“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 more than 200 travel eSIM providers and over 10, 700 prepaid data plans available for use in Qatar. With such a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Qatar?

Unlimited data eSIM options are available for visitors to Qatar from several providers. Providers such as Earth Esim, ASIMGO, Yesim, Roamify, abesteSIM, Truely, MicroEsim, EtravelSIM, and Ohayu all offer plans where the data allowance is unlimited for the validity period. All these plans allow tethering, but the speed delivered may be throttled after a certain threshold. Specific speed caps are noted for a few: Earth Esim and Ohayu cap the maximum speed at 1 Mbps, while ASIMGO caps it at 5 Mbps; the other providers list only “speed may be throttled” without a hard limit.

Prices for the unlimited data eSIM plans in Qatar vary from about $3.49 to $80.00 USD, depending on the chosen validity period and provider. This range gives travelers flexibility to select a plan that fits their budget while ensuring they have access to data for emails, browsing, and app usage throughout their stay.

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 provide both a phone number and SMS capability are available for Qatar. Among the providers that offer such plans are GlobaleSIM, JamboSim, ESIM.DOG, AirPlans, Roamify, RedEx eSIM and other operators. The plans typically include inbound and outbound voice services and inbound and/or outbound SMS, though some plans restrict SMS to outbound only. Most of the available numbers use a foreign dialing code of +1 (U.S./Canada) or +33 (France), which means the number is not local to Qatar; only the RedEx eSIM plans listed use the local Qatar dialing code +974. Prices for these plans start around $5 for a 1GB 7‑day package and can extend to $105 for a 20GB 365‑day package, with validity ranging from a single day to a full year, depending on the provider and package.
