, costing 44 USD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in December based on data up to the 30^th of December (2023 data only). The (promotional) prices were updated on the 8^th of March.

I will tell you already: Holafly's Belarus eSIM are the most expensive ones mentioned in this guide.

Speaking of networks, you can be on A1 Belarus or Mobile TeleSystems Belarus.

However, Nomad's eSIM has better coverage (up to 135+ instead of 120+).

And do not forget to use one of these discount codes for extra savings:
