Travel eSIM Saudi Arabia

Traditional calls and SMS aren’t part of our Saudi Arabia eSIM packages - they’re strictly data/internet. To talk or text, use internet based services (WhatsApp, Messenger, etc.) with your eSIM data.

Absolutely! You can install your Saudi Arabia travel eSIM up to 30 days before departure. Installing early means it will automatically activate once you land.

Rest assured, installing before you leave won’t start your data or count down your plan days until you arrive in Saudi Arabia.

If you see an activation error on iPhone when installing before arriving, you can ignore it-learn more in our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide.

No, the Saudi Arabia eSIM is data-only and excludes voice/SMS numbers. You’ll have to rely on data-based messaging platforms like WhatsApp or Messenger for calling.

Your eSIM will activate automatically when you arrive in Saudi Arabia. Though we recommend installing your Saudi Arabia Travel eSIM before you arrive (this is different to activating).

To do this, scan the QR code we provide or install the eSIM directly from the ZenSim app while connected to WiFi. Once you arrive in Saudi Arabia, your eSIM will activate automatically.

If you encounter any issues check out our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us directly ☺️

If installed before your trip, it will activate when you land in Saudi Arabia.

If installed after arrival, it goes live right away.

Hands down, a travel eSIM beats roaming in Saudi Arabia. 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.

Data and plan days only kick in when you arrive in Saudi Arabia. Installing earlier just prepares it for activation which happens automatically when you arrive in Saudi Arabia.

Install over WiFi before your trip to get connected from the minute you touch down.

If you have trouble connecting, see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or message us for assistance.

Yep! 99% of our eSIMs can be topped up within the ZenSim app with just a couple of clicks. If you run out of data, need more days, or you even want to add a new destination to the same eSIM, you can do all of this in the top up section in the Zen Garden in the app.

Log into the app, navigate to the Zen Garden to find your Saudi Arabia service, and you will see a button to up your eSIM right there.

Top up plan options: Saudi Arabia top up plans are the same as the plans on the website except with a 10% discount!

Extending a long trip: If you're travelling to Saudi Arabia for more than 30 days, you can add as many top ups as you need to your first eSIM to extend the days and data you have. Each top up will only take effect when the previous eSIM is expired so you can purchase the top ups any time you want without worrying about overwriting your existing plan.

Multi country top ups: You can now add multiple countries to most of our eSIMs via top up, so if you're in Europe for example and are stopping over in Dubai on the way home, you can add a Dubai top up to your Europe eSIM so you don't need to reinstall anything. Alternate country top ups will only activate when you arrive in the new country.

Once activated in Saudi Arabia, your eSIM typically won’t function outside that country.

If you're planning to hop between countries, we recommend checking out our regional Travel eSIMs - they’re made for multi-country use and cover most major regions.

You bet there is! Once you purchase an Saudi Arabia eSIM you will be able to access your unique referral URL which you can share with your travel buds.

If they click the URL and purchase a plan they will save A$5 on their order and you will receive a A$5 voucher on your account which will be automatically applied on your next purchase (provided they are a new customer of course).

You can track your referrals and access your referral URL in the ZenSim app. Check out our terms for more info.

It might, but only if you're on an unlimited plan and only after you pass 3GB in a single day - which is well above what most people actually use (under 1GB a day on average).

Once you hit that 3GB mark, your speed drops to 1Mbps until midnight, then resets back to full speed for the new day.

If you're on a fixed-data plan like 10GB or 20GB, none of this applies - there's no daily limit, just use your data as needed until the plan runs out. We'll notify you beforehand, and you can top up right away in the ZenSim app.

Your plan won't start using data or counting down days until you actually arrive in Saudi Arabia - so there's zero risk in installing it early.

As long as you've already installed your eSIM, it'll automatically activate the moment you land, and that's when your days and data officially kick off.

From there, your eSIM expires when either your data or your days run out, whichever comes first (unless you're on an unlimited plan, in which case it's purely down to the days). So if you grab a 30-day plan, it'll run out 30 days after you arrive in Saudi Arabia, not 30 days from when you bought it.

Simplest way is to pop your phone into our eSIM compatibility checker - it'll tell you straight away whether it's good to go with our Saudi Arabia eSIM and the networks behind it.

If you're still unsure after that, get in touch with us and we'll help you figure it out. And just in case your phone isn't compatible after all, our refund policy means you'll get a full refund - so go ahead and grab a plan without the worry.

You're covered - our 100% money back guarantee exists for exactly this situation.

Trip cancelled? Phone not eSIM-compatible? Plans changed and you just don't need it anymore? All of these are covered.

The full details sit in our refund policy, but in short: if you can't install or use the eSIM, we'll give you a full refund. You shouldn't have to pay for something you can't use.
