Questions about Bahrain eSIMs
Will my ticket load at the gate?
Save it to the phone before you set out rather than trusting it to load in a queue.
A screenshot or a wallet pass opens with no bar at all, which is the only version worth relying on in a crowd.
How do we find each other between sessions?
Pick a landmark and a time before anybody goes through a gate, then treat a message as a bonus.
Expect less from a phone with that many people around it, and a plan does not change how many of them are standing between you.
Does everybody need their own plan?
A plan belongs to the handset it was added to, so one on your phone does nothing for anybody else's.
Sort them together before you fly and nobody loses the first evening of the weekend to it.
Can I stream the timing and the radio all afternoon?
It runs on mobile data like anything else, and it is also the quickest way through a plan.
Pick a size with room in it if you intend to have something playing for three days, and check what each one holds on its card above.
Do I need anything for the drive to the circuit and back?
The route and the drop off point, saved before you leave.
A taxi app that cannot find you is the same problem as no taxi at all, and the end of a session is when everybody wants one at once.
Questions about every Ryvo plan
Will it work on my phone?
Does it come with a phone number?
No.
Ryvo eSIMs are data only.
There's no phone number, and you can't make calls or send texts on the eSIM itself.
Can I keep my usual number?
Yes.
Keep your main SIM on for calls and texts, and set the eSIM as your mobile data line.
Your carrier's roaming rates still apply to calls and texts, so check them before you go.
Can I share my data as a hotspot?
It depends on the plan.
Each plan says whether hotspot is allowed before you pay.
What if I run out of data?
Add data from your order page if your plan can be topped up.
If it can't, buy another plan for the same destination.
What if my eSIM won't connect?
Email us and we'll work through it with you, starting with your phone's mobile data settings.
If we can't get it working, our refund policy explains what happens next.
Before you go
The coverage list on this page names Bahrain and what your plan runs on, and it answers for the country rather than for a grandstand or a gate.
A venue with a crowd in it is its own question on any network.
Screenshot the ticket before you leave for the circuit.
A barcode that needs loading at a turnstile is the one thing in the weekend you cannot argue your way past.
Agree where to meet after the last session and tell everybody twice.
A crowd leaving at once is the worst moment to start ringing round, and a dead battery at that point means a long walk.
Keep your usual SIM switched on for calls and texts, and choose the eSIM for mobile data.
