Your phone when EK242 lands in United Arab Emirates
The mobile networks in United Arab Emirates are Etisalat and du. Roaming on your home SIM works if your plan allows it, but a data-only eSIM is usually far cheaper per GB. Install it before you fly and switch it on when you land; your own number stays on for calls, texts and bank codes.
