Phone rules in Azerbaijan
The rules a caller, a visitor or a new resident runs into in Azerbaijan, each with its source.
| ID to buy a SIM | Yes. Foreign visitors get a prepaid number (e.g. Azercell Tourist/Travel packs, physical SIM or eSIM) at operator offices or official dealers by showing a valid foreign passport; a temporary or permanent residence permit is also accepted. A phone used with an Azerbaijani SIM must have its IMEI registered within 30 days of first connecting to a local network (online via imei.az or at registration centres, operator offices and post offices; the fee depends on the device's market price), otherwise the IMEI is blacklisted. Visitors roaming on a foreign SIM do not need to register. No SIM-count limit found.azercell.com · mincom.gov.az · bakcell.com |
|---|---|
| Monthly contract | At Azercell, a foreigner needs three things for a postpaid line: the foreign passport, a temporary or permanent Azerbaijani residence permit, and a letter of guarantee from a bank or legal entity. Without the guarantee letter the number gets no credit limit. A prepaid line needs only one of these: a passport or a residence permit.azercell.com |
| Calling apps | No nationwide block of WhatsApp, Skype or FaceTime calls is documented. Freedom House (Freedom on the Net 2025: Not Free, 34/100) lists 'social media blocked: No' but records website blocking and network throttling, for example throttled internet in Imishli during a protest in January 2025.freedomhouse.org |
