Yes — it supports eSIM. Yes. The iPhone 16 supports eSIM, so it works with an eJurs travel eSIM in Oman — install it before you fly and land already online.
The iPhone 16 specifically
iPhone 16 units bought in the US have no SIM tray and run on eSIM alone. Models sold elsewhere take one nano-SIM alongside an eSIM. Two eSIMs can be active at the same time.
What this means for your trip with a iPhone 16
The eSIM is added as a second line, so your own SIM and your own number stay exactly where they are. You set the eSIM as your data line for Oman and leave your usual number for calls and texts.
The service is data only — no calls, no SMS and no Omani number. WhatsApp calls, FaceTime and Messenger all run over data, so those keep working normally.
Check your own handset in under a minute
Open the dialer on your iPhone 16 and dial *#06#. If an EID appears alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM.
It must also be free of a carrier lock. That is the one thing worth confirming before you fly — a locked handset will refuse the profile, and finding out at the airport is too late.
Installing an eSIM on a Apple phone
- Open Settings, then tap Cellular (or Mobile Data).
- Tap Add eSIM, then Use QR Code.
- Scan the QR code we send you on WhatsApp.
- Label the plan — 'eJurs' works — and finish setup.
- Under Cellular Data, choose the eJurs line, and turn Data Roaming on.
The QR code arrives by email and on WhatsApp, usually within two minutes of payment clearing. Do this at home while you are still on WiFi: the profile installs and then sits dormant until you land.
Plans
Plans start at OMR 2.500 and are all data only. Validity begins the first time the eSIM carries data, not on the day you buy — so installing it a week before you fly costs you nothing.
