An eSIM works by digitally storing your carrier’s profile in your device, eliminating the need for a physical SIM card. It uses the device’s built-in technology to connect you to cellular networks, and you can activate it by scanning a QR code or inputting carrier settings manually.

1. To add an eSIM:

• Go to Settings > Mobile Data > Add Data Plan.
• Scan the QR code provided by your carrier or manually enter the details.
• Once scanned, follow the prompts to activate the eSIM and assign it for data or calling purposes.

1. iPhones can support multiple eSIMs, but only a limited number can be active at a time. For example:

• On iPhone 13 and newer models, you can use up to 2 eSIMs at once (or 1 physical SIM and 1 eSIM for dual-SIM functionality).
• Older models, like iPhone XR and XS, support only 1 eSIM alongside a physical SIM.

To activate an eSIM on iPhone:

• Go to Settings > Mobile Data > Add Data Plan.
• Use the camera to scan the QR code provided by your carrier, which will automatically download the eSIM profile.
• Once downloaded, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the activation, and assign the eSIM as your default for data or calls.

After you buy your UAE/Dubai eSIM, Matrix sends the QR code to your email within seconds.
Scan it with your phone’s camera, wait for installation, and the plan will activate automatically once you reach the country.

Just pick your plan on Matrix, complete the payment, and the QR code lands in your inbox within seconds. Scan it once, let it install, and you’re done. The best part? You don’t have to activate anything manually, the UAE/Dubai eSIM switches on automatically when your phone picks up a local network.

UAE/Dubai eSIM plans start at ₹499, which is great if you just need basic data for maps, cabs, and messages. From there, you can choose anything from 1GB to 50GB, or even go for an unlimited plan if you’re staying longer or need heavier usage. Data plan runs for 7, 10, 15, or 30 days, so it’s easy to match it with your trip.

Buying a local SIM in the UAE/Dubai sounds easy until you’re actually there, long queues at the airport, passport checks, different plans, and a lot of back-and-forth. An eSIM skips all of that. You set it up in India, land in UAE/Dubai, and your phone connects to the local network on its own.

Yes, it does. The Matrix eSIM connects to DU, one of the strongest networks in the UAE, so you get coverage across all major cities, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah.

Yes, Matrix UAE/Dubai eSIM supports hotspot on most of the limited-data plans, so you can share your internet with your laptop or another phone whenever you need to. The only thing to keep in mind is that hotspot isn’t available on some unlimited plans because of the fair-usage rules in the Dubai.

Yes, you can recharge your Matrix eSIM anytime during your trip. If you’re running low on data or your plan is about to expire, you can simply buy another pack online and it gets added right away. No need to visit a store or switch SIMs, you handle everything from your phone, and your connection stays uninterrupted.
