eSIM for Qatar

Mobile data helps with metro and taxi apps, and with museum hours that change on Fridays and on each museum's closing day.

How a travel eSIM works

  1. 1Check your phoneIt has to support eSIM and not be locked to your carrier. Your phone's settings or your carrier can tell you.
  2. 2Buy and install before you flyPick a plan for Qatar and install it at home on Wi-Fi: setting up an eSIM needs an internet connection.
  3. 3Switch it on when you landChoose the eSIM for mobile data and follow its setup notes; many ask you to turn on data roaming for that line.
  4. 4Keep your own numberYour home SIM can stay on for calls and texts. Many travel eSIMs are data only, with no local number, so check the plan.
