How long does it take to receive the UAE eSIM?

Your Commbitz UAE eSIM QR code is delivered by email within seconds after purchase.

Which network does the UAE eSIM use?

Commbitz UAE eSIM plans use the Etisalat network with 5G/4G coverage across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and the rest of the UAE.

Can I keep my home SIM active?

Yes. Your original SIM can stay active for calls and SMS while the eSIM handles UAE mobile data.

When does the plan validity start?

Your validity starts when you install and activate the eSIM on your handset, not when you buy it.

Connected before DXB immigration

Scanned the QR at the boarding gate back home and Etisalat 5G picked up the second wheels touched the runway. Careem was booked before we hit baggage claim.

Burj Khalifa to Abu Dhabi without a hiccup

Used the 5GB / 10 day for our anniversary trip. Maps, hotel WhatsApp, Sheikh Zayed Mosque reels — everything held up across both emirates.

Hotspot held up for a desert safari shoot

Tethered my laptop in Al Marmoom for an evening of editing. Speeds dropped a touch off-road but were solid the moment we were near the highway. Setup was three minutes on Pixel 8.

Bought the night before, no stress

QR landed in inbox in seconds. My home SIM kept getting OTPs, eSIM handled all the Dubai data. Painless first eSIM purchase.

Big savings vs the airport SIM counter

Compared what the DXB kiosk wanted with what I paid here — not close. Coverage from Marina to Old Dubai was consistent the whole week.

Worked from Sharjah, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi

Hopped across three emirates over five days and Etisalat just kept up. Zero buffering on Zoom from a Sharjah café. Will absolutely buy again.
