“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 about 180 travel eSIM providers and about 8, 500 prepaid data plans available for Qatar. With such a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that meets their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Qatar?

Yesim, Roamify, abesteSIM, Truely, MicroEsim, EtravelSIM and Ohayu all offer unlimited data eSIM plans for Qatar. These plans typically come with 5G connectivity, though speed may be reduced after high‑usage periods and, in the case of Ohayu, a hard limit of 1 Mbps is applied. Prices for the unlimited options vary between roughly $4.62 and $140.00 USD, depending on the provider and the 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?

Yes, travel eSIMs that provide a phone number and SMS capability can be purchased for Qatar. Providers such as Airhub and RedEx eSIM offer plans with a local Qatar number (dialing code +974) and support inbound and outbound calls and SMS; their packages range from 20 GB for about $30 to 100 GB for around $69, with validity periods of 30 days. Other operators—including GlobaleSIM, JamboSim, ESIM.DOG and Simbye—offer packages that include a phone number and full SMS support, though the numbers use foreign dialing codes (e.g., +1, +33, +44). These plans generally start around $5 for 1 GB and extend to 100 GB for roughly $60, with validity periods ranging from 7 to 30 days. Travelers should verify that local networks in Qatar allow the use of any foreign‑dialed numbers and that VoIP or messaging apps meet their needs when using international numbers.
