Stay connected in United Arab Emirates with a data-only eSIM that activates in minutes - no SIM swap, no roaming surprises.

Data in United Arab Emirates runs on the local networks rather than on a roaming agreement with your operator at home, so the phone behaves the way it always does: maps on the way out of the airport, the boarding pass for the flight back, the group chat that has moved on without you.

Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly and leave your usual SIM where it is - that stays the line people call. The code arrives by email within a minute of paying, and it is in your account for as long as the plan lasts.

What you get

  • Data on the destination's own networks, not a roaming agreement
  • Installed with one code, with your own SIM left where it is
  • Hotspot allowed, at the same speed as the phone

Before you buy

An eSIM cannot be moved to another phone once installed, and it cannot be installed on a phone locked to a network.

Frequently asked questions

What is an eSIM?

A digital SIM built into your phone. You install a plan by scanning a QR code, with no plastic card to swap and your own SIM left where it is.

Will my phone work with an eSIM?

Most phones made since 2019 do, including iPhone XS and later, Pixel 3 and later and Galaxy S20 and later. The phone must also be unlocked. Our compatibility page lists the models.

When should I install the eSIM?

Install it at home on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly. The plan only starts when it first connects to a network at your destination.

Do I keep my WhatsApp number?

Yes. WhatsApp, iMessage and your other apps stay on your usual number. The eSIM only carries the data.

Can I make phone calls?

Most plans are data only. You can still call over WhatsApp, FaceTime or any other app, and your own SIM can stay on for texts such as bank codes.

What happens when my data runs out?

We email you before it does, and you can top up the same eSIM without installing anything new.

Can I use my phone as a hotspot?

Yes. Tethering is allowed on every plan, at the same speed your phone gets.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, as long as the eSIM has not been installed or activated. Once it is installed, we refund it only if it cannot connect because of a network fault.
