Install it at home on Wi-Fi. It stays off until you switch it on for data at your destination.

Your usual SIM stays in for calls and texts. Set the Veela eSIM as your line for mobile data.

The assistant answers in your language at any hour, and a person picks up anything it can't fix.

Voice and video calls on some apps, including WhatsApp, are restricted in the UAE; messages work.
Careem and Uber are the easiest ways to get around Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
In desert safari areas, signal can disappear away from main roads.

Can I make WhatsApp calls in the UAE?

Voice and video calls on some apps are restricted by UAE rules, whatever SIM you use. Messages and most other apps work normally.

Does it work in Oman?

No, the UAE plan covers the UAE only.

When does the plan start?

When the eSIM first connects to a network in United Arab Emirates. Installing it at home doesn't start the clock.

Is my phone compatible?

Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number and your phone is unlocked, it works. See the compatibility checker for common models.

Can I top up?

Yes. From your account, add data to the same eSIM without reinstalling it.
