HOW DO I USE THE eSIM ?

The eSIM with installation and activation instructions will arrive in your email. Here are some quick steps.

Before starting the installation process, keep in mind that you must be connected to a stable Wi-Fi network (you cannot be connected to another phone's network in "internet sharing" mode) and your device cannot be in airplane mode.

Check that your phone is compatible with eSIM technology.

Check your email, the same one you provided during the purchase process. There you will find the QR code (eSIM) and instructions for use.

Scan the code from your phone and get ready to follow the installation and activation steps.

Select the new Conecty eSIM as your default. You're now ready to browse.

The eSIM can only be installed once; if you remove it from your device, you will not be able to install it again.

HOW TO DEACTIVATE THE eSIM UPON RETURNING FROM A TRIP?

Go to Settings > Cellular network. Select the eSIM you want to remove and choose Remove eSIM.

Have questions before your trip? Here are quick answers to help you understand how your eSIM works and stay connected abroad.

What is an eSIM and how does it work?

An eSIM (also called a virtual SIM) is the digital version of the traditional SIM card. Instead of a physical card, it uses a chip that's already built into your phone.

Setting up your Conecty eSIM is easy: just scan the QR code we email you. Then, depending on your phone and operating system, follow a few quick steps, like setting the eSIM for data only and choosing whether it's your primary line or your travel line.

Already have your eSIM? Follow our setup guides for eSIM on iPhone and virtual SIM on Samsung.

How can I check my data usage?

You can check your data usage in your phone's settings:
iPhone (iOS): Go to Settings > Cellular and scroll down to see which apps are using cellular data. Watch a step-by-step video.
Android: Go to Settings > Connections > Data usage, then tap Mobile data usage to see which apps are using data. Watch a step-by-step video.

Important: For an accurate reading, reset your usage statistics on the day you leave your home country. We also recommend turning off automatic app syncing to avoid unexpected data usage.

How do I find my assigned phone number?

- US physical SIM or eSIM: dial #686# and your assigned number will appear on screen.

- Physical SIM for Europe (including Switzerland and Turkey): dial *138# to see your assigned number.

- SIM or eSIM for other destinations: contact our support team and we'll let you know whether your plan includes a phone number.

How can I share data with other devices?

Traveling with family or friends? If you're in a group or need to connect several devices, make sure you have enough data so you don't run out. Take our quiz to find the right plan for your trip.

Keep in mind that not all of our SIMs and eSIMs support hotspot (data sharing), so be sure to check each product's terms and conditions before you buy.

To share data from your phone, turn on its hotspot:

Android: Go to Settings > Network & internet > Hotspot & tethering. Tap Wi-Fi hotspot, set a network name and password, then turn it on.

iPhone: Go to Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot, turn on Allow Others to Join, and set a Wi-Fi password.

Remember: The more devices you connect, the slower your connection will be and the faster you'll use up your data.

Do I need to change my WhatsApp number?

No. Messaging and calling apps like WhatsApp and Telegram aren't affected. Depending on your destination, your plan may come with a local number, mainly for receiving calls or signing up for certain apps. Apps linked to your home number will keep working as usual, and this only applies while you're using your Conecty SIM/eSIM.

Can my unlimited data be throttled?

We want every customer to enjoy a great connection, so our unlimited plans are subject to a Fair Use Policy. If your usage is unusually high, the carrier may temporarily reduce your speed to keep the network running smoothly. Don't worry—your regular speed is restored automatically at midnight (12:00 a.m.).

Full Connectivity in the UAE with eSIM and SIM Card

The best solution for internet access in the United Arab Emirates is acquiring an international eSIM, as it allows for the activation of high-speed data plans in under 5 minutes without needing to remove your usual SIM card. For travelers who require stability in remote areas or own older devices, a local physical SIM card remains the most compatible alternative. Both options guarantee access to 5G and 4G LTE networks in critical locations like the Burj Khalifa and the Abu Dhabi desert, avoiding the high international roaming costs of home operators.

Technical comparison between eSIM and traditional SIM card

To decide which option best suits your trip to Dubai or Sharjah, it is essential to analyze your smartphone's flexibility and hardware. The eSIM (Embedded SIM) is a virtual chip that eliminates the logistics of physical delivery, ideal for the modern traveler.

Attribute International eSIM Local SIM Card
Installation Digital via QR Code Manual (Physical slot)
Activation time Instant 15-30 minutes in-store
Cost Competitive / Prepaid Variable + Local taxes
Multi-country Includes Israel, Jordan, Oman Limited to UAE
Privacy High (No physical passport required) Mandatory registration with ID
“The adoption of eSIM in the tourism sector has reduced connectivity friction by 65%, allowing 40% of international travelers to keep their social networks active from the moment they land.” — Digital Travel Trends Report 2025.

Extended regional coverage in the Middle East

One of the biggest challenges when exploring the Arab world is changing borders. Our solution is not limited to the borders of the United Arab Emirates. By purchasing this plan, you ensure seamless network handoff in the following destinations:

  • Jordan: Stable connectivity in Petra and the Dead Sea.
  • Israel: Access to high-speed networks in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
  • Oman: Coverage in Muscat and mountain routes.
  • Kuwait and Iraq: Data support for business and logistics travelers.

This semantic interoperability between local networks allows your device to automatically connect to the operator with the best signal (such as Etisalat or Ooredoo), ensuring your digital guides and navigation maps work without interruption.

How to activate your internet before landing in Dubai

To maximize your time at the Burj Al Arab or the traditional souks, we recommend prior setup. The SPO (Subject-Predicate-Object) activation model is simple:

  1. The User purchases the eSIM plan.
  2. The System sends a QR Code to the email.
  3. The Smartphone scans the code and automatically configures the access point (APN).

Interesting fact: Using digital maps and transportation apps in Dubai can consume up to 500MB daily. A plan of 10GB or higher is the standard recommendation for a 7 to 10-day stay.

Frequently asked questions about internet in the Emirates

Do I need an unlocked phone to use an eSIM in Dubai?

Yes, your device must be factory unlocked to accept any international eSIM. You can check this in your mobile's "Network Information" settings.

Can I keep my WhatsApp number from my country?

Absolutely. When using a data eSIM, your WhatsApp number remains linked to your original SIM card, allowing you to chat and call without changing settings.

What if I travel from Dubai to Abu Dhabi?

Coverage is continuous. The network automatically adapts between the seven emirates, ensuring that GPS and booking applications work throughout the national territory.
