“Bought the 500gb unlimited 1 day plan of USD 10 for Qatar. It's being marketed that plan is not throttled. But in reality it's throttled at 10mbps. Shame shame.”

“The esim worked well for me in Qatar. I was connected to the internet from when the airplane landed at the airport.

They have the most affordable prices for all their tiers (1/3/5/10/15 GB) on esimdb.

The team is friendly and I recommend them.

You just have to scan the QR code before flying and don't forget to enable data roaming.”

“The esim did not even install, and when I tried asking for a refund the provider did not agree. Worst esim provider. I do not recommend.
It was not a device issue as I have used multiple esims on the same device before.”

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Qatar

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Qatar, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

There are approximately 140 travel eSIM providers and about 6, 200 prepaid data plans available for use in Qatar. The extensive range of plans offers a wide variety of options, making it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Unlimited data eSIM plans are available for travelers visiting Qatar from several providers. Yesim offers the broadest validity period, with plans that last from 1 to 80 days and priced from roughly $4.60 to $45, depending on the chosen duration and features, and the network is 5G. Roamify and abesteSIM both provide unlimited data for 1 to 30‑day periods, with prices ranging from about $5.00 to $188 and network coverage on 5G as well. Truely and MicroEsim also offer 1‑to‑30‑day unlimited data plans priced between roughly $7.90 and $234, again utilizing 5G connectivity. All of these options allow tethering, but speed may be throttled; abesteSIM specifically limits the maximum speed to 5 Mbps.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Qatar?

In Qatar, two major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) provide mobile services:

Ooredoo Qatar: Established in 1987, Ooredoo is a leading telecommunications company offering a wide range of mobile services, including voice and data, with extensive 4G and 5G network coverage.
Vodafone Qatar: Since its inception in 2009, Vodafone Qatar has been a significant player in the country's telecommunication sector, providing comprehensive mobile services with robust 4G and expanding 5G network coverage.

Currently, Qatar does not have Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). Therefore, all mobile services are provided directly by these two MNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Qatar?

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS for Qatar are available from several providers. Up to six of the options that start at the lowest price are GlobaleSIM, Roamify, Esimtofly, LinkeSIM, Orange Travel, and Earth Esim, and other suppliers also offer similar plans, notably Airhub, which provides a local +974 number. These plans generally give a voice line (inbound and outbound) and SMS capability; the number’s dialing code is either +1 (United States) or +33 (France) for most providers, while Airhub supplies a genuine Qatar number with the local +974 code. Prices start around $5 for a 7‑day data package and can rise to over $60 for 30‑day packages with 20 GB or more of data, so travelers can choose a plan that matches their budget and required validity.
