Free SIM card for every tourist in Dubai

All tourists entering Dubai will now receive a free pre-paid mobile SIM card.
The free 'tourist sim pack' will be handed over to all tourists above 18-years-old at the Immigration counter. The traveller will be given the SIM card on the basis of their travel document, which includes the travellers' passport and a valid visit visa.

The pilot phase of "Connect with Happiness" project allows travellers with transit visa, visit visa, visa on arrival, and GCC citizens arriving at Dubai International Airport to take advantage of complimentary du Tourist SIM cards. The SIM card will provide the tourist three-minute talk time and 20 MB mobile data for free. The SIM card will be valid for 30 days, an entire month, or the duration of the tourist's stay.

The system works in sync with the immigration system, and will be deactivated once the tourist exits the country. Otherwise, the SIM is valid for 30-days only. The tourist can also top-up the sim for three packages- small, medium and large.

Currently, the SIM will be offered to passengers exiting Dubai Airport terminals 1,2, and 3.
However, in case the tourist changes his status to a resident of Dubai, he will not be able to convert the number into a permanent one.

"As per rules set by the telecommunication regulation authorities in Dubai, the SIM card will be deactivated in 30 days or when the individual leaves. As of right now, there is no mechanism in place to convert the temporary number into a permanent one."  

How to activate the free Tourist SIM package
Travellers will have access to the Tourist SIM package, which comes preloaded with a free SIM card, three flexi- minutes and three-day validity.

Once activated, tourists can then opt to add more calling minutes or data via three recharge options:

1.    Pay Dh25 and get 150 MB data - 10 flexible minutes, three-day validity
2.    Pay Dh55 and get 500 MB data - 20 flexible minutes, seven-day validity
3.    Pay Dh110 and get 2 GB data - 40 flexible minutes and 14-day validity

To activate the complimentary SIM, all travellers need to do is insert the SIM card, dial *122# and follow the instructions to get connected through du's outstanding service.

Promoters from du will also be present near immigration desks at Dubai International Airport to help visitors.
