Data Passport

Hi all,

I’m travelling to Dubai in December for 5 days and i’m looking at purchasing 5 data passports to cover me for data roaming while i’m there, but i just have a couple of questions. 

Has anyone used data passports while in Dubai before?

If i buy them in England the day before travel will that work or will it use my first data passport for the night in England? If so, how do I activate them in Dubai without been charged £6 per MB of data. 

Thanks,

Jack

Data Passports are activated upon arrival at a Data Passport destination when the phone first connects. Therefore you can buy as many as you need before going w/o them expiring. This is the same for Go Roam passport destinations.

The first passport will end at midnight GMT+1 (BST) and then it's onto the 2nd passport.

If your trip is 5 full days you may need to buy extra for the day you arrive and the day you leave.

Thank you!

I think i understand, so just purchase 6 in the UK before i leave, as soon as land in Dubai and take my phone off aeroplane mode it will start using the passports?

How do you purchase multiple data passports. Only option I see is to add 1 and no ability to change quantity? Thanks
