Are VoIP applications such as WhatsApp or Signal video/voice calls restricted in Iraq with DataESIM?

Updated April 22, 2026

Unlike some other regional states, Iraq generally does not impose blanket restrictions on Voice over IP (VoIP) applications like WhatsApp or Signal, which are crucial for secure and efficient communication. However, it is important to note that the Iraqi government has historically implemented temporary, localized internet blackouts or data service disruptions, particularly during periods of civil unrest or examinations. While DataESIM provides robust data access, users should be aware that these governmental actions can temporarily affect all mobile data services, including VoIP, across all carriers.
