Yes. Yango is the primary ride-hailing app in Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire, and reliable data is essential to book rides safely without negotiating cash prices. 

 Yes. You will generally have strong signal at the Diosso Gorge viewing point near Pointe-Noire, allowing you to share photos of the spectacular red cliffs instantly. 

 Coverage is very limited. You may find signal at the main camp airstrips or lodges like Ngaga Camp, but expect to be offline while tracking gorillas in the deep rainforest. 

 Yes. As the economic capital of the Republic of the Congo, Pointe-Noire has robust 4G LTE infrastructure suitable for business emails and video calls. 

 You must set your expectations correctly. You will have reliable 4G/LTE coverage in the capital, Brazzaville, and the main port/oil city, Pointe-Noire. However, 90% of the country is remote jungle. Once you travel inland (e.g., to Odzala-Kokoua National Park), you must expect the signal to be intermittent (3G) or non-existent. 

 To give you the best possible connection in this challenging environment, our eSIM connects to the country’s premium providers, typically MTN Congo or Airtel Congo. This ensures you get the most reliable and fastest available signal in the main populated cities. 

No! This is the single biggest advantage. Buying a physical local SIM card at Brazzaville (BZV) or Pointe-Noire (PNR) airport requires a mandatory, slow passport and ID registration process. Our eSIM is a roaming plan that bypasses all this bureaucracy. You can install it before you fly and be connected the moment you land. 

No. This plan stops working the moment you cross the Congo River to Kinshasa (DRC). These are two separate countries with different networks. If you are visiting both, you must check for a Regional eSIM that explicitly lists both the Republic of the Congo and the DR Congo as covered.
