Networks by country
Plans connect to licensed partner networks in each country.
When to choose an Africa eSIM
- You're visiting two or more countries on the list. One eSIM covers the whole route.
- You cross borders by road or rail, where switching SIMs at each border is a hassle.
- You want one QR code and one top-up instead of several small plans.
- You're only in one country? A single-country plan is usually cheaper. Tap the country below to compare.
An Africa eSIM uses the same partner networks as our single-country plans, so speed and coverage are the same. Your phone joins a local network automatically each time you cross a border, as long as data roaming is on for the eSIM line.
How to set up your Africa eSIM
Set up your Africa eSIM in three steps
- Choose your plan. Pick the data and days for your whole route. Check your phone on our compatible phones list.
- Install before you fly. Scan the QR code from your email on Wi-Fi and keep the line off until you land.
- Connect on arrival. Turn the line on, set it as your mobile data line and turn on data roaming for it. It switches networks as you cross borders. See how to activate eSIM.
