## Networks

- Oman: Omantel (5G)

## Which Oman eSIM plan do I need?

Match your trip length and how you'll use your phone, and the plan below is the right one.

- **A city break in Muscat:** 3 days of light use (maps, messages, email) is covered by 1 GB for 7 days.
- **A fortnight touring Oman:** 14 days of standard use suits 10 GB for 30 days, which gives you social media, music and some video from Muscat to Nizwa.
- **A business trip:** 7 days of standard use suits 5 GB for 30 days, so email and maps run all week.
- **A trip that also takes in other countries:** the [GCC Countries eSIM](/esim/gcc-countries) covers six of them, so one eSIM does the lot.

Most plans can be [topped up](/help/top-up-esim) if you run low, and the longest plan lasts 30 days.

## Will my eSIM have signal in Oman?

Your eSIM joins Omantel, and your phone picks it up by itself, with no network to choose. Omantel runs 5G where it's available, so messages and maps load well in Muscat, Salalah and beyond.

Cities and main roads are well covered; signal can drop in the desert and mountains, so download offline maps before you head to Nizwa or Musandam. Your data reaches the internet through Europe, a normal setup for travel eSIMs, and you can read more on our [IP address page](/help/ip-address-another-country). On daily plans, your data slows to 512 Kbps after that day's allowance, so pick a size that fits your busiest day.

## Using your phone in Oman: arriving, getting around and calls

- **Arriving:** Land at Muscat (MCT) or Salalah (SLL), switch on your eSIM and check that data roaming is on for that line. [Turn on data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) is quick to do. Install at home on Wi-Fi first, so there's nothing to set up at the airport.
- **Getting around:** Careem and OTaxi are the local ride apps, so have them ready before you fly. They are handy in Muscat, Salalah, Nizwa, Sur and Musandam.
- **Staying in touch:** WhatsApp is the messaging app to have ready here. Your home number stays on for calls and texts, and [keep WhatsApp and your home number](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number) explains how to use both.
- **Blocked calls:** WhatsApp and FaceTime voice and video calls are blocked in Oman, so send messages instead. Your eSIM can also route through Europe, which can help some services open.
- **Topping up:** Most plans can be topped up, so you can add data later without buying a new eSIM.

## Questions

### How much is an eSIM for Oman?

Oman eSIMs start at £3.99 for 500 MB a day over 1 day. A 5 GB plan for 30 days costs £16.99. Prices include any taxes and show in pounds, euros or dollars.

### Which networks does the Oman eSIM use?

Your eSIM connects to Omantel in Oman, with 5G where the network has it. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically.

### When does my Oman eSIM start?

Most plans start the moment your eSIM first connects to a network in Oman, so you can buy and install it at home before you fly. Install it within 180 days of buying.

### Can I top up my Oman eSIM?

Yes. Most Oman plans can be topped up from your eSIM page in two taps, with no new QR code. The plan table on this page shows which ones.

### Why does my IP address show another country?

Oman plans route your data through Europe, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Websites and apps may show that country's content; your speed and coverage in Oman are not affected.

### Does it come with a phone number?

Every eSIMology plan is data only. Keep your own SIM switched on for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime or any calling app over your eSIM's data.

### What if my plans change?

Cancel an eSIM you haven't installed within 30 days for a full refund to your card, in two taps from your eSIM page.

### Does Careem work with an eSIM in Oman?

Careem is one of the two ride apps for Oman, along with OTaxi. Download it before you fly, then book from Muscat (MCT) or Salalah (SLL) with your eSIM's mobile data switched on.

### Can I use WhatsApp in Oman?

Yes, for messages. WhatsApp messages work in Oman, but WhatsApp and FaceTime voice and video calls are blocked there, so stick to texts and photos to keep in touch with home.

### Is there 5G in Oman?

Yes, Omantel offers 5G in Oman, so a 5G phone can use it where the network reaches. Keep 5G switched on in your phone's settings to make the most of it.

### Which eSIM covers Oman and more countries nearby?

The GCC Countries bundle covers Oman and the other countries in its group, so one eSIM can work across more than one stop. The Middle East and Middle East & North Africa bundles also cover Oman, if your trip reaches further.

### Is there a daily plan for a short trip to Oman?

Yes. Pick a daily allowance, from 500 MB a day up to 10 GB a day, and choose how many days you need. Daily plans suit a short visit, while fixed bundles suit a longer stay.
