OMR 13.900 · 20 GB · 30 days — Order on WhatsApp
Who this plan is for
Built for more than one person. Two or three travellers sharing a hotspot, or one person working from the phone for a month — calls, files and video meetings — will get through the thirty days on twenty gigabytes. It is materially cheaper per gigabyte than the ten, so the moment there is a second device on the connection this is the plan that makes sense.
What 20 GB actually covers
- Two or three people sharing one connection
- Working from the phone — calls, files, video meetings
- A hotspot you do not have to ration
The price
OMR 13.900 for 20 GB over 30 days, which is OMR 0.695 a gigabyte. Prices are in Omani rial and that is the whole amount — there is nothing added afterwards. Orders are taken on WhatsApp: pick the plan, pay by card or transfer, and the QR follows in a couple of minutes.
How it compares
Grand Tour is 10 GB for OMR 7.900 — less data for less money, and OMR 0.790 a gigabyte. Resident is 50 GB for OMR 32.900, which works out at OMR 0.658 a gigabyte. This one is OMR 0.695 a gigabyte. Bigger plans always cost less per gigabyte, so the question is only how long you are in Oman and how much of the time you will be away from WiFi.
What you get
A QR code by email and on WhatsApp, usually within two to ten minutes of payment. You add it in your phone's settings while you are still at home on WiFi; it installs and then sits dormant until you land. Validity starts the first time the eSIM carries data, so buying a week early costs you nothing.
It does not include an Omani phone number, calls or SMS. It is a second line alongside your own SIM, so your own number stays in the phone and WhatsApp keeps running on it. Calls over WhatsApp, FaceTime and Messenger all work, because those run on data.
Will your phone take it?
The handset needs eSIM support and must not be locked to a carrier. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM. Most iPhones from the XR onward, Samsung from the S20, and Google Pixel from the 3a will work.
