GCC eSIM prices at a glance

SoloSim sells 5 prepaid eSIM plans for GCC, priced from $8.80 to $72.80 and valid for between 1 and 30 days. The smallest is 1 GB for 7 days at $8.80; the largest is 10 GB for 30 days at $72.80. The best value per gigabyte is the 10 GB for 30 days plan, which works out at $7.28 per GB.

Network and speed in GCC

Every GCC plan connects over 3G/4G/5G networks. 1 of the plans slow down rather than stop when their allowance is used up: they drop to 1 Mbps for the rest of the validity period, so maps and messaging keep working. Traffic exits to the internet through UK, which is the location websites and apps will see you connecting from.

Which GCC plan for your trip?

  • A long weekend (up to 3 days): 1 GB for 7 days at $8.80.
  • Two weeks: 3 GB for 30 days at $25.50.

Plans are prepaid and data-only, so if you run low you top up from the app rather than paying overage.

How it works

  1. Pick a plan and pay online — no account or physical SIM needed.
  2. Scan the QR code we send you to install the eSIM on your phone. Check your phone is eSIM compatible.
  3. Turn on data roaming for the eSIM when you land and you're online.

GCC eSIM — frequently asked questions

How much does a GCC eSIM cost?

GCC eSIM plans on SoloSim start at $8.80 and go up to $72.80 for the largest plan. Prices are in USD and include everything — there is no activation fee and no roaming charge on top.

Does the GCC eSIM support 5G?

Yes. All plans for GCC connect over 3G/4G/5G networks, and your phone will use the fastest one available where you are.

How long is a GCC eSIM valid?

The validity period starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in GCC, not when you buy it, so you can install it at home before you fly. The longest GCC plan currently lasts 30 days.

What happens when I use all the data on my GCC eSIM?

Plans with a fair-use policy slow to 1 Mbps for the remainder of the validity period instead of cutting off. Top up from My eSIMs in two taps — added data shares the current expiry date. With low data alerts on, we warn you at 80% and 95%.

Can I keep my own number while using a GCC eSIM?

Yes. The eSIM carries data only; calls and texts keep working on your home SIM. Just make sure data roaming is off on the home line.

How do I install the GCC eSIM?

After purchase you get a QR code. On Wi-Fi, scan it from another device (or use the one-tap link on the same phone), then enable the new data line in Settings.
