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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Qatar, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

More than 110 providers and over 3, 500 prepaid plans are available in Qatar, and the wide variety of options makes it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Qatar?

The ending country market features a handful of unlimited eSIM options that can be used in Qatar. Providers such as Roamify, Yoho Mobile, Yesim, abesteSIM, Truely and MicroEsim all offer unlimited data packages valid for 1 to 30 days. Speed may be throttled on most of these plans, and for Yoho Mobile a specific speed limit of 5 Mbps is imposed. Pricing for the unlimited options starts around $4.50 and can go up to roughly $234 USD, with most plans falling between $4.50 and $150 USD. These ranges give travelers a range of choices, and the trade‑off between cost and performance can be balanced against the expected data usage during a stay in Qatar.

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?

Yes, travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS services are available for use while staying in Qatar. The providers that offer such plans on eSIMDB are GlobaleSIM and Roamify, and the offerings range from 1 GB of data for 7 days with prices as low as $5 USD to 20 GB for 365 days costing around $105 USD. The Telephony feature on all of these eSIMs lists the dialing code as +1, which is the U.S. country code, and it includes inbound and outbound voice calls as well as inbound SMS (or inbound/outbound SMS for Roamify). Although the data, validity periods and prices vary, the number supplied is not a local Qatari number (local dialing code +974). If a local number is required, travelers would need to seek a separate service that provides a +974 number or use voice and messaging apps over the data portion of the plan.
