What data speeds do you typically get when using T-Mobile in UAE?
T-Mobile offers free 2G speed on the Simple Global plans. However, it can also be very slow.
Therefore, if you are planning to use T-Mobile data in UAE I’d recommend you get T-Mobile International Pass for faster speeds.
T-Mobile has three International Pass options that you can choose from:
| International Pass | Price | To Be Used In | |
| 1. | 512MB high-speed International Pass with up to LTE speeds and unlimited calling. | $5/day | 24 hours |
| 2. | 5GB high-speed International Pass with up to LTE speeds and unlimited calling. | $35 | 10 Days |
| 3. | 15GB high-speed International Pass with up to LTE speeds and unlimited calling. | $50 | 30 Days |

Lastly, T-Mobile is the best option for travelers who are going on short vacations/ stays.
So, if you are going for long stays like studying or permanent stays, there are other better options for that.
