I'm planning a trip and could use some advice about topping up mid-trip in Dubai. What's the best way to handle this with a GotoeSIM?

Great question! In short: install your eSIM on Wi-Fi before you travel, set it as your data line, and turn on Data Roaming (it never costs extra — the plan is prepaid). It activates automatically when you arrive, and you can top up in the app if you run low.

Did this on my last trip and it worked perfectly.

Worked great for me — connected as soon as I landed.

Topping up in the app was easy when I ran low.

The install-before-you-fly tip is key.
