Travel-Data Tips for Dubai
- Prepare before departure: Use a compatible, unlocked device and follow your order's installation instructions with a stable connection. Travel-eSIM validity starts when activated by connecting to a supported destination network, not simply on installation.
- Match your allowance: Choose around maps, bookings and sharing. Unlimited plans have selected-tier high-speed and reduced-speed terms.
- Network performance: Coverage and speed depend on the selected plan, device and local conditions. 4G or 5G is not guaranteed at every location.
- Hotspot: Sharing depends on the selected plan, device and network. Shared usage consumes the applicable allowance.
- Calls and SMS: Do not assume a data-only travel eSIM includes a phone number or ordinary cellular calls and SMS.

Dubai eSIM Questions
Does one plan cover every AloOui destination?
No. AloOui's catalog spans 200+ destinations, but each plan has its own destination list. Match that list to your itinerary.
Can I get a refund for a connection problem?
Contact support for investigation. Original-payment refunds require a request within 30 days, an unused and unactivated eSIM, and a verified AloOui technical fault. After activation, credit may be available for a verified fault under the refund policy. Investigation can take up to five business days. This is not an unconditional money-back guarantee.
Can I top up during my trip?
Top-ups depend on the selected eSIM. Check the options for your order or ask support. Another purchase may require a new profile; instant, uninterrupted extension is not guaranteed.
Will I connect immediately on landing?
Prepare before departure, but connection depends on your settings, supported destination network and selected plan. Installation is separate from activation.
