How to verify eSIM support on your device

1. iPhone: Settings → Cellular → look for "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan". You can also dial *#06# , if you see an "EID" (32-digit number), your phone has eSIM hardware.
2. Android: Settings → Connections (or Network & Internet) → SIM Cards → look for "Download a SIM instead" or "Add eSIM".
3. EID check: most eSIM-capable Android phones show EID in Settings → About Phone → Status.

Tip: Even if your phone supports eSIM hardware, it must be unlocked (not carrier-locked) to use third-party eSIMs like Cellesim. Most phones bought outright are unlocked; phones from carrier instalment plans may require unlocking after the contract is paid off.

Almost every flagship smartphone released since 2019 supports eSIM, making it ideal for international travel. Compatible models include iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, plus a growing list of mid-range devices. If your phone has Settings → Cellular → "Add eSIM", you're ready to use a Cellesim plan abroad.

Travellers benefit most from eSIM because it eliminates the airport SIM-card queue, removes the need to swap your home SIM out, and lets you keep your usual phone number active for SMS verification. A Cellesim travel eSIM activates the moment you land , no shop visit required.

4. Android version: Android 9 or newer typically supports eSIM, though it depends on the manufacturer.
5. Region-specific variants: some Samsung models sold in Hong Kong or China are dual physical SIM with no eSIM , verify your specific model number.

Tip: if your current phone doesn't support eSIM but you travel often, an unlocked, mid-range eSIM-capable phone (e.g., Pixel 7a, iPhone SE 3, Samsung Galaxy A55) makes an excellent secondary travel device , pair it with a Cellesim plan and you have a full mobile internet kit for any destination.

Ya, di area-area utama. Anda akan mendapatkan jangkauan 4G/LTE yang kuat di kota-kota (Arusha, Dar es Salaam) dan di gerbang utama serta penginapan di Serengeti (seperti Seronera) dan di tepi Kawah Ngorongoro. Namun, saat Anda sedang melakukan "game drive" jauh di dalam semak atau di dasar kawah, Anda harus memperkirakan sinyalnya akan terputus-putus atau tidak ada sama sekali. 

 Paket khusus ini hanya berlaku di Tanzania. Ini adalah titik kritis. Jika safari membawa Anda melintasi perbatasan dari Serengeti (Tanzania) ke Masai Mara (Kenya), koneksi Anda akan berhenti. Untuk tur Afrika Timur yang lancar, kami sangat merekomendasikan eSIM Regional Afrika kami, yang mencakup  Tanzania dan Kenya. 

Ya, tentu saja. Rencana ini mencakup  daratan Tanzania dan pulau Zanzibar (Unguja) dan Pemba. Anda dapat menggunakan paket yang sama untuk melakukan safari dan kemudian terbang ke Zanzibar, di mana Anda akan mendapatkan jangkauan 4G yang kuat di Kota Batu dan di resor pantai utama (Nungwi, Paje). 

Ya, sesekali. Ini adalah pertanyaan #1 bagi para pendaki. Jaringan lokal (seperti Vodacom) telah memasang menara di gunung. Anda akan mendapatkan sinyal 4G yang sangat bagus di sebagian besar kamp utama di rute Marangu dan Machame (seperti Horombo Huts dan Barafu Camp), sehingga Anda dapat mengirimkan pesan "Saya berhasil!" pesan melalui WhatsApp. Anda tidak akan mendapat sinyal di lembah terpencil di antara kamp. 

Ya, 100%. Membeli kartu SIM fisik di bandara Kilimanjaro atau Dar es Salaam mengharuskan Anda menemukan kios (Vodacom, Tigo), menunggu dalam antrean panjang, dan melalui proses pendaftaran biometrik dan paspor wajib. eSIM kami 100% digital, tidak memerlukan registrasi tanda pengenal, dan dapat dipasang sebelum Anda terbang, sehingga Anda langsung terhubung saat Anda mendarat. 

 Paket khusus ini hanya berlaku di Uganda. Ini adalah titik kritis. Jika perjalanan gorila membawa Anda melintasi perbatasan ke Rwanda (NP Gunung Berapi) atau Anda sedang bersafari di Kenya (Masai Mara), koneksi Anda akan berhenti. Untuk tur Afrika Timur yang lancar, kami sangat merekomendasikan eSIM Regional Afrika kami (sering disebut paket "Afrika Timur"), yang mencakup Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, dan Tanzania. 

 Sebagian besar ponsel modern memilikinya, namun Anda harus memeriksa daftar spesifik kami di sini: Perangkat yang Kompatibel dengan eSIM untuk memastikan 100% sebelum membeli. 

Ya. Uber dan Bolt adalah cara paling aman untuk bepergian di Dar es Salaam dan Kota Zanzibar, jadi data yang andal sangat penting untuk menghindari penawar taksi jalanan. 

Sinyal kuat di pelabuhan, namun koneksi diperkirakan akan turun ke 3G atau hilang sebentar selama penyeberangan laut terbuka dengan feri Azam Marine. 

Cakupan umumnya tersedia di penginapan utama dan pusat penyelaman di Kepulauan Mafia dan Pemba, namun sinyalnya lebih lemah dibandingkan di pulau utama Unguja. 

Sangat. Jalan-jalan bersejarah di Kota Batu adalah sebuah labirin; memiliki data waktu nyata untuk Google Maps adalah cara terbaik untuk menemukan hotel atau Taman Forodhani Anda.
