The best providers and prepaid eSIM plans in Qatar

UpeSIM 'Qatar eSIM' : the best cheap eSIM

This is the go-to choice for many travelers, offering 6GB of mobile data valid for 10 days post-activation.

It guarantees 4G LTE speeds on the Ooredoo network, with unlimited 2G speeds once the high-speed data cap is reached. This plan is data-only and doesn't include a phone number.

Airhub : the best value for 20GB

Adding to the list of top eSIM plans for Qatar in 2024, Airhub's 'Qatar 20GB - 30 Days' plan stands out for those in need of a substantial data allowance. Offering 20GB of data for 30 days at just $25, it provides a rather good price-per-GB value.

This plan supports 3G and 4G speeds and will roam on Vodafone network.

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

Yesim's "Qatar 20GB" eSIM plan offers a substantial data package for travelers to Qatar, with 20GB available for 30 days. It offers mobile data on Vodafone's network.

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.

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 can't secure your free Ooredoo eSIM, UpeSIM's plan would be our recommendation for travelers to Qatar. It's pretty inexpensive, and you will get the chance to roam with Ooredoo, which is the best network in the country.
