- Voice and video calls in some messengers may be restricted in the UAE by local rules; text messages work.
- Malls and hotels have Wi-Fi, but outside and on the road you'll want mobile data.
- For a short trip 3–5 GB is usually enough.
Does the eSIM work in Dubai and Abu Dhabi?
Yes, both cities and the rest of the country are covered by partner networks.
Will WhatsApp calls work?
