In this article, we will provide you with a complete guide on what is an Etisalat eSIM and how to get 10GB of data. But first of all you have to read my reviews about this offer:
Is Etisalat 10GB Data offer Real?
When we buy Etisalat SIM, it gives us some free gifts. Most of the people who buy physical SIM cards get 1 to 2 GB data free. When I first went to UAE, I did not know about SIMs and I bought DU SIM first. You can read my review of the DU Tourist SIM card and review. Etisalat SIM card gives 2 GB data free for 1 day while if we buy eSIM, we get 10 GB data free.
Is this really given or is it a scam? Yes, Etisalat is actually providing 10 GB data and many of my friends have also got it. If you reach the airport and ask the Etisalat representative at Terminal 3 for eSIM, he will take your passport from you and after verification, you will be given a SIM card. As soon as you activate the SIM card, you immediately get 10 GB for 1 day. Remember that there is no time constraint on this data, nor will the speed be reduced.
