“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?

About 150 travel eSIM brands are available for use in Qatar, and there are more than 7, 600 prepaid data plans. This abundance of choices makes it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that matches their individual needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Qatar?

Unlimited data eSIM plans are available for travelers in Qatar from several providers. Yesim, Roamify, Truely, MicroEsim and EtravelSIM all offer plans that allow for unlimited data usage, typically over a 5G network; however, speed throttling may occur after a certain data threshold is reached. The pricing for these plans varies, with the lowest entry point around $4.60 USD and the highest around $257.75 USD for the longest validity, giving visitors a broad range to choose from based on their required duration and budget.

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 eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS service are available for Qatar from several providers. GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, JamboSim and Roamify all offer plans with the dialing code +1, so the number will be a foreign US/Canada number that can receive inbound SMS and support outbound voice or SMS depending on the specific plan. Airhub and RedEx eSIM provide local Qatar numbers with the dialing code +974, allowing full inbound and outbound voice and SMS. Other providers such as Orange Travel, LinkeSIM, Esimtofly, and a few RedEx eSIM packages use Franco‑European codes (+33) or other international codes (+376, +971), giving users foreign numbers rather than a local Qatar number.

Typical pricing starts around $5 for a 1 GB, 7‑day plan and rises to approximately $105 for a 20 GB, 365‑day package. Validity ranges vary from one week to one year, with most common offerings between 7 days and 30 days. All listed plans support data and telephony features that enable both calling and texting through the provided eSIM.
