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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

There are over 100 travel eSIM brands and more than 3000 prepaid data plans available for Qatar. With such a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find a plan that meets their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Qatar?

Unlimited data eSIM plans for Qatar are offered by several providers, with prices ranging from about $4.50 to $234.31 USD for validity periods of 1‑30 days. All of these plans permit tethering, and most include a note that speed may be throttled; for example, Yoho Mobile’s plan caps speed at 5 Mbps. The networks covered include 3G, 4G, 5G, and LTE depending on the provider. When choosing a plan, consider the expected data usage for activities such as streaming or remote work and select a plan with a data allowance that comfortably covers those needs.

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?

Yes, you can obtain a travel eSIM that includes a phone number and SMS capability while visiting Qatar. The two providers that offer such plans are GlobaleSIM and Roamify. GlobaleSIM’s plans provide a phone number with dialing code +1, inbound and outbound voice calls, and inbound SMS, with data limits ranging from 1 GB to 20 GB and validity periods from 7 to 30 days. Roamify offers a similar option with a phone number that can carry either a +1 code or, for its Qatar‑specific 15 GB plan, a +33 code; voice calls are available both inbound and outbound and SMS both inbound and outbound, with data caps from 1 GB to 15 GB and validity from 7 to 30 days, including optional longer‑term plans. Because both providers use foreign dialing codes rather than Qatar’s local +974 code, the phone numbers you receive will not be local to Qatar.
