Prepaid SIM / eSIM for Oman: how to buy a 4G internet chip?

Roaming fees

Some travelers think they can use their French phone plan when they travel abroad. That’s true in EU countries where roaming fees have been free for a few years.

Beyond that, it can cost you a lot of money!

Here are the roaming rates in Oman for the four main French operators.

Carrier	Roaming rates
SFR	€13.20 / MB
Orange	€13.31/MB
Free Mobile	€7.50 / MB
Bouygues Telecom	€10.24 / MB
