Quick answer
Install your Burj eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before you leave for Qatar, then turn it on when you land in Doha. Installing an eSIM needs an internet connection, and doing it before you fly means you're not depending on a connection at the airport. In Qatar, the Burj eSIM uses Ooredoo and Vodafone.
Why install before you fly
- Downloading an eSIM needs an internet connection. At home you control the Wi-Fi; at the airport you don't.
- A QR code can often only be used once. If an installation gets interrupted, it's easier to sort out with us before your trip than after you land.
- Once it's installed, switching it on after landing takes a few seconds.
Before you leave
- Buy your Qatar plan, or a Middle East plan if you're visiting more countries in the region.
- Connect to Wi-Fi and install the eSIM from the Burj app, or with the QR code on your order page. See how to install a travel eSIM.
- Keep the link to your order page, in case you need the codes again.
When you land in Doha
- Turn the Burj line on and set it as your mobile data line.
- Turn on Data Roaming for the Burj line.
- Keep data roaming off on your regular line. See how to keep your number and WhatsApp.
