Frequently Asked Questions

No. Unlike local physical SIM cards in Saudi Arabia, which usually require passport copies and fingerprint registration at a store, international travel eSIMs can be purchased and activated fully online. With travel eSIMs like Gohub, there is no biometric registration or in-person paperwork required.
You should install your eSIM before departure while you still have a stable Wi-Fi connection. Most travel eSIM plans activate automatically once they connect to a supported Saudi network after arrival, so your validity period starts at the right time.
Most travel eSIMs are data-only and do not include a local Saudi phone number. If you need a local number for traditional calls or SMS, you may need a local operator eSIM from providers such as stc or Zain. For most travelers, data-only eSIMs are sufficient for apps like WhatsApp and FaceTime.
Yes. Messaging and VoIP apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, and Skype generally work well over mobile data. Call quality can vary during peak hours, especially in crowded areas like Makkah or Madinah during pilgrimage seasons.
Light users who mainly use maps, messaging, and browsing typically need around 1–5 GB per week. Travelers who upload photos, join video calls, or stream content should consider higher data plans to avoid running out mid-trip.
Coverage is generally strong in major cities, airports, and main travel or pilgrimage routes. In deep desert areas, mountainous regions, or very remote towns, speeds and coverage may be limited regardless of provider.
Yes, most travel eSIMs, including Gohub, allow hotspot and tethering at no extra cost. However, some unlimited data plans may apply fair usage limits when sharing data to other devices.
Yes. If your phone supports Dual SIM or Dual eSIM, you can keep your home SIM active for calls or SMS while using the travel eSIM for mobile data.
If you use up your data allowance, most reputable providers allow you to top up or purchase additional data without reinstalling a new eSIM. This can usually be done directly through the provider’s website or app.
Yes. For most international travel eSIMs to function properly, data roaming must be enabled for the eSIM line in your phone’s settings. This does not cause roaming charges because the plan is prepaid.

Common eSIM Issues and Quick Fixes

If your eSIM does not connect immediately after you arrive in Saudi Arabia, follow these quick checks in order:

1

Enable data roaming for the eSIM line in your mobile settings.

Set the eSIM as your primary data line so mobile data uses the Saudi Arabia eSIM.
