Skip home-carrier data roaming, physical SIM collection or swaps, contracts, airport kiosk queues and ID checks. You only need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone to use your travel data.
Keep your own number while the eSIM carries your travel data. Your own SIM stays in your phone for calls, SMS and bank codes, while WhatsApp keeps your existing number.
Match your plan to your trip: short plans suit Manama stopovers and Bahrain Grand Prix visits. Longer plans suit family stays with outings to Muharraq and the Bahrain Fort.
Arrive prepared with your eSIM installed before departure, ready to connect in Bahrain. Aim to get online before passport control, instead of hunting for airport Wi-Fi after landing.
What it is not: a phone number. For a local number to receive sign-up codes or bookings, add a virtual number next to the data plan.
How it works
Land in Bahrain already online
Set it up on Wi-Fi the night before. The eSIM waits quietly until you arrive.
2
Pay and scan the QR code
Pay from your balance and get the QR code at once.
3
Turn it on when you land
Turn on data roaming and it finds a network itself.

FAQ
Using an eSIM in Bahrain: your questions
Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked to use this plan. Dial *#06# and look for an EID, which shows eSIM support.
Yes, keep your own SIM in your phone for calls and SMS. Your Bahrain eSIM supplies data, while WhatsApp keeps your existing number.
Bank codes go to your existing number, not your Bahrain data eSIM. Keep your own SIM turned on; receiving codes relies on your home service.
Your phone needs a hotspot feature to share mobile data with your laptop. Any data you share comes out of the same travel data allowance.
You can buy another Bahrain data plan using your prepaid account balance. Choose a data amount that covers the rest of your trip.
You can buy another plan for the extra time you spend in Bahrain. Its validity starts on first connection, not when you pay.
Select your travel eSIM for mobile data and turn on its data roaming. Restart your phone if it still will not connect to STC.
