Africa (29 Countries) eSIM

Answer: Our Africa Regional Plan connects you in 29 countries with a single eSIM. It covers top destinations including South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, and Nigeria.

The Benefit: You don't need to buy a new SIM for each country. Whether you are on a safari in Kenya or a business trip in Nigeria, your connection travels with you seamlessly across borders.

Answer: Yes, in most popular areas! Cellesim partners with the best local providers (like Vodacom, Safaricom) to ensure you have connection near main gates, lodges, and campsites in major parks like Kruger, Serengeti, or Masai Mara.

Note: While coverage is generally good at camps, signal strength may fluctuate or drop deep in the wilderness. We recommend downloading offline maps before heading out for the day.

Answer: It works automatically and seamlessly. With our Africa Regional Plan, you don't need to change any settings when moving between the 29 covered countries (e.g., crossing from South Africa to Zimbabwe or Kenya to Tanzania).

How it works: Simply keep "Data Roaming" ON for your Cellesim line. Your phone will detect the border crossing and automatically connect to the new local partner network (like Vodacom, MTN, or Airtel) within minutes.

Answer: You can install your eSIM anytime before your trip (at home or at the airport). However, the validity of your plan (e.g., 30 days) only begins when you land in Africa and connect to a local network.

Recommendation: Install it before you fly to be ready, but only turn on "Data Roaming" once you arrive in one of the 29 covered countries.

Answer: Yes, absolutely. Your Cellesim eSIM provides data only, so it does not change your WhatsApp number. You can keep all your chats, groups, and contacts.

Important: If WhatsApp asks you "Do you want to update to the new number?", simply select "Keep My Number".

Answer: Yes! This plan supports the Personal Hotspot feature. You can freely share your internet data with your family, friends, or connect your other devices like laptops and tablets. 

Answer: Don't worry. You don't need Wi-Fi to top up. You can easily purchase additional data for your existing eSIM via our website before your current plan runs out completely. We recommend checking your usage regularly. 

Answer: Cellesim Africa plans are "Data Only", meaning they do not come with a local phone number. However, you can make uninterrupted calls to your family, hotel, or guide using apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Skype via the internet. 

Look up your phone’s exact model number with the manufacturer to see if it’s listed as compatible, and make sure your phone is not carrier-locked. Seeing an EID number or an “Add eSIM” option in your settings is a good sign, but some phones have regional restrictions. If you’re not sure, please contact our support team before you buy.
