The QR code arrives by email Right after payment, together with a link to the order page. That page keeps
the same QR and the manual install code, so a lost email costs nothing.
QR code valid for a year, price locked at checkout Buy now, install the day before you fly — the paid days start only at first connection in Iraq. The exact date is on your order page and in the email — how the window works.
Refund until the eSIM connects for the first time Installing it at home does not count as using it, so the profile can sit in your phone until you land in Iraq.
If the profile fails to work through no fault of your device, we refund it whether or not it was installed. Terms and refunds.

What we know about the rules here
Not checked yet We have not yet read Iraq's regulator for device-registration, VoIP or line-limit rules. Rather than imply there is nothing, this page says so. The operator facts above come from the catalogue and are current.
Every rule we have confirmed, country by country Three kinds of rule cost travellers a handset, a call or a line. › Questions people ask about Iraq
Can I buy the Iraq eSIM as a tourist, or does someone check my passport first?
No counter and no document: the Babel Mobile profile arrives as a QR by email and joins Korek and Zain the moment you scan it. The catalogue records no identity check on it, checked 28 September 2026.
Will WhatsApp calls work on the Iraq eSIM, and do I get a phone number?
WhatsApp and FaceTime calls run over data, so they work. The Babel Mobile profile is data-only — all 6 Iraq plans are — so it carries no phone number: no SMS, no ordinary calls. Keep your home SIM in the phone for bank codes.
How much data do I need for a week in Iraq?
About 2.4 GB — maps, chats and a podcast a day, with video left on hotel Wi-Fi. In Iraq the cheapest plan that covers it is 3 GB - 30 days at $11.49. That is a guide, not a measurement: the rates are the services' own published figures.
Will I get 5G on the Iraq eSIM?
No — the Iraq profile is specified for 4G on Korek and Zain, not 5G. For maps, calls over data and streaming that is the same experience; 5G changes the number, not the trip.
Does the Iraq eSIM work in the countries next door?
No — the catalogue lists this as a local Iraq profile on Korek and Zain, not a regional plan; it stops at the border. 12 other Middle East countries in the catalogue sell their own.
