An Unlimited Data Plan provides unlimited data throughout your plan validity. After reaching the daily high-speed data allowance, the connection speed will be reduced, while internet access will remain available for essential online activities.
After the high-speed data allowance is used, your speed is reduced to 5 Mbps. This is still fast enough for navigation, messaging, browsing, social media, and video calls, so you can stay connected throughout your trip.
All plan time calculations follow a 24-hour cycle. The validity period begins when the plan is activated, and daily data or speed limits reset every 24 hours from the activation time.
Install and activate your eSIM within 30 days of receiving the QR code. Your plan starts immediately upon activation, and all validity and data cycles are calculated from that time.

An eSIM is more convenient—it works directly on your phone without carrying an extra device. Plus, you can enjoy faster and more reliable connections.
The eSIM validity starts when you activate it, not when you install it. To avoid early activation, install it before travel but do not turn on roaming until you reach the UAE.
Most eSIMs allow you to check data usage in the iRoamly app or on our website. For eSIMs that don't support this, contact support@iroamly.com for your balance.
We recommend installing your eSIM a few days before departure. Your phone needs an internet connection to install. Do not enable roaming until you arrive in the UAE to avoid early activation.
No. iRoamly UAE eSIM provides data only. You can use calling and messaging apps like WhatsApp, Skype, or Telegram over your data connection.
