Frequently asked questions
How much does the GCC eSIM cost?
The GCC 1GB 7Days plan costs $6.78 for 1 GB over 7 days, paid once with no hidden fees.
How do I activate my GCC eSIM?
Scan the QR code in your phone settings (Cellular/Mobile → Add eSIM) or tap Install in the eSIM TopUp app. Install on Wi-Fi before your trip; it activates when you arrive in GCC.
Will this eSIM work on my phone?
It works on any eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone — iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy models.
Can I keep my regular number?
Yes. The eSIM runs alongside your normal SIM, so you keep your number for calls and texts while using data in GCC.

How long does the QR code take to arrive after payment?
Hi Emma, your QR code usually lands in your inbox within a few minutes of payment — just check your spam folder if it hides. If nothing shows up, reach us at esimtopup.io/support and we'll sort it fast. – James

Is 5G supported or just 4G?
You get 5G on networks that carry it, and 4G everywhere else. No setting to change.

Do I need to install it before I travel or after I arrive?
Set it up before departure. Installing needs internet, and airport Wi-Fi is not always reliable.

Can I top up the same eSIM instead of buying a new one?
Top-ups are supported on most plans — look for "Top-up supported" on the plan page.

Does the validity start on purchase or on first use?
Validity starts on first connection at your destination, not at purchase.

Will this keep my WhatsApp active with my home number?
It does — your home number stays live for WhatsApp, calls and texts. The eSIM only carries data.
Hana H. · 1 year ago
Can I use it in nearby countries too?
That depends on the plan — country plans work in that country only, while our regional and global plans cover multiple destinations.
