## Networks

- Yemen: MTN (4G)

## Which Yemen eSIM plan do I need?

Trips to Yemen are usually about work, family or aid, so match your plan to how long you stay and how much you will use your phone.

- **A 3-day work trip:** pick 3 GB for 15 days for messages, maps, social media and a little music.
- **A 7-day family visit:** pick 5 GB for 30 days to keep up with family, with music and some video along the way.
- **A 14-day aid assignment:** pick 2 GB a day for 15 days if you plan to stream, or use your phone as a hotspot for a laptop.
- **A 30-day stay:** pick 20 GB for 30 days for a long assignment with standard use across the month.

If your stay runs longer than planned, most plans can be [topped up](/help/top-up-esim).

## Will my eSIM have signal in Yemen?

Your eSIM joins MTN, the network you'll use in Yemen, and it runs on 4G. Your phone picks MTN by itself, so there is nothing to choose or set up. Your data reaches the internet through Poland, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. You can read more on our [IP address help page](/help/ip-address-another-country).

Daily plans come with a set amount each day. Once you've used that day's allowance, your data slows to a basic speed, so keep an eye on heavy days. Not sure how much you need? Our [data guide](/how-much-data-do-i-need) shows typical use.

## Using your phone in Yemen: what to know before you land

- **Network:** Your eSIM connects to MTN, and the network runs on 4G. There is no 5G in Yemen on this network, so your phone will show 4G.
- **Arriving:** Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before you fly. When you land, switch it on and [turn on data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) for the eSIM line.
- **Getting around:** Sana'a, Aden and Socotra are the cities to plan your route around, so check how far you'll travel before you pick a plan.
- **Staying in touch:** Keep your home number on for calls and texts, and use [WhatsApp](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number) for messages.
- **Data:** Light use, such as maps, messages and email, is about 0.25 GB a day, so a week is about 1.8 GB. Standard use, with social media, music and some video, is about 0.7 GB a day. Most plans can be topped up.

## Questions

### How much is an eSIM for Yemen?

Yemen eSIMs start at £30.99 for 1 GB over 7 days. A 5 GB plan for 30 days costs £133.99. Prices include any taxes and show in pounds, euros or dollars.

### Which networks does the Yemen eSIM use?

Your eSIM connects to MTN in Yemen. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically.

### When does my Yemen eSIM start?

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

### Can I top up my Yemen eSIM?

Yes. Most Yemen 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?

Yemen plans route your data through Poland, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Websites and apps may show that country's content; your speed and coverage in Yemen 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.

### Is there 5G in Yemen with an eSIM?

Your eSIM runs on MTN, and in Yemen that means 4G only, with no 5G. Video and large downloads use far more data than messages, so keep that in mind when you pick a plan.

### Can I use WhatsApp in Yemen on my eSIM?

WhatsApp is the messaging app used in Yemen, so set it up at home before you leave. Messages are light on data, so a few gigabytes go a long way for chatting, maps and email.

### Can I use my eSIM as a hotspot in Yemen?

Yes, you can share your connection with a laptop or another phone. Hotspot use counts as heavy use in Yemen, so it draws data down quickly. Turn it on only when you need it.

### Is a daily data plan a good choice for a short work trip to Yemen?

Yes, a daily plan suits a short work trip in Yemen where your use changes from day to day, like busy meeting days and quiet evenings. Pick the daily allowance that covers your heaviest day.

### What happens when my daily data runs out in Yemen?

On a daily plan, once you use up that day's allowance, your connection slows right down for the rest of the day. The allowance resets the next day, so one heavy day won't use up the next.
