Questions
Which networks does the Nigeria eSIM use?
The Nigeria eSIM connects to Airtel, Glo and MTN. 5G is listed on Airtel; elsewhere it's 4G.
How much data do I need for a week in Nigeria?
About 3.5 GB if you use maps, messaging, socials and photos (our estimate: 0.5 GB a day). Our pick for 7 days is 5 GB · 30 days for $22.99.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for Nigeria?
For most trips, yes. The lowest daily cost is $0.47 a day (3 GB · 30 days for $13.99). 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 data plan for Nigeria?
Yes, from $22.99 for 3 days. Lower speed rate of 1 Mbps after 3 GB usage per day.
Do Nigeria 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 Nigeria 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.
