Travel data guide

Using your eSIM in Africa Basic

One eSIM across 6 destinations

Use the same Africa Basic regional eSIM while travelling through Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Réunion, Tunisia and South Africa. You do not need to install a new eSIM each time you enter another included destination.

Moving between countries

Keep the Africa Basic eSIM installed and data roaming enabled as you travel between included countries. Your phone should reconnect to an available supported local network after arrival; network registration can take a few minutes.

Only visiting one country?

If your trip is only to Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Réunion, Tunisia or South Africa, compare that country's dedicated eSIM plans too. A single-country plan may offer a better combination of data, duration or price for your trip.
