Bahrain eSIM FAQs
No, your plan only starts upon landing in Bahrain. Installing beforehand ensures you’re ready to go as the activation will happen automatically.
You’ll need WiFi for installation, so do it before departure and this way you will be connected as soon as you arrive.
If you run into any issues, our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide can help, or contact us directly.
If installed before your trip, it will activate when you land in Bahrain.
If installed after arrival, it goes live right away.
Having issues? Check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us for assistance.

If you're visiting more than one place, our regional Travel eSIMs offer broader coverage so you can roam freely across multiple destinations.
Connectivity Troubleshooting: Check our troubleshooting guide if your eSIM won’t connect. Still stuck? Hit up our support team and we’ll get you back online fast.
eSIM Installation Help: For help setting up your eSIM, visit our installation guide, or simply contact us - we’re happy to assist.
Other Inquiries: Have another issue? Head to our contact page and we’ll respond ASAP.

Installing early won’t use any data or start your plan until you arrive in Bahrain.
If your iPhone shows an activation error during pre-install, you can ignore often it - refer to our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for help.

Hands down, a travel eSIM beats roaming in Bahrain. Here’s why:
Cheaper Data: Pay local prices rather than roaming surcharges from your home network.
Instant Setup: No waiting for physical SIM delivery - your eSIM is ready the minute you land.
Full Expense Control: Track data usage and spending in - app, so you avoid surprise fees.
Traditional calls and SMS aren’t part of our Bahrain eSIM packages - they’re strictly data provision. To talk or text, use internet - based services (WhatsApp, Signal, etc.) with your eSIM data.
Most ZenSim eSIMs can be topped up directly inside the app. If you ever need extra data, additional days, or want to include a new destination on the same eSIM, the Zen Garden is where you can do it.
Simply log in, tap into the Zen Garden, and you’ll find the option to top up right there.
Extending your stay: Planning to be away longer than 30 days? You can buy multiple top ups ahead of time. They activate one after another, so there’s no risk of replacing your current plan.
More than one country: Many eSIMs now let you attach extra countries through a top up. For example, while using a Europe eSIM you can add Singapore as an extra destination. It will activate automatically when you land in Singapore.
Our Bahrain travel eSIM is strictly for data; it doesn’t come with a phone number or traditional call/SMS service. Use an internet calling app if you need voice communication.
Yes! Our eSIMs cover more than 200 countries, including Bahrain. We even provide regional eSIMs that span multiple countries in one package - head over to our Travel eSIMs page to learn more.
