#1 UAE eSIM
for Travellers

You can check if your smartphone works with eSIM in our up-to-date esim-supported device list. Remember that, to use eSIM, your device must be carrier unlocked.

After your successful payment, the eSIM QR code and installation guide will be delivered to your email immediately. Scan the QR code using your camera, then when you land in UAE, you can stay connected with the supported local network. If you didn’t receive your eSIM plan within 10 minutes, please check your spam folder or promotion folder first, then contact us via [email protected].

Your data plan starts when you activate your plan, not from the time you scan the received QR code and add it to your device.

Yes, you need to enable Data roaming mode to access the Internet with eSIM. Rest assured that if you only enable data roaming with UAE eSIM, you will not be charged.

The eSIM is data-only and does not come with local phone number. It only allows the use of mobile data, so you cannot receive or send calls or SMS.

Yes, you can keep your WhatsApp number and all your contacts and conversations. You can use it like normal during your trip in UAE.

No, the eSIM is tied to the single IMEI of the device it was first activated on. If installing on a new phone, you’ll need to purchase another long validity plan suitable for your new travel dates.

Yes, all long validity plans provide SIM access to the entire Etisalat network nationwide across the UAE – from big cities to remote areas.

Yes, the UAE eSIM can be shared with other devices.

Major airports like Dubai International (DXB), Abu Dhabi (AUH) and Sharjah (SHJ) have free WiFi options to activate eSIMs arriving in UAE.

Yes, our website uses industry-standard SSL encryption to ensure all payment details and personal information is securely transmitted and stored. We do not share customer data with any third parties.

If you use up your data or your plan has expired, you will not be able to access the Internet. If you want to continue using it, you can top up more data or buy a new package.

If you are using an Apple device, you can use two sims at the same time. Just choose your SIM card as the line for phone calls and SMS, and the UAE eSIM for cellular data. Please make sure that you do not leave your SIM card activated, because your mobile network provider may apply roaming fees to receive or send phone calls and SMS.
