A short-stay plan for Qatar: 2 GB/day of data for 1 day, at $5.18. It is sized for a stopover, a weekend or a quick business trip, when a full-length plan would mostly go unused.
The allowance is 2 GB/day every day and refreshes daily, so a busy day does not eat into tomorrow — across 1 day that is up to 2 GB in all.
That is a generous allowance: enough to post videos, make regular video calls, or run your laptop off the phone as a hotspot for email and light work.
Roughly what each day's allowance covers, if you spend it all on one thing (each day):
| Maps | about 410 hours |
| Browsing | about 34 hours |
| Social | about 7 hours |
| Video calls | about 7 hours |
| SD video | about 3 hours |
Estimates only — real use depends on the app, the quality setting and the network. Downloading maps and playlists on Wi-Fi before you go stretches any plan much further.
Of the 15 plans we sell for Qatar, prices start at $0.72, so this one sits in the lower half.
Need more? 3 GB for 15 days costs $6.40 — $1.22 more.
Staying longer? The cheapest plan that lasts beyond 1 day is 100 MB for 7 days, at $0.72.
Yes, with room to spare for video and photo sharing. It works out at about 2 GB a day, and the allowance refreshes every day.
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Qatar, not when you buy it. So you can buy and install it before you travel without the clock starting.
You get 2 GB/day each day for 1 day. The allowance refreshes daily, so unused data does not carry over, and a heavy day does not take anything from the next. Fair use: 512 Kbps.
Yes. This eSIM carries data only. Your usual SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts, and you choose which line uses mobile data.
No. It is a one-off purchase of $5.18. When the data or the 1 day run out, it simply ends — no card is kept on file to charge again.
Most iPhones from the XS onward and most recent Android flagships do, but the phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. On iPhone, look under Settings › General › About for "Digital SIM" or "Available SIM"; on Android, search Settings for "eSIM".
Buy the plan in the Go2Calls app and the eSIM is ready straight away. On your phone, add a new eSIM and scan the QR code the app shows you — on iPhone under Settings › Mobile Data › Add eSIM, on Android under Settings › Network › SIMs. When you arrive in Qatar, switch mobile data to the new eSIM and turn on data roaming for that line only. Your usual SIM keeps handling calls and texts.
