What people talk about us

The most daring travelers have already tried esimdubai.com. Will you?

Jamie Nichols testimonial

Ted Wham

I recently used the eSIM from esimdubai.com for my trip to Dubai, 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.

Karl Bedrich testimonial

I highly recommend the unlimited plan for 15 days from esimdubai.com to anyone looking for an easy and affordable way to stay connected while traveling in Dubai. 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 testimonial Trustpilot

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, Dubai, and other southeastern Asia.

Leon Sutherland

Bought eSIM a couple of days in advance of entering Dubai. 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.

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM provides the same functionalities as a physical SIM card, including data access, making and receiving calls, and sending and receiving SMS messages. It essentially replaces the physical card with a digital equivalent embedded in your device..

Yes, you can absolutely get an eSIM in Dubai. It’s a very convenient option for tourists. Major telecom providers like Etisalat and du offer eSIM plans specifically tailored for visitors, with varying data allowances and durations to suit your needs. You can typically purchase these eSIMs online before your trip, ensuring you’re connected from the moment you arrive, or you can find them at authorized retailers upon arrival. Just make sure your device is eSIM compatible before you go. Using an eSIM avoids the hassle of finding a physical SIM card vendor and allows you to quickly get online and start enjoying your time in Dubai.

Ideally, activate your Dubai eSIM the day before or the day of your departure. This ensures you’re connected immediately upon arrival without wasting any days of your eSIM plan’s validity. Just make sure you have internet access for the activation process.

For travelers to Dubai, an eSIM is generally the more convenient option. It offers instant activation, eliminating the need to search for a local SIM vendor upon arrival. You can activate your plan before you even leave home, ensuring immediate connectivity. Plus, you avoid the risk of losing a physical SIM card. For a hassle-free and connected trip, choose an eSIM.

For your 30-day stay in Dubai, consider these eSIM options: High data users (streaming, social media, remote work) should opt for a larger package like 12GB. Moderate users (navigation, email, messaging) might find 6GB sufficient. Light users (occasional browsing) could choose a smaller plan like 1GB. Evaluate your data needs and select the best option for a seamless and connected trip. [email protected].

In Dubai, both major telecommunications providers offer eSIM services: Etisalat and du. However, Etisalat is a particularly prominent player in the eSIM market and is often a preferred choice for visitors. They have invested heavily in their eSIM infrastructure and offer a wide range of plans suitable for tourists. While du also provides eSIM service, Etisalat generally has a reputation for broader coverage and sometimes faster speeds, particularly in more remote areas. So, while both are viable options, if you’re looking for a reliable and widely supported eSIM experience in Dubai, Etisalat is often considered a top choice. Be sure to compare their specific plans and pricing to find the best fit for your needs.

No, Our eSIM is a data-only plan and does not include a phone number. It’s perfect for accessing the internet, using apps, and staying connected online, but it won’t allow you to make traditional phone calls or send/receive SMS messages.

Dubai offers excellent eSIM network coverage with widespread and reliable 4G/LTE connectivity, and 5G is becoming increasingly available. You can expect a strong and consistent connection for most of your trip, allowing you to use apps, navigate, and stay connected without interruption. While remote desert areas might have weaker signals, the city and popular tourist spots offer excellent coverage.

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

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.
