No pocket Wi-Fi or SIM counter to find when you land in Kuwait, and nothing to return before you fly home. The eSIM is installed before you leave.
Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Kuwait travel data guide
A Kuwait eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Kuwait that you install before you fly. Plans in Kuwait run on Ooredoo and STC, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 18 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 0.1 GB to 20 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $1.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Middle East (5 countries) eSIM covers Kuwait and 4 other countries on one plan, from $4.99. The Asia Pacific eSIM covers Kuwait and 19 other countries on one plan, from $10.99. The Middle East eSIM covers Kuwait and 20 other countries on one plan, from $6.99. The Global eSIM covers Kuwait and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Kuwait, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Kuwait from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Kuwait FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Kuwait?
It connects wherever Ooredoo and STC have signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Kuwait, not at purchase. The plan selected above (1 GB) runs for 7 days from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Kuwait?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Is 0.49 GB enough for a few days in Kuwait?
0.49 GB is enough in Kuwait only for light use such as text messages, a few emails and booking a ride. It will not cover regular maps, social media or video. For normal use over a few days, the 1 GB plan for 7 days is a safer minimum.
Is there a one day plan for Kuwait?
There is a one day unlimited plan for Kuwait, but no fixed plan that lasts one day. The shortest fixed plans last 7 days, starting from 0.1 GB. For a single day, either works.
Does the Kuwait eSIM include calls?
No, the Kuwait eSIM does not include calls, SMS or a phone number. It provides mobile data only. You can call through apps that use data, and your own SIM remains available for regular calls.
How soon before my trip should I install the eSIM?
Install the Kuwait eSIM any time before your trip, as long as you are on WiFi. A day or two ahead is sensible. The plan's days only begin when it first connects to a network in Kuwait.
How do I know if my phone supports eSIM?
Check your model on our compatible devices page. The phone also needs to be carrier unlocked. If it was bought on a contract, ask that carrier whether it is locked before you buy a Kuwait plan.
Can I add data to a small Kuwait plan?
You can add data if the plan you bought supports top up, which some Kuwait plans do. Check the plan card first. If top up is not offered on your plan, you can buy a larger one and install it.
How do I check how much data is left?
Your phone's mobile data settings show how much the eSIM line has used since you installed it. Compare that with your plan size. On small Kuwait plans such as 0.1 GB, check often, because background app updates can use it up.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
