Stay connected in OMAN
Internet voice and video calls are filtered on local Omani networks, though since December 2024 travellers have reported WhatsApp calls connecting without a VPN; the regulator hasn't confirmed it. Our Oman eSIM exits to the internet in Europe, outside the country, so that filtering doesn't apply to it in the same way.
- Routes with an internet exit in Europe, outside Oman — the local VoIP filtering doesn't apply to it in the same way
- Messaging, photos and voice notes work normally in any case
- Calls: we have the routing, not our provider's confirmation, so we can't promise a specific call will connect Enforcement in Oman is variable, and less aggressive than in the UAE
