More than 110 providers offer more than 4, 000 prepaid data plans for Kuwait, giving travelers a wide variety of options to choose from. With thousands of choices, travelers can easily find an eSIM that fits their needs.
Unlimited data eSIM plans are available for travelers in Kuwait from several providers. Firsty offers a zero‑cost plan that includes ads and a speed limit of 256 kbps, while Roamify, Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, Yesim, Truely, and MicroEsim provide unlimited data with throttling that may affect speed, and most of these plans limit throughput to around 5 Mbps. Some options support tethering, and the networks used include 4G, 5G, LTE, and in a few cases 3G. Prices for these unlimited plans vary from free to $234.31 USD, with most ranges falling between $4 and $160 USD for a 1‑to‑30‑day validity period.
Kuwait's mobile telecommunications market is served by three major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):
Zain: Established in 1983, Zain is Kuwait's largest mobile operator, offering extensive 4G and 5G coverage nationwide.
Ooredoo: Formerly known as Wataniya Telecom, Ooredoo provides comprehensive mobile services, including voice and high-speed data, with a strong focus on customer service.
STC (formerly VIVA): A subsidiary of Saudi Telecom Company, STC offers a range of mobile services and has been expanding its 4G and 5G network infrastructure.
In addition to these MNOs, Kuwait has Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that lease network access from major carriers to offer their own services. For example, Virgin Mobile launched in Kuwait in 2022, operating as the country's first MVNO. It's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of MNOs rather than MVNOs.
Travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS are available for visits to Kuwait. The marketplace offers several options from GlobaleSIM and Roamify that provide an inbound and outbound voice line and either inbound or inbound/outbound text messaging. Plans are available in a range of data capacities – from 1 GB for 7 days at roughly $4 USD up to 20 GB for 365 days for about $105 USD – with validity periods spanning a week to over a year.
All of the listed plans use foreign dialing codes; GlobaleSIM’s plans use the +1 code (North America), while Roamify’s Kuwait‑branded eSIM uses the +33 code (France). Consequently, none of the packages deliver a local Kuwait (+965) phone number. Travelers who need a local number in Kuwait would need to seek a different provider, but the existing options still let users make and receive calls and receive SMS from their subscribed number.
