Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for United Arab Emirates

Giga.Tel does not offer a truly unlimited data eSIM for United Arab Emirates. The plans that carry the name “Unlimited” provide a high‑speed data allowance of 10GB per day; beyond that threshold the connection is throttled to 128kbps, effectively capping the usable data.
Travelers who need a larger continuous data allowance can opt for one of Giga.Tel’s fixed data plans, such as the 50 GB (128kbps) plan valid for 1 to 10 days, or the 10GB/day plans that run for 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, or 30 days. These fixed‑data options are generally more cost‑effective for most users, particularly those who consume a lot of data.

Giga.Tel does not provide United Arab Emirates eSIMs that include a phone number or SMS capability. The provider offers only data‑only eSIM plans in this destination, so travelers will be able to use a data connection for the Internet but will need a separate phone number to receive phone calls or SMS. Popular VoIP apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage can normally be used over the data connection to make calls and send messages, but a traveler should verify that those apps are accessible in United Arab Emirates before purchasing, as some destinations may block or restrict certain services.

In the United Arab Emirates Giga.Tel offers 102 single‑country data plans and 146 multi‑country data plans. These plans cover data caps ranging from 1 GB to 50 GB and have prices between $2.49 and $258.95. Some plans provide a daily data cap (a limit that applies each day) while others use a fixed data cap that limits the total data available for the entire validity period. The validity of the plans can be as short as one day or extend up to 365 days, and many include the ability to tether a device to the data connection.
