UAE eSIM — common questions

What travelers ask before flying to Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

How much does a UAE eSIM cost?
DataSIM UAE plans are all valid for 30 days: 3 GB for $7.50, 5 GB for $12.50, 10 GB for $22, 20 GB for $39.50, 50 GB for $89, and 100 GB for $116.50 — as low as $1.17 per GB. No contracts or hidden fees, and you can top up anytime in the app.
Do WhatsApp calls work in the UAE?
WhatsApp messaging, photos, and voice notes work normally on your DataSIM eSIM. However, voice and video calls on apps like WhatsApp and FaceTime are restricted by UAE telecom regulations — this applies to all mobile networks and Wi-Fi in the country, not just eSIMs. Regular messaging and browsing are unaffected.
Does the eSIM work in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi?
Yes — one eSIM covers all seven Emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain, with 4G/5G on leading UAE networks.
Do I need to show ID or do eKYC to get a UAE eSIM?
No. Unlike buying a local SIM card in the UAE, a DataSIM travel eSIM requires no Emirates ID, passport registration, or eKYC. Buy in the app and install in minutes.
Can I use my eSIM as a hotspot in the UAE?
Yes, hotspot and tethering are supported on all DataSIM plans, so you can share your connection with a laptop or travel companions.
Does my phone support eSIM?
Most phones from 2019 onward do — including iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and recent Samsung Galaxy models. Your phone must be carrier-unlocked.
When should I install my UAE eSIM?
Install it before you travel, while you're on Wi-Fi. The plan only starts when the eSIM connects to a network in the UAE, so installing early costs nothing.
What happens when my data runs out?
Top up instantly in the DataSIM app — no need to install a new eSIM.
