Kuwait Verified Traveler Reviews
skipped the sim line at KW Airfield Arrival Hub, super easy
First time trying an esim for Kuwait and honestly it was way easier than I thought. Had full 5G bars on Ooredoo pretty much everywhere in Kuwait Financial Center and Kuwait Waterfront Promenade. the 5% cashback in the wallet was a nice little bonus for our next trip too
Kuwait 여행용으로 가성비 좋고 로밍보다 훨씬 저렴해요
포켓와이파이 무겁게 안 들고 다녀도 돼서 너무 편했습니다. Kuwait Financial Center하고 Kuwait Waterfront Promenade에서 동행 폰이랑 핫스팟 같이 썼는데도 빠르고 카카오톡이랑 문자 인증도 그대로 됐습니다. Kuwait Waterfront Promenade 외곽 도로에서 잠깐 4G LTE로 바뀌긴 했지만 전체적으로 아주 안정적이었습니다.
