Gulf Arab States Fixed Data Plans - Prepaid High-Speed Travel Data

Wraptel’s Gulf Arab States Fixed Data Plans give travellers prepaid high-speed mobile data across six supported Gulf countries with access to 5G/4G/LTE networks where available - with no daily high-speed caps, no contracts, no subscriptions, and no monthly fees.

Choose from a 5GB plan valid for 15 days, a 10GB plan valid for 20 days, or a 20GB plan valid for 30 days for Gulf travel, vacations, business trips, multi-country itineraries, religious travel, and longer stays. These plans are ideal when you want a set high-speed data allowance for maps, messaging, email, browsing, translation tools, travel apps, video calls, hotspot sharing, and everyday online access during your trip.

Plans work with an active WraptelDataSIM eSIM or physical SIM Card. Once purchased, your Gulf Arab States Fixed Data Plan is assigned to your WraptelDataSIM account and can be activated on your compatible device. Most activations are completed within minutes during business hours, but please allow up to 12 hours in rare cases.

If you do not already have an active WraptelDataSIM, start with an International Data eSIM or International Data SIM Card, then add your Gulf Arab States Fixed Data Plan through your online account.

Quick Answer: What Is a Gulf Arab States Fixed Data Plan?

A Gulf Arab States Fixed Data Plan is a prepaid high-speed mobile data package that gives you one set data allowance for use across six supported Gulf countries. Instead of receiving a daily high-speed allowance, you choose 5GB, 10GB, or 20GB and use it at high speed until the allowance is used or the selected plan duration expires.

Unlimited Data Plans

Wraptel Unlimited Data Plans operate at high speeds 5G/4G/3G/LTE.

We offer four types of Unlimited Data Plans:

  • Ultra: 3GB of high-speed data (5G/4G/LTE/3G) per day, followed by reduced speeds for the rest of the day.
  • Premium: 2GB of high-speed data (5G/4G/LTE/3G) per day, followed by reduced speeds for the rest of the day.
  • Standard: 1GB of high-speed data (5G/4G/LTE/3G) per day, followed by reduced speeds for the rest of the day.
  • Basic: 500MB of high-speed data (5G/4G/LTE/3G) per day, followed by reduced speeds for the rest of the day.

If a user exceeds the daily high-speed data limit, Wraptel reserves the right to reduce the speed to 768kbps (384kbps for both upstream and downstream). Once speeds are reduced, high-speed data (5G/4G/LTE/3G) will be restored at 12:01 am the following day (GMT +8).

Once activated on your device, the Unlimited Data Plan will count continuously.

  • SIM Card: Inserting the SIM card into your device & connecting to network will start the consumption period for your Unlimited Data package.
  • eSIM: Turning on the eSIM & connecting to network will start the consumption period for your Unlimited Data package.

For example, if you purchase a Europe - Unlimited Data 5-day package and insert the SIM card in your device on 1 Oct (10 am GMT+8), the expiry date will be 6 Oct (10am GMT+8). Each day is counted as a full 24-hour period.


Fixed Data Plans

Fixed Data Plans provide 5G/4G/3G/LTE high-speed data for the entire amount of data purchased. The Fair Usage Policy does not apply to Fixed Data Plans.

Once activated on your device, the Fixed Data Package will count continuously.

  • SIM Card: Inserting the SIM card into your device & connecting to network will start the consumption period for your Fixed Data package.
  • eSIM: Turning on the eSIM & connecting to network will start the consumption period for your Fixed Data package.

The Fixed Data package will expire when the purchased days end or the data limit is used up.

For example, if you purchase a Europe Fixed Data Plan with 5GB and a 30-day expiry, and activate the SIM card on 1 Nov (10am GMT+8), the expiry date will be 1 Dec (10am GMT+8). You will have 30 days to use the 5GB of data. If you consume the 5GB before the 30 days are up, the data package will expire, and you can add a new package thereafter.


Multiple Plans

Only one data package can be used at a time on the Data SIM. Multiple plans are not allowed simultaneously.

We recommend activating your Data SIM/eSIM only upon arrival at your travel destination to avoid activation errors. Refunds will not be issued if the Data Plan is activated on the wrong day.

International Data SIM Card/eSIM & Data Packages

The Wraptel International Data SIM Card/eSIM will expire 1 year after inactivity. During this period, you can add Data Packages at any time. Each new Data Package purchase will reset the expiry date of your SIM card/eSIM to 1 year from the date of purchase.

Data packages are valid for 6 months from the date of purchase. Any unused data packages will expire after 6 months, unless otherwise specified.

For eSIMs:

Switch the eSIM to 'ON' to activate the data package and begin the usage period.

For SIM Cards:
Insert the SIM card into your device to activate the data package and start your data usage period.


Once you arrive at your destination, either insert the SIM card into your device or turn the eSIM 'ON.' Please allow a few minutes for the setup process to complete automatically.

Your device should display the signal and carrier name. Once this happens, you can try accessing the internet.

If you're unable to connect to the internet, please try the following steps:

  1. Power off your device, then turn it back on.
  2. Alternatively, turn airplane mode off and then back on.
  3. If the issue persists, manually configure the APN or select the network operator manually.

For instructions on APN Settings and Network Operators, click here.

We’ve found that the following steps resolve the majority of common issues. Please follow them carefully:

  1. Reboot your device by powering it off and on again.
  2. Check your network settings and ensure that the preferred network mode is set to 5G/4G/3G.
  3. Enable both cellular data and data roaming in your device settings.
  4. Check the APN settings: The APN should automatically configure itself, but if you're having data issues, you can manually enter the APN. Ensure the correct APN is set as active.
  5. Network connection: Your SIM should connect to the network automatically. If it doesn’t, manually search for and select one of the approved networks.
  6. Test all carriers under all APNs (remember to reboot after changing the APN).

If you’re still experiencing difficulties, don’t hesitate to contact our support team for further assistance.


APN & Networks for All Countries

Refer to the list of APN and Mobile Networks for your specific country.

Unlimited Data Packages

The Unlimited Data Packages will be counting continuously once activated in your device. Inserting the Data SIM Card in your device or turning the eSIM 'ON' will begin the consumption period of the Unlimited Data package.

For example, if the data plan that is purchased is a Europe - Unlimited Data 5 day package, and the Data SIM is activated in your device on 1 Oct 2018 (10am; GMT+8), the expiry date will be 6 Oct 2018 (10am; GMT+8). Every 24 hours will be counted as 1 day.

 

Yes, the SIM card is compatible with mobile hotspots, including WIFI and MIFI routers.

Please note that Wraptel only provides support for the SIM card itself, not the hardware. A basic understanding of how to configure your device settings is required. The Data SIM will not automatically populate the settings in routers or hotspots; these settings must be manually configured. Additionally, some routers may reduce the internet speed, which is outside of our control.

To ensure proper functionality, the device should be set up with the following configurations:

  • Network Mode: Set to 5G/4G/3G
  • Network Carrier: Manually select the appropriate carrier
  • APN Settings: Manually configure the APN

If you're unsure about configuring your device, feel free to contact our support team. While we cannot guarantee a solution for all devices, we will make every effort to assist you. Please send us the details of your device, and we'll do our best to help.

For more comprehensive guidance, we recommend consulting your device's manual or reaching out to the device manufacturer.
