Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to help you get connected.

Getting started

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of inserting a physical card, you install a mobile data plan straight from your settings.

Does my phone support eSIM?

Not every phone does, so check before you buy. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked to use another provider's eSIM.

  1. iPhone: Settings → General → About. If you see an EID number, eSIM is supported.
  2. Android: Settings → About phone and look for EID, or dial *#06#.
See the supported devices list
Do I get a phone number with my eSIM?

No. Burj eSIMs are data only. Your regular SIM and number stay on your phone, so you can keep receiving calls and SMS on it.

Keep your number and WhatsApp while abroad
Can I use one eSIM on more than one device?

No. Each eSIM is tied to the device it's installed on and can't be active on multiple devices at the same time.

Installing your eSIM

How do I install my eSIM?

Make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi, then use whichever option suits you:

  1. In the Burj app: open your eSIM and tap Install.
  2. QR code: scan it from your phone's eSIM settings using another screen or a printed copy.
  3. Manually: on iPhone go to Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM; on Android go to Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM, then enter the codes from your order page.
See the step-by-step install guide
Where do I find my QR code after buying on the website?

After payment you're taken to your order page. It shows the QR code, a quick-install option for iPhone, and the manual codes for Android. Keep that page link so you can come back to it.

The installation failed or got interrupted. What should I do?

Check that you're on a stable Wi-Fi connection and try again from the same option. If it still fails, message us on WhatsApp with your order number before trying anything else. A QR code can often only be used once.

Plans and data

Are all plans unlimited?

Yes. All current Burj plans come with unlimited data. Plans differ by destination and validity period, which is shown on each plan before you buy. Speeds depend on the local network where you are.

Browse destinations
How long is my plan valid, and when does it start?

Each plan has a validity period in days, shown on the plan before you buy. When that period starts can differ between plans, so if you're not sure, message us before you install.

Packages are single-use and are void if they aren't used before they expire.

How can I check how much data or time I have left?

Open your eSIM in the Burj app to see what's remaining on your plan.

Connection issues

My eSIM is installed but I have no internet. What should I check?

Once you've arrived at your destination, go through these in order:

  1. Turn the Burj eSIM line on and set it as your mobile data line.
  2. Turn on Data Roaming for the Burj line.
  3. Switch Airplane mode on and off, or restart your phone.

Still not connecting? Message us on WhatsApp with your order number. Please don't delete the eSIM from your settings, as it may not be possible to reinstall it.

What to switch on when you land
My connection is slow. What can I do?

Speed depends on the local network and your location. Try switching Airplane mode on and off so your phone reconnects. If it stays slow, message us with your location and order number and we'll look into it.

Payments and refunds

Which payment methods can I use on the website?

Checkout accepts mada, Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay.

My payment failed or I didn't receive my eSIM. What now?

A failed payment is usually caused by insufficient funds, a card restriction or a network issue. Check your card and try again.

If you were charged but didn't get your eSIM, don't pay again. Message us on WhatsApp with your order number or payment receipt and we'll sort it out.

Can I get a refund?

Payments are final once the service has started. If there's a proven technical issue on our side, such as a faulty eSIM, you may be eligible for a refund. Contact us so we can check your order.
