Is it worth getting an eSIM for Middle East?
For most tourists and business travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Middle East plans start at $3.99 for 1 GB, and you install the eSIM before you fly, so you have data when you land, without queuing for a tourist SIM at the airport. If your home plan already covers Middle East at no extra cost, you may not need one.

How much data do I need for a week in Middle East?
It depends on how you use your phone. Light use (maps, messaging, browsing) takes about 0.5–1 GB a day; scrolling a lot of social video can take 2–3 GB or more. Typical use per hour:
- Instagram Reels, TikTok: 0.3–1 GB
- YouTube, Netflix at standard quality: 0.5–1 GB
- Video calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime): 0.5–1 GB
- Voice calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime Audio): 50–70 MB
- Maps and navigation: 2–6 MB
- Messaging and browsing: 50–150 MB
The cheapest Middle East plan with at least 5 GB for a week or longer is 5 GB for 30 days at $10.99.
Do Middle East eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
5G is available on 1 plan for Middle East, where the local network has 5G coverage; the others use 4G/LTE. Hotspot (tethering) works on every plan, so you can share your data with other devices.
Does a Middle East eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most Middle East plans, are data-only and have no local number. You keep your usual number on your main SIM for calls, texts and WhatsApp. Plans that include a number or minutes say so on the plan page.
Will my phone work with a Middle East eSIM?
Yes, if it supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. To check, dial *#06#: if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. Most iPhones from the XS/XR on, Galaxy S20 and later and Pixel 3 and later do, except models sold in mainland China.
Can I keep my own SIM and WhatsApp while using a Middle East eSIM?
Yes. Your eSIM and your main SIM can be active at the same time. Use the eSIM for mobile data with data roaming on for that line, and turn data roaming off on your home SIM to avoid charges. WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number.

I recently used their service and I’m extremely satisfied. The package lasted longer than expected, and I was able to make great use of it across the Asian region. They also have the fastest support team — very responsive and incredibly detailed in the information they provide.

I've tried a few eSIM apps and MobiMatters is the best. They have real customer support, lots of packages, and the service has worked very well in Australia, Singapore, Montenegro and other places. I highly recommend them.

The cheapest eSIM app I’ve found so far. I thought I had made a mistake while installing the eSIM, so I contacted customer support. They replied to my email within just 3 minutes and helped me right away. I also had no problems with the internet connection. Overall, a great experience!

This was my first e-SIM experience, and believe me, the signal is much better than the lines in Turkey. I traveled to four different cities in Indonesia and got 5G in all of them. 5 GB of internet lasted me three weeks. Thank you.

I loved it! I can have data wherever I go, they have many options, the data lasts a long time and is very affordable. I used the 3GB option for Europe and I've already had data for 15 days for €5. Honestly, if you manage it well and use it only when you don't have Wi-Fi, it can easily last you thirty days. I still have 1.6 GB left (half) and I have 10 days left on the plan. Highly recommended app for eSIM 💪
