Coverage and networks

Uzbekistan's main mobile operators are Ucell, Beeline and the state-owned Uzmobile, with Mobiuz (formerly UMS) also active. 4G covers Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and most cities and main roads well, and 5G is being rolled out in major centres. Coverage is good along the populated corridors but can weaken in desert areas and remote parts of the country. Beeline and Ucell are popular choices with broad networks in the main tourist regions. Networks: Ucell, Beeline, Uzmobile, Mobiuz.

A typical traveller doing maps, social media and messaging in the cities will find 3-5 GB comfortable for a week or two; add more if you plan to stream or hotspot a laptop.

Uzbekistan blocks or throttles some VoIP and messaging apps at times, so do not count entirely on WhatsApp or Skype calls and have a backup way to stay in touch.
