Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator(s) does the Bahrain eSIM use, and what does this mean for a traveller?
This eSIM connects to STC 5G networks in Bahrain. Connectivity depends on the operator's network availability in the area you are visiting.
Does the Bahrain eSIM also work in Saudi Arabia?
This is a single-country plan valid only in Bahrain. For travel to multiple countries, please look for our regional multi-country plans.
What data plan size is recommended for a trip visiting Manama and Muharraq?
As a rough guide, a 3GB or 5GB plan might be suitable for moderate use across both cities. Heavy users might consider a 10GB plan.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
