How much does a 10-day Africa eSIM cost?
For maps, messaging and socials over 10 days (about 5 GB), our pick is 5 GB · 30 days for $35.99.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for Africa?
For most trips, yes. The lowest daily cost is $0.70 a day (3 GB · 30 days for $20.99). You install it before you fly, your home SIM stays on for calls and texts, and nothing renews. If your home plan charges for roaming, compare its daily rate with this.
Is there an unlimited Africa plan?
Not at the moment. The largest plan is 5 GB · 30 days for $35.99, and you can top up whenever you choose.
Do Africa plans include a phone number?
No, they're data only. Your home SIM stays on for calls and texts, and messaging apps and internet calls work over the eSIM data.
Can I add data to my Africa eSIM?
Yes. When you run low, top up from My eSIMs on this site or in the app; the eSIM stays installed.
When does the plan start?
When your phone first connects to a network in the destination, not when you buy. Install it at home on Wi-Fi; the days start counting on arrival.
