Once purchased, the new QR code will be emailed to you instantly, allowing you to get your data allowance and stay connected for the remainder of your trip.
The current plans for Saudi Arabia are fixed-data plans ranging from 20GB to 100GB. While they are not unlimited, these large allowances are designed to provide freedom for heavy usage. If you do reach your limit, you can immediately purchase and activate a second eSIM to continue your high-speed browsing without disruption.

This allows you to stay connected with high-speed data without the privacy risks, mandatory passport uploads, or long retail queues.

By utilising the combined networks of Mobily, Zain, and Jawal, you can maintain a stable 5G or 4G signal while travelling between Mecca, Medina, and Jeddah, making it easy to manage digital tickets and keep in touch during the journey.
Absolutely. The SimCorner Saudi Arabia eSIM is perfect for using Google Maps or other navigation tools in AlUla and other regional tourist hubs.

Alternatively, you can use the hotspot feature on your smartphone to share your eSIM data with your tablet or laptop.
One of the best features of the SimCorner Saudi Arabia eSIM is that it requires zero paperwork.

It helps you bypass the need to connect to unreliable airport Wi-Fi for your eSIM setup.
We stand behind our connectivity. Our 100% money-back guarantee covers you if your device is confirmed to be eSIM-compatible and unlocked, yet you experience a verified network failure that our 24/7 technical support team cannot resolve. Simply reach out via the SimCorner App or email so our experts can assist with real-time troubleshooting or process a prompt refund.
