Coverage and networks
Your eSIM connects to a partner network in each country on the list. The networks and the final list for each plan are confirmed at checkout.
The plan suits multi-stop trips and stopovers: a few days in Dubai or Doha on the way somewhere else, or a tour that links Jordan and Egypt. Several countries on the list restrict voice and video calls in some apps, so check the plan details if calls matter to you.
Data costs more to buy across this region than in Europe, which is why only smaller plans are listed. For a single country, its own plan is usually much cheaper.

- Most iPhones from XR and XS onwards, Google Pixel 3 onwards and Samsung Galaxy S20 onwards support eSIM.
Middle East and North Africa eSIM questions
Is it cheaper than a plan for one country?
No – for one country, its own plan costs far less. Choose the regional plan when your route takes in several countries on the list.
Does it cover Israel and Jordan?
Yes, both are on the list. The country list is shown again on the plan before you pay.
Can I make WhatsApp calls with it?
That depends on the country and on how the plan routes data. Calls in some apps are restricted in the UAE and other countries on the list, while messaging works. Do not rely on app calls for anything important.
Can I buy the plan now and travel next month?
Yes. The plan starts when the eSIM first connects in a covered country. Install it within 180 days of buying.
