Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I activate my PAYG data upon arrival in Dubai or Abu Dhabi?

Just toggle your WalletRoam eSIM to "On" and enable Data Roaming. No manual plan activation is required; the eSIM will automatically register with Etisalat or du and start using your wallet credit.

What is the advantage of PAYG over a local UAE SIM?

Local SIMs often require passport registration and fixed-term contracts. With WalletRoam PAYG, you skip the kiosks and paperwork, getting instant connectivity the moment the plane lands.

Will my balance be used up by background apps?

Since you are paying per MB, we recommend disabling "Background App Refresh" in your settings to ensure your wallet credit is only used for the apps you actually need.

Can I use VoIP apps with my PAYG balance?

Yes. While the UAE has restrictions on standard WhatsApp/FaceTime calling, your data connection will work with government-approved apps like BOTIM or for messaging on all platforms.

How do I check my remaining balance in the UAE?

You can check your real-time wallet balance at any time through the WalletRoam App. If you're running low, just top up your wallet via credit card or Apple/Google Pay for instant more data.
