What is Ooredoo’s eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that allows you to activate a mobile plan without inserting a physical SIM. Ooredoo’s eSIM is tailored for maximum convenience—whether you’re a frequent flyer, tech-savvy user, remote worker, or simply someone who’s tired of losing or swapping SIM cards.

The service is open to everyone: Omani nationals, residents, expats, and even short-term visitors. All that’s required is a compatible device and a few simple steps via Ooredoo’s app or online shop. Thanks to Ooredoo’s streamlined eKYC (Electronic Know Your Customer) process, users can complete registration and activate their eSIM within minutes.
