“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?

Over 140 travel eSIM providers and more than 5, 700 prepaid data plans are available for Qatar. The wide variety of options makes it easy to find an eSIM that meets a traveler’s specific needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Qatar?

Yes, several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans for travelers to Qatar. Providers such as Roamify, Yoho Mobile, Yesim, abesteSIM, Truely, and MicroEsim all list unlimited data options with validity periods ranging from one to eighty days. Most of these plans allow tethering but note that speed may be throttled, and Yoho Mobile specifies a 5‑Mbps speed limit. Prices for the unlimited options vary from as low as $4.50 USD to over $450 USD, so users can select a plan that fits their budget while ensuring sufficient data for their travel 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?

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS capability for Qatar are available from several providers listed on eSIMDB. Providers that offer such plans include GlobaleSIM, Roamify, LinkeSIM, Esimtofly, Earth Esim, and Orange Travel. All of these plans supply a virtual phone number, support inbound voice calls, allow outbound voice calls, and provide SMS functionality (some offer inbound only, others inbound and outbound).

Because Qatar’s national dialing code is +974, the numbers supplied by these eSIMs use foreign dialing codes—mainly +1 (United States/Canada) and +33 (France). Prices for the available packages start around $5 for a 7‑day, 1GB plan and extend to over $100 for a 365‑day, 20GB plan, with validity periods ranging from a single week up to one year.
