Frequently asked questions
How much does the GCC eSIM cost?
The GCC 1GB 7Days plan costs $5.99 for 1 GB over 7 days, paid once with no hidden fees.
How do I activate my GCC eSIM?
Scan the QR code in your phone settings (Cellular/Mobile → Add eSIM) or tap Install in the GotoeSIM app. Install on Wi-Fi before your trip; it activates when you arrive in GCC.
Will this eSIM work on my phone?
It works on any eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone — iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy models.
Can I keep my regular number?
Yes. The eSIM runs alongside your normal SIM, so you keep your number for calls and texts while using data in GCC.
