6 Critical Things to Know About eSIM Before You Travel

Data-Only Access (No Local Number Provided)

Our eSIM packages are "data-only". This means standard GSM calls and SMS are not included. However, thanks to your internet connection, you can continue making voice and video calls via apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Skype, or Telegram.

Ensure Your Device is eSIM Compatible and Unlocked

Before purchasing, it is critical to verify that your phone is carrier-unlocked and compatible with eSIM technology. Most new generation iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel devices support eSIM.

Install Before Travel, Activate Later

We strongly recommend installing your eSIM profile while at home, using a stable Wi-Fi connection. Activate your data plan once you arrive at your destination to maximize your package's validity period.

Keep Using Your Current WhatsApp Number

Your WhatsApp number does not change even while using your travel eSIM abroad. You can message and call with your existing number. Stay in touch with family and friends as usual.

Share Your eSIM Data via Hotspot

Turn your phone into a Wi-Fi hotspot to share your eSIM internet with family, friends, or your other devices (laptop, tablet). This feature is a cost-effective solution for group travel.

We Are Always With You With 24/7 Support

eSIM setup and usage are quite simple. However, whenever you need help, you can reach our expert support team 24/7 via email or live chat. Travel with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got some questions before your Journey? Well here's everything you need to know before you go

Yes. You will generally have signal at the Uwinka Visitor Center and the start of the Canopy Walk in Nyungwe, allowing you to share photos of the rainforest.

Yes. Coverage is excellent in towns like Gisenyi (Rubavu) and Kibuye (Karongi) along the shores of Lake Kivu, perfect for relaxing after a trek.

Most modern phones do, but you must check our specific list here: eSIM Compatible Devices to be 100% sure before purchasing.

Yes. Yego is the primary ride-hailing app for moto-taxis and cabs in Kigali, and reliable data is essential to book rides safely at fixed prices.

Coverage is generally good near the lodges and the southern gate of Akagera, though signal may be intermittent in the remote northern plains during game drives.

Yes, in key areas. You will have a strong 4G signal in the main town of Musanze (Ruhengeri) and at the park headquarters for the morning briefing. On the trek itself, you will have a signal for the first part of the hike, but as you go deep into the rainforest to find the gorillas, the signal may become intermittent or drop. It is perfect for uploading your photos the moment you are back at the base.

To give you the best speed in the "Land of a Thousand Hills," our eSIM connects to Rwanda’s premium providers, typically MTN Rwanda or Airtel. MTN is widely recognized as having the fastest and most reliable 4G network, ensuring you stay connected in Kigali, Lake Kivu (Gisenyi), and on the main travel routes.

Yes, 100%. Buying a physical SIM card at Kigali Airport requires you to find the MTN/Airtel kiosk, wait in line (often after a late-night flight), and go through a mandatory passport registration process. Our eSIM is 100% digital, requires no ID registration, and can be installed before you fly, so you are connected the moment you land.

Yes, absolutely. Rwanda (especially Kigali) has one of the best 4G networks in Africa. Our eSIM provides high-speed, low-latency data, perfect for using Google Maps for navigation, ordering a Move (like Uber), or making clear WhatsApp video calls from your hotel.

This specific plan is valid only within Rwanda. This is a critical point. If your gorilla trek takes you across the border to Uganda (Bwindi) or you visit Goma (DRC), your connection will stop. For a seamless East Africa tour, we highly recommend our Africa Regional eSIM (often called the "East Africa" plan), which covers Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.
