Africa eSIM: Common Questions
Quick answers to what travelers usually ask about Africa.
It's a SIM that exists as software rather than a plastic card. You install it by scanning a QR code, and your phone picks up a mobile connection in Africa from there.
Installing it a day or two before departure is a good idea — the plan itself typically only starts counting once it connects to a network in Africa.
Locked phones typically block eSIM profiles from other providers, so you'll need an unlocked, eSIM-capable device for this to work.
After installing the profile, turn on data roaming for that eSIM line once you're in Africa — it connects to a local network automatically.
Most phones from 2018 onward support eSIM, including recent iPhones, Pixels, and Galaxy models — check your settings under "Add eSIM" to confirm.
Yes, tethering is supported on the Africa plan, so you can share the connection with a laptop or another device.
Yes — if you run low, you can purchase another Africa plan directly, no need for a new physical SIM or a store visit.
Your device's native usage tracker covers this — no extra app needed to see remaining data on your Africa eSIM.
If the eSIM hasn't been activated, it's usually refundable within a 30-day window — full details are on our Refund Policy page.
Reach out through the Contact page any time — we aim to get back to you as fast as possible.
This keeps network performance stable for all users; once the daily allowance is used, speeds slow down instead of stopping outright, which is common across unlimited eSIM plans generally.
You can absolutely order more than one eSIM in a single checkout, which is handy if you're traveling as a group.
Double-check that the eSIM is turned on, selected for data, and that roaming is enabled for that line. A quick restart fixes most connection hiccups; if not, our support team can help via the Contact page.
