Common questions
Which countries does the Africa (21 areas) eSIM cover?
One eSIM works across all the countries listed above. You keep the same eSIM as you cross borders, with no switching and no extra SIM.
Does the Africa (21 areas) eSIM work across borders?
Yes. One profile covers every country shown above, so you travel on the same eSIM without changing anything and without paying roaming at each border.
How much data do I need for my trip?
Most travelers use around 1 to 2GB a day for maps, transport and photos. A one to two week multi-country trip sits in the middle of the range above, and longer trips lean to the larger plans or unlimited daily.
Is the Africa (21 areas) eSIM unlimited?
Our daily plans give you unlimited data at full speed each day. If you prefer a fixed amount, choose a prepaid plan from the 1GB to 20GB, or unlimited daily range above.
Will the Africa (21 areas) eSIM work on my phone?
Yes, on any eSIM-compatible unlocked device, including iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and recent Samsung Galaxy models. It installs alongside your normal SIM, so nothing is removed.
Can I keep my number and use WhatsApp?
Yes. The Africa (21 areas) eSIM adds data only, so your regular SIM keeps your number for calls and texts. Messaging apps like WhatsApp and iMessage work over the eSIM.
What happens when I use up the daily full-speed data?
On unlimited daily plans you are never cut off. After each day's full-speed allowance, data continues unlimited at a reduced speed until the day resets, enough for messages, email and maps in every covered country.
Can I hotspot to my laptop or travel partner?
Yes. Tethering works on our plans, so you can share the connection with a laptop or a travel partner anywhere on the trip. Heavy hotspot use counts toward your daily full-speed data.
Is it too early to buy my Africa (21 areas) eSIM?
It is never too early. Validity starts on your first connection at your destination, not at purchase. Buy today, install whenever you like, and the plan sits ready until you land.
What if the eSIM does not work on my phone?
You are covered. Check the compatibility notes before buying, and if your eSIM will not connect and we cannot fix it, you get a full refund. Refunds are available any time until the eSIM is installed.
Pick your plan above, and we'll have you connected before you land.
Compatible with iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and recent Samsung Galaxy models. Data-only plan. No calls or SMS.
Our promise
Guaranteed to connect, or your money back.

If your eSIM won't connect and we can't fix it, you get a full refund. A real person replies fast, usually within the hour, before and during your trip.
