Questions

Are these the same plans as the UAE?

Yes. The Dubai page opens the UAE catalog and places in the city.

Do I need a local SIM in Dubai?

A travel eSIM covers maps, taxis, and chat apps. You can skip the airport SIM queue.

Does data work at DXB right away?

The plan joins a partner network after landing. Turn on the eSIM line and data when you leave the plane.

When should I install an eSIM for Dubai?

Install the eSIM from the QR code on Wi-Fi before you fly. Turn the data line on after you land. The plan card says when the validity starts.

Can I use a hotspot with an eSIM in Dubai?

Raqoon plans usually allow a personal hotspot. Turn on the modem for the eSIM line in the phone settings.

Do I need a passport to buy the eSIM?

You do not need a passport to buy on the site. The QR code arrives in your account and by email after payment.

Do I have to change my home number?

No. Your home number stays for calls and SMS. Data goes through the eSIM.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, a full refund until the eSIM is installed. After installation the plan cannot be returned or exchanged.
