Using a travel eSIM trumps roaming in Mongolia - here’s a quick rundown:
Significant Savings: Pay local Mongolia rates instead of exorbitant roaming prices set by your home carrier.
Convenient Switching: No swapping SIM cards - manage everything digitally from your phone settings.
Usage Clarity: Get real-time updates on data consumption, so you never get billed for data you didn’t need.
Yes - ZenSim’s eSIMs work in 200+ countries, and Mongolia is included. For travellers needing multiple-country access, we offer regional eSIMs. You can find those on our Travel eSIMs page.
No - our Mongolia travel eSIMs are data - only, so they don’t come with a voice line or phone number. Any calls or texts must go through internet apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, or Viber.
After activation in Mongolia, your eSIM won’t usually work elsewhere. Each country typically needs its own eSIM unless you're using a regional one.
To make travel easier, try one of our regional Travel eSIMs - they work across entire continents.
Your eSIM will activate automatically once you step off the plane in Mongolia. We do suggest installing your Mongolia Travel eSIM before departure (installation ≠ activation).
Installation is a breeze: scan the QR code provided or install via the ZenSim app over WiFi. Upon landing, the eSIM will activate itself.
Encountering issues? Visit our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us 😊
Of course. You can install your Mongolia eSIM up to 30 days before departure. Once you arrive, it will activate automatically.
Installing early won’t use any data or start your plan until you arrive in Mongolia.
If your iPhone shows an activation error during pre-install, you can ignore often it - refer to our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for help.
Your Mongolia travel eSIM kicks in as soon as you arrive in Mongolia - provided it was installed beforehand.
If you install it after you land, it should start working right away.
If you run into trouble, see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or get in touch with us.
Yes, you can. Around 99 percent of our eSIMs allow quick and easy top ups through the ZenSim app. You can add more data, increase the days, or even include a different destination on the same eSIM right from the Zen Garden.
Open the app, go to the Zen Garden area, and you’ll see the top up button waiting for you.
Top up pricing: Mongolia top up plans follow the same pricing as on the website, minus a 10% discount.
Travelling for a while: If your trip lasts more than 30 days, you can queue multiple top ups. None of them will interrupt your current plan because each one only activates when the previous eSIM expires.
Travelling to more destinations: Most eSIMs let you attach extra countries via a top up. For example, if you're heading home from Europe and stopping in Singapore, you can add Singapore to your Europe eSIM and it will switch on once you arrive.
Yep, you can, can you should! For every friend or family member you refer to purchase a Mongolia eSIM, you will earn a A$5 voucher to use on your next purchase AND they will save A$5 on their purchase.
All you have to do is share your unique referral URL with them, which you can access after purchase, and if they click it and purchase the savings are automatic.
You can monitor your referrals and find your personal referral URL directly in the ZenSim app. Read our terms for full details.
Data and plan days only kick in when you arrive in Mongolia. Installing earlier just prepares it for activation which happens automatically when you arrive in Mongolia.
Install over WiFi before your trip to get connected from the minute you touch down.
If you have trouble connecting, see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or message us for assistance.
No, the Mongolia travel eSIM is data - only. It won’t give you a cellular voice line. If you want to call, just fire up WhatsApp, Telegram, or FaceTime using your data allowance.

Top 3 things to do in Mongolia
Experience Nomadic Life in the Mongolian Steppe
Mongolia is one of the last places on Earth where nomadic culture thrives, and visiting a traditional ger (yurt) camp is the best way to experience it. Travellers can stay with a local family, helping with herding livestock, milking yaks, and making traditional dairy products like airag (fermented mare’s milk). The vast, open Mongolian steppe stretches as far as the eye can see, offering an unforgettable sense of freedom. Whether you're riding horses across the plains or sitting by a fire under a star-filled sky, this experience will connect you with Mongolia’s ancient way of life.
Explore the Breathtaking Gobi Desert
The Gobi Desert is one of Mongolia’s most spectacular landscapes, home to towering sand dunes, rugged mountains, and fascinating wildlife. A must-visit is the Khongoryn Els dunes, also known as the ‘Singing Dunes’, where the wind creates eerie musical sounds as it moves the sand. You can ride Bactrian camels, visit the Flaming Cliffs (Bayanzag)-a famous site for dinosaur fossils-or camp under the vast desert sky. The Gobi’s dramatic landscapes and extreme beauty make it an unmissable destination for adventurers and nature lovers alike.
Visit the Hustai National Park and See Wild Horses
Hustai National Park is one of the few places in the world where you can see the Przewalski’s horse, the last truly wild horse species. These horses were once extinct in the wild but have been successfully reintroduced to Mongolia. The park also offers excellent hiking, wildlife spotting, and panoramic mountain views. Visitors may see red deer, marmots, and golden eagles while exploring this pristine landscape. Located just a few hours from Ulaanbaatar, Hustai National Park is a great place to experience Mongolia’s wilderness and conservation efforts.
