About 100 travel eSIM brands are available for use in Bahrain, and roughly 2700 prepaid data plans offer travelers a wide variety of options.
Yes, several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans for Bahrain. Firsty supplies a zero‑price option that includes advertisements and a strict speed limit of 256 kbps. Roamify, abesteSIM, Yoho Mobile, Truely, Yesim, MicroEsim and Airalo also supply unlimited packages, typically valid from 1 to 30 days (Airalo’s only plan is 10 days). All of these allow tethering, but most include a note that speeds may be throttled; a handful impose explicit limits, such as abesteSIM, Yoho Mobile and MicroEsim capping speeds at 5 Mbps, while Truely’s and Yesim’s packages do not state a particular cap beyond the general throttling guidance. The price range for these unlimited options spans from free with Firsty up to around $449, with most plans falling between roughly $4.50 and $200 depending on duration and additional features.
Bahrain's mobile telecommunications market is served by three major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):
Batelco: Established in 1981, Batelco is the oldest telecommunications provider in Bahrain, offering a comprehensive range of services including voice, data, and messaging.
Zain Bahrain: Launched in 2003, Zain Bahrain is part of the Zain Group, a prominent telecommunications conglomerate in the Middle East and North Africa, providing extensive mobile services such as voice, data, and value-added offerings.
STC Bahrain (formerly VIVA Bahrain): Operating since 2010, STC Bahrain is a subsidiary of the Saudi Telecom Company (STC), delivering a variety of mobile services including voice, data, and messaging.
These operators have invested in expanding their network infrastructure to include the latest technologies like 4G and 5G, ensuring extensive coverage and high-speed internet services across the country.
In addition to these MNOs, Bahrain hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). MVNOs provide mobile services by leasing access from major carriers, offering alternative options to consumers. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.
Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS are offered to Bahrain travellers by Roamify. Their Bahrain‑specific eSIM provides 15GB of data, 15 calls, and 50 SMS for 30 days, while their global Premium eSIMs range from 1GB/7 days to 20GB/365 days. All of these plans support inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS. However, the short‑code used for the phone number is either +1 or +33, meaning the number is not local to Bahrain and will carry a foreign dialing code. Prices for the available options begin at $15.00 USD for the smallest plan and increase with data size and validity.
