Questions and answers

How much does Drei charge for data in the UAE?

The table shows the cheapest official Drei option for about 5 GB in a week, every Drei data option for the UAE, and the source with the date we checked it.

Is the UAE included in Drei plans?

Not in the standard plans of the Drei price list we checked. In the UAE you pay a pass, a daily charge or a price per MB.

Can I keep my Drei number in the UAE?

Yes. In the UAE, keep the Drei SIM for calls and texts and use the travel eSIM for data. Turn off data roaming on the Drei line so it does not use data.

Where can I see all Drei roaming charges?

On the Drei roaming charges page, with every destination in the Drei price list.
