It did not work. Neither Pelgo nor Frewie would respond and we got stuck without the sim. Do not recommend to buy this

Frequently asked questions

What is an eSIM and how does it work in the UAE?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan without needing a physical SIM card. In the UAE, eSIMs can be used with compatible devices to connect to mobile networks, enabling users to switch carriers or plans easily.
Which devices are compatible with eSIM in the UAE?
Most recent smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches support eSIM technology. Popular devices include the latest models of iPhones, Google Pixel phones, and Samsung Galaxy devices. It's important to check with your device manufacturer for specific compatibility.
How can I activate an eSIM in the UAE?
To activate an eSIM, you typically need to scan a QR code provided by your mobile carrier or enter an activation code. This process can usually be completed through your device's settings under the mobile network or cellular section.
Can I use an eSIM and a physical SIM card simultaneously in the UAE?
Yes, many devices support dual SIM functionality, allowing you to use both an eSIM and a physical SIM card at the same time. This feature is useful for managing personal and work numbers or for using local and international plans.
What should I do if I encounter issues with my eSIM in the UAE?
