Etisalat eSIM in the UAE
Authorized Etisalat Dealer · same-day setup in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah
Get your Etisalat eSIM, no physical SIM needed
An Etisalat (e&) eSIM is your mobile line stored digitally in your phone instead of on a plastic card. You can take a brand new Etisalat postpaid line as an eSIM with a free VIP number, or convert your existing physical SIM to eSIM in the e& UAE app. As an Authorized Etisalat Dealer we set it up for you, often the same day. Choose a number or talk to a live Etisalat specialist.
Two ways to get an Etisalat eSIM
There are two routes, and we can arrange either:
| You want | What we do |
|---|---|
| A new Etisalat line | Pick a postpaid plan and a free VIP number, tell us you want it as an eSIM, and we set up the line so you activate it in the e& UAE app. No physical SIM, no waiting for delivery. |
| To move your current line | Convert your existing physical SIM to an eSIM in the e& UAE app, keeping the same number, plan and VIP number. |
| To switch from another network | Port your number to Etisalat and take it directly as an eSIM. We handle the port and the eSIM setup together. |
For the full device list and the exact in-app steps, see our Etisalat eSIM activation guide.
Why choose an eSIM?
- Instant. Activate in minutes in the e& UAE app, with nothing to collect.

Pair your eSIM with the right plan
