## The best providers and prepaid eSIM plans in Qatar

### BNESIM 'Qatar eSIM' : the best cheap eSIM

BNESIM offers an affordable entry point for travelers who need basic connectivity without breaking the bank. Their Qatar plan provides 1GB of 5G data valid for 30 days, which is ideal for light users who mainly need maps, messaging, and occasional browsing. Use code ESIMS30 for 30% off.

### Maya Mobile : the best value for unlimited data

Maya Mobile stands out for travelers who need substantial data during their Qatar visit. Their Qatar Unlimited 15-day plan offers unlimited data on 3G/4G networks, making it ideal for stays up to two weeks. Note that "unlimited" plans typically have fair-use policies—check Maya Mobile's terms for any daily high-speed caps before purchasing.

### Yesim : another great (but more expensive option) for travelers staying 15-20 days

Yesim's Qatar unlimited eSIM plan offers a substantial data package for travelers to Qatar, with unlimited data available for 30 days. Note that most unlimited travel plans throttle speeds after a daily high-speed cap—check Yesim's fair-use policy before purchasing. Use code ESIMS20 for 20% off.

We think that plan is ideal for travelers staying up to 15-20 days and not in the need of too much mobile data, en if it can last for up to 30 days.

The plan is data only and its validity period starts when the eSIM connects to any supported network/s. Once you are out of data, this plan can be topped-up.

If you do not need unlimited data, Yesim offers variants of this eSIM plan for Qatar with more or less mobile data:

## Mobile operators in Qatar: speeds, network types and eSIMs capabilities

In Qatar, there are only two mobile careers: Ooredoo and Vodafone. Qatar is a small country. Overall, Ooredoo is better than Vodafone and we recommend you stick to eSIM MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) that have roaming agreements with Ooredoo.

Ooredoo network overview (best one) :

- Coverage & network types: has a 98% availability score with 3G at least. Ooredoo offers the best 4G coverage in Qatar. 5G is available in main cities.

- Speeds: Ooredoo has the fastest overall experience in Qatar. Ooredoo users have an average download speeds of 51 Mbps and upload speeds of 14 Mbps.

- Prepaid eSIM plans: See below.

Vodafone network overview (second) :

- Coverage & network types: Vodafone has a 97% availability score with 3G at least. Offers the second best 4G coverage in Qatar. 5G is available in main cities but not as advanced as Ooredoo.

- Speeds: Vodafone offers lower speeds than Ooredoo in Qatar. Users saw average overall download speeds of 32Mbps and upload speeds of 9.7 Mbps.

- Prepaid eSIM plans: Vodafone don't offer their own eSIM plans directly: Vodafone network is only offered through eSIM MVNOs (see below).

##
Summary

If you need a budget option, BNESIM's plan would be our recommendation for light users visiting Qatar. For heavier data needs or longer stays, Maya Mobile's unlimited plan offers excellent value.
