“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.”

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?

Qatar has more than 210 travel eSIM providers and more than 11, 500 prepaid data plans available, offering a wide variety of options that make it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Qatar?

Unlimited data eSIM plans are available for travelers in Qatar. Providers such as Earth Esim, Yesim, ASIMGO, Roamify, abesteSIM, MicroEsim, EtravelSIM, and Numero eSIM offer unlimited data for validity periods ranging from 1 day up to 30 days. Some plans include speed limits—Earth Esim caps speed at 1 Mbps, ASIMGO and Numero eSIM limit it to 5 Mbps, while the others may throttle speed without a fixed cap. Prices for unlimited plans span from $3.49 to $120.00 USD, giving a broad range to choose from based on budget and desired validity period.

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 are available for Qatar from several providers. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, JamboSim, ESIM.DOG, Esimtofly, RedEx eSIM, and Orange Travel offer plans that provide inbound/outbound voice calls and SMS, with validity periods ranging from 7 days to 180 days and prices generally starting around $5 and rising to about $30 for larger data allowances. However, the phone numbers supplied by these plans use foreign dialing codes (e.g., +1 for the United States, +33 for France, or +974 for Qatar) rather than a local Qatar number; therefore travelers will not receive a true local Qatar number. All plans, regardless of dialing code, support inbound and outbound voice and SMS where indicated, but the number’s country code determines whether it is local to Qatar or abroad.
