Can I use ride apps in Pyongyang, North Korea with my EastESIM?

Updated April 22, 2026

Due to the unique telecommunications environment in North Korea, common international ride-hailing apps like Uber or Grab are not operational there. While EastESIM focuses on providing connectivity across Asia, direct public internet access and app usage are highly restricted for visitors in Pyongyang. Travelers typically rely on pre-arranged transportation through tour guides. Therefore, an EastESIM would not facilitate ride-sharing apps in this specific destination, as the local infrastructure doesn't support them for foreign visitors.
