What people talk about us
The most daring travelers have already tried uaeesim.com. Will you?
Ted Wham
I recently used the eSIM from uaeesim.com for my trip to UAE, and I must say I’m impressed with their service. Immediately following the transaction completion I received the information I needed to install the eSIM remotely, something that was aided by the copious documentation that was provided in my language (English). The eSIM was successfully installed on my iPhone 11 and I think I am good to go.
AshC
I highly recommend the unlimited plan for 15 days from uaeesim.com to anyone looking for an easy and affordable way to stay connected while traveling in UAE. While I did encounter some difficulties installing the esim, the team was quick to respond and helped me resolve the issue in a timely and professional manner. The esim itself was fast and reasonably priced.
Marcin
It worked straight away after data plan activation as per instruction. 10GB for $12 for 15 days is amazing. And best thing is eSIM which is used for data only and if needed still someone can call your primary/home number. I couldn’t be happier with the service. I will recommend this to anyone who is about to travel to Vietnam, UAE, and other southeastern Asia.
Leon Sutherland
Bought eSIM a couple of days in advance of entering UAE. Activated at the border by sending text as per instructions. Immediately up and running with speedy internet usage. Had to make change to APN’s to facilitate personal hotspot usage but again followed simple instructions provided and works perfectly. All in all a great experience from a well priced package.
Frequently asked questions
If you still have questions about this service? We are here to help
Which devices are compatible with UAE eSIM?
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.
When will I receive my eSIM?
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].
When does my UAE data plan start?
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.
Do I have to switch on eSIM data roaming on my 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.
Can I make voice calls and send text SMS with eSIM?
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.
Can I keep my WhatsApp number?
Yes, you can keep your WhatsApp number and all your contacts and conversations. You can use it like normal during your trip in UAE.
Will my UAE eSIM work if I change or upgrade my phone?
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.
Will I have coverage in all areas of the UAE?
Yes, all long validity plans provide SIM access to the entire Etisalat network nationwide across the UAE – from big cities to remote areas.
Can I share data with other devices?
Yes, the UAE eSIM can be shared with other devices.
Which airports in UAE provide WiFi to activate the eSIM?
Major airports like Dubai International (DXB), Abu Dhabi (AUH) and Sharjah (SHJ) have free WiFi options to activate eSIMs arriving in UAE.
Is my personal information and payment secure on your website?
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.
What happens if I use up my data or my plan validity?
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.
Can I use SIM card and UAE eSIM at the same time?
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.
