Coverage in Oman: what to know
Oman has switched 3G off apart from a few sites near Muscat International Airport, so phones here run on 4G and 5G. In Opensignal’s October–December 2025 data, Omantel won both coverage awards (8.3 of 10 overall, 5.2 on 5G).
Omantel won Opensignal's Coverage Experience and 5G Coverage Experience awards in the January 2026 report, while Ooredoo led reliability and download speed, and Vodafone led upload speed.

Questions people ask about a Muscat eSIM
Does an Oman eSIM work in Muscat?
Yes. An Oman eSIM runs on Oman’s own networks (Omantel), so the same plan works in Muscat and everywhere else those networks reach in the country. There is no separate Muscat plan to buy.
Is there good mobile signal in Muscat?
Oman has switched 3G off apart from a few sites near Muscat International Airport, so phones here run on 4G and 5G. In Opensignal’s October–December 2025 data, Omantel won both coverage awards (8.3 of 10 overall, 5.2 on 5G).
How much does an eSIM for Muscat cost?
On 4 Nov 2026, Oman plans started at $3.19 and went up to $72.59 for the biggest. NUM’s 7-day pick was 3 GB for $6.29. The shop always shows today’s price, and the price on the pay button is the price you pay.
Is eSIM available in Oman?
Yes. NUM’s Oman eSIM runs on Omantel. Your phone has to take an eSIM and be unlocked: dial *#06# and look for an EID number.
Do I need to buy a SIM card at Muscat International Airport?
No. Install the eSIM at home on wifi and switch it on as the plane lands at Muscat International Airport (MCT). There is no SIM counter to find and no queue.
How much data do I need for Muscat?
For a week of maps, rides, messages and photos most people use about 3 GB; for two weeks about 5 GB; for a month of social and video, 10 GB or more.
Will I be online when I land in Muscat?
Install the eSIM at home on wifi, then switch the line on as the plane lands at Muscat International Airport (MCT). You are online walking off the plane, with no SIM counter and no airport wifi.
Can I use it as a hotspot?
Hotspot works on most plans, so one eSIM can get a laptop or a travel partner online too.
Why does my eSIM show another carrier’s name?
Many travel eSIMs are issued by one carrier and roam on local networks, so your phone can show the issuing carrier’s name while your data runs on a local network. Keep data roaming on for the eSIM.
Will it work on my phone?
Dial *#06# on the phone you’re taking. If you see an EID number, it takes an eSIM. Every iPhone from the XR and XS on does, and the SE from 2020, as do Google Pixel 3 and later and Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. The phone must be carrier-unlocked. Not sure? Text PHONE and your model and we’ll check.
When do I install it?
At home, on wifi, before you fly. Then switch it on when you land. Tell us your landing day and we text you the switch-on steps that morning.
Does it come with a phone number?
No. It’s a data-only eSIM. WhatsApp, LINE, iMessage and FaceTime all work over it, and your home number can stay on for calls and codes.
What if it doesn’t work?
If we can’t issue your eSIM, we refund you in full. If it won’t install or connect, text us and we help you get connected.
