not much data of 1gb, but free is free.
i was given as i passed Dubai immigration… so if your doing a Dubai connect/layover… don't forget to ask.
I believe this sim is linked to your passport

Is that seriously your reason for the neg, sheik yer bouti?
Perfectly safe, will definitely 100% not harvest anything off your phone!
It's only linked to your passport, she'll be right ;).
What if someone put bad words about the King in social media, etc. Let's see what will happen next …
Behold your head
Stick to reading news and checking emails instead of watching stupid videos and 1gb is plenty
Ozbargain ok?
Phone is fine
Dubai airport has free wifi, so just bring a travel router and you will be ok.
easy way to track tourists! Just give them a free to sim and they will track themselves!
For day 1
Thats all we need, mwahahah (evil laugh)
Use secure VPN …
All website traffic monitored by Dubai officialdom?
I cannot stress this enough…..DO NOT use one of these. Stick with a regular travel SIM or use roaming provided by your Aussie carrier.
explain?
It's quite possibly a license for them to collect an awful lot of data. That's about all I can tell you for legal reasons.
I got one last year when i went there, its helpful booking uber from airport if you dont have roaming
Interestingly, it automatically cancels when you go back through border security on your way out.
it is given during immigration checkpoint and found out is pre-synced with your passport details and asks for your birthdate via SMS when you sign up, if you provide the wrong one it doesnt work. Creepy.
PASSGot one of these when I was there earlier in the year.
Tried to activate it and it didn't work. Support was useless. In the end it expired without ever working.
And as others have said, it's very much tied to your passport. Make of that what you will…
This is basically a state sponsored Man in the Middle attack. Anyone who can set themselves up between you and your data endpoint, be that email, http, whatever, unless your data is encrypted on your device before it is sent, it is free for them to see and collect. Sometimes called other things like eavesdropping, harvesting, etc.
Even if your data is encrypted they can likely figure out what you've been looking at using metadata including DNS records. And as mentioned above, physical location tracking.
A bit of a step up from the old stingray days where governments used a device to get similar information.
Use strong encrypted VPN, no IP leak, no dns leak, no webrtc leak, encrypted sni, no http exposure.
For DNS records, use encrypted sni (ESNI). Usually I use NextDNS that can block ads, trackers, malware, a lot of filters can be applied, logs in Switzerland (more privacy) that can be removed every 1 day or 7 days etc. or even no logs at all in NextDNS setting.
Check below if your sni is encrypted (look for sni = encrypted or plaintext) :
