eSIMzio’s UAE plans run on Etisalat with 5G where available — you’ll see it named in the app.
Even a 12-hour Dubai layover needs data for Careem and maps. The 1 GB / 7 days plan covers a stopover for less than an airport coffee.
The UAE regulates internet calling: WhatsApp and FaceTime calls may not connect on any network there — that’s a country rule, not an eSIM limitation. Messaging works normally.
Add the eSIM over Wi-Fi at home; it activates when it first connects in the UAE.
Pick a UAE & Dubai plan — Apple Pay, Google Pay or card. Your eSIM is delivered the instant payment succeeds.
One tap on most phones, or scan the QR. Do it at home — the plan only starts when it first connects abroad.
Switch the eSIM on for data when you arrive and watch your live usage in the app.
United Arab Emirates data plans start at £3.50 for 1 GB / 7 days, up to 50 GB and unlimited options. The price you see in the app is exactly what you pay — no roaming charges on top.
eSIMzio’s United Arab Emirates plans connect to Etisalat with 5G where available. The app shows the real operator and coverage before you buy — we never invent coverage claims.
Install it before you fly, over Wi-Fi at home. Delivery is instant after payment, and the plan’s validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy.
Yes, and we show it up front: unlimited United Arab Emirates plans reduce to 1 Mbps after 3 GB of use per day, then restore at full speed the next day. You’ll see this on the plan card in the app before paying.
Yes. The travel eSIM runs alongside your usual SIM, which stays active for calls, texts and WhatsApp — only your data routes through the eSIM.
Download eSIMzio, install before you fly, and land already connected.
