Recently, we were definitely SHOCKED 😲 (and not in a good way) when we connected to mobile network in Qatar after landing.
Our Finnish mobile operator's data roaming cost OVER 10 EUR / MEGABYTE! 💸 Within a mere moments, even before the traditional "Welcome to Qatar" message from an operator arrived our phone bills had increased by around 50 EUR.. 🫣
This rather unfortunate, and expensive, experience is one of the reasons why Open Road Tales has partnered with SAILY, a great provider of e-sims. Had we had an e-sim installed for Qatar, we would have had an instant connection with local network, allowing us the use of data with an affordable price!
Be smart, and use our link for Saily for your next travel! With our link, you will receive an extra 5% discount on their very affordable prices!
