“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.”

Qatar Travel eSIM FAQ

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 around 180 travel eSIM brands available for use in Qatar, and roughly 8900 prepaid data plans. With such a vast number of plans, travelers have a wide variety of options, making it easy to choose an eSIM that meets their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Qatar?

Yes, several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans that can be used in Qatar. The following names are available: Yesim, Roamify, abesteSIM, Truely, MicroEsim, EtravelSIM, Bloomy eSIM, and Ohayu. Most of these plans allow tethering and may throttle speeds after a certain volume, while Ohayu additionally caps speed at 1 Mbps. Prices for these unlimited options range from roughly $4.60 for a 30‑day plan via Yesim up to about $98.00 for a 15‑day plan with Bloomy eSIM, with most plans falling between $5 and $95.

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 give a phone number and support SMS are available for Qatar. Providers that offer these plans include Airhub, RedEx eSIM, GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, JamboSim, Roamify, and other vendors.

Some providers give a local Qatari number using the dialing code +974 (Airhub and RedEx eSIM). Most plans use foreign dialing codes such as +1, +33, or +376 and therefore supply a non‑local number, yet still provide inbound and/or outbound voice calls and SMS. These plans come in a range of data allowances—from a few gigabytes to over 100GB—validity periods from 7 days to 365 days, and prices that start around $5.
