Long drives and phone signal in Oman
Distances in Oman are long, and travel is often by hire car or with a driver from Muscat to Nizwa, the mountains and the desert. Maps and positioning are important, since not every place can be found by address. Hotel wifi handles evening messages, but on the move you need your own data.
This eSIM uses the Omantel network. In Muscat, Salalah and other large towns the connection is usually good. In the Wahiba Sands, in the Jebel Akhdar mountains and on empty stretches of road the signal may be missing, so download maps for offline use.
A local SIM can be bought at the airport and in shops, but a passport is needed to buy one. With an eSIM you skip the counter and can start at once. The plan is data only, and your own number stays in the phone. Messaging apps work over data, but voice and video calls on apps can be restricted or unreliable in Oman, so be ready to call with your own plan if needed.
Along the main roads the connection is usually better than on side roads, so before a long drive make sure your navigation app also works without a network.
