TripoSIM, the travel eSIM service from Dubai-based telecom group BroadNet Technologies LLC, today announced the expansion of its Arabic-language travel connectivity service for travelers across the Gulf and the wider Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. As international travel and the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage seasons drive record cross-border movement in 2026, TripoSIM provides instant mobile data in more than 200 destinations, activated in minutes from a QR code, with no roaming bills and no physical SIM to swap.

Travelers install a TripoSIM eSIM before departure, scan a QR code, and connect on fast local 4G/5G networks the moment they land, while keeping their existing phone number on their primary SIM. Plans start at $2.99, with no contracts and no passport registration required.

“Travelers from our region shouldn't have to choose between staying connected and paying shocking roaming fees, or hunting for a SIM kiosk at the airport in a language they don't speak. TripoSIM is built for the way people from the Gulf and MENA actually travel, with Arabic-first support, a way to keep your home number reachable for bank verification codes, and instant data the second you land. We are putting more than two decades of carrier-grade telecom experience into a product a traveler can set up in two minutes.”— Rabih Zubaidi, CEO of BroadNet Technologies

Built for how the region travels

TripoSIM pairs global coverage with features designed around the needs of Middle East and Gulf travelers:

• Arabic-first experience and support — service, checkout, and customer care in Arabic.
• HomeLink call and SMS forwarding — keep a home mobile number reachable over data so calls and bank verification codes still arrive.
• 200+ destinations on one account — a Dubai stopover, a European holiday, an Umrah trip to Makkah and Madinah, or a Gulf business tour.
• Instant QR activation — no store visit, no roaming charges; validity begins on first use.
• Multi-network routing — orders routed across multiple wholesale networks for competitive pricing and automatic failover.

A connectivity edge for calling apps

TripoSIM also addresses a known frustration for visitors to parts of the Gulf, where app-based voice and video calling can be restricted on some local networks. Because a travel eSIM carries data over an international carrier connection rather than a purely local one, travelers frequently find calling apps work where a local SIM would block them. Availability can vary and is not guaranteed, but messaging and data always function. TripoSIM has published a country-by-country guide to app-calling restrictions.
