Questions about UAE eSIMs
Can I buy a UAE eSIM from Nigeria or South Africa?
Yes. Message Oremi on WhatsApp or Telegram, say you are going to the United Arab Emirates, pick a data plan and pay from your naira or rand balance. The eSIM is ready in minutes, before you travel.
Will WhatsApp still work on my Nigerian or South African number?
Yes. WhatsApp stays linked to your own number. The eSIM only gives your phone mobile data, so your chats, groups and contacts carry on as normal.

Most iPhones since the iPhone XS and XR support eSIM, as do recent Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones. Check Settings, Mobile Data (or Connections, SIM manager) for an option to add an eSIM.

Can I make calls with it?
Travel eSIMs are data plans. Use WhatsApp for calls and messages while you are away.
