Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for Middle East

Giga.Tel’s plans marketed for the Middle East are described as “unlimited, ” but each plan actually provides 1GB daily of high‑speed data. Once the 1GB/day limit is reached, speed is reduced to 512kbps. The plans vary in validity from 5 to 15 days and include features such as tethering, but they do not grant truly unlimited high‑speed data.

Instead, Giga.Tel offers fixed‑data alternatives that may be more economical for heavy users. For example, a 50GB data plan valid for 7 days costs $55.49 USD, while a 50GB plan for 15 days costs $61.49 USD. These fixed‑data plans give higher overall data allowances with a lower post‑threshold speed of 128kbps and could be a better option if continuous, unlimited data is not required.

Giga.Tel does not offer a Middle East eSIM plan with a phone number or SMS capability. All plans sold by Giga.Tel for this region are data‑only, so users cannot receive or send regular SMS messages or place standard voice calls to or from a local number.

Travelers who need messaging or calling can still use data from the eSIM with popular VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage, which work over a data connection without requiring a local phone number.
