A week in Oman: roaming pack vs eSIM
2.2× cheaper than prepaid packs Free on Virgin Mobile 20 GB+ plans5.6 GB for 7 days (0.8 GB a day, social media and photos): the cheapest prepaid way to get it from e& (Etisalat), du and Virgin Mobile, the postpaid price where it is lower, next to the eSIM.
Operator packs may include minutes on your UAE number; the eSIM is data only. Virgin Mobile’s One Country roaming is free on its plans of 20 GB or more, for one country a month from its list (34 countries on its page); you switch it on again each month. In the Gulf your e& or du roaming pack can be as cheap as an eSIM, and Virgin Mobile plans from 20 GB include one country free. An eSIM wins on short trips, on prepaid lines and against 10-day GCC packs.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a day of mobile data cost in Oman?
On plans with a fixed data allowance, AED 1.13 to AED 4.83 a day in Oman: 3 GB for 30 days at AED 33.99 is the lowest daily price, 20 GB for 30 days the highest. Cheapest plan that lasts the whole trip: for 7 days, 1 GB at AED 2.43 a day; for 15 days, 2 GB at AED 1.87 a day; for 30 days, 3 GB at AED 1.13 a day. Unused days are not refunded.
Which network does the eSIM use in Oman?
Only Omantel (5G): it is the single partner network for Oman in the catalogue. Where Omantel has no coverage, this eSIM has no signal either, so on a remote route check that Omantel covers it.
What if the eSIM doesn't work when you land in Oman?
Check, in this order: data roaming is on for the eSIM line, the eSIM is chosen as the line for mobile data, and airplane mode is off. Then the APN: on this plan it is entered by hand on Android, globaldata. Give the phone a few minutes to register on Omantel; that first registration is what starts the plan’s days. Still no connection? See what to check when the eSIM has no signal abroad.
General questions have their own pages: how card payment works, refund policy, how to install an eSIM and help and FAQ.
