Mongolia is a vast landlocked country of steppe, desert, and mountains — the Gobi Desert, the Mongolian Altai, the Orkhon Valley, and the nomadic herder culture that produces the world's finest cashmere. Mobicom provides 4G coverage in Ulaanbaatar and main provincial centres, with coverage along major roads. Data is essential in Ulaanbaatar for using the UB City app for public transport, navigating the Naadam Festival logistics, and communicating with ger camp operators in the Mongolian countryside via WhatsApp or Viber.

Mobicom's 4G covers Ulaanbaatar well — Sukhbaatar Square, the State Department Store, Gandan Monastery, Zaisan Memorial, and main tourist districts. Coverage extends to Karakorum (the ancient Mongolian capital, 370km southwest), Khövsgöl Lake's southern end, and main aimag (provincial) centres. The Trans-Mongolian Railway corridor has basic coverage between stations.

The Gobi Desert — Flaming Cliffs (Bayanzag), Yolyn Am ice canyon, and the singing dunes of Khongoryn Els — is where coverage ends. Remote ger camps in the Gobi operate entirely on satellite communications. The Mongolian Altai in the west (Altai Tavan Bogd National Park) has no coverage.

The Orkhon Valley — Mongolia's most important historical corridor with hot waterfalls and the ruins of Karakorum — has sporadic coverage near main tourist sites. Khövsgöl Lake in the north (the 'Blue Pearl of Mongolia') has coverage at Khatgal town but not on the lake itself.

Mongolia uses the tögrög (MNT). The Naadam Festival (July 11-13) is Mongolia's most important celebration and requires advance booking for accommodations. Ger camps are the primary accommodation in the countryside.
