The Ultimate eSIM for Middle Eastern Travels
If you frequently travel between various Middle Eastern countries, you’re probably familiar with the expensive data roaming costs. Even if you opt for physical SIM cards to save money, it still remains a cumbersome solution.
Use an eSIM for Business Trips
With a digital eSIM, not only do you benefit from cost-effective data roaming, but you also have the option to continue using your regular mobile number. This is particularly advantageous if you wish to maintain contact with family or colleagues back home during your travels.
An eSIM operates as a secondary SIM card. This means both your physical SIM card and your new digital eSIM can be active simultaneously. Thus, you can receive calls from home, while easily and affordably accessing the internet across the Middle East.
Compare with the price of local eSIM cards
If you are very price-conscious, you might want to compare the price of the regional eSIM card with local eSIM cards. It will often be cheaper to buy local eSIMs rather than regional ones. However, the downside of multiple local eSIM cards is that you have to actively switch between them when you cross country borders.
Fortunately, you can have up to 20 different eSIMs installed at once if you’re an iPhone user. Thus, it is quite easy to activate and deactivate the different eSIMs as you cross borders. But this hassle can be avoided, if you choose the regional eSIM.
