布基纳法索 eSIM

Most flagship smartphones released since 2018-2019 support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and Samsung Galaxy S20 series and newer. Tablets, smartwatches and an increasing number of laptops also support eSIM. The fastest way to verify your specific device is to check Settings , if you see "Add eSIM" or "Add cellular plan" as an option, you're compatible.

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.

What to check before buying a travel eSIM

1. eSIM hardware: dial *#06# , if an EID number appears, you're compatible.
2. Carrier unlock status: phones bought on instalment plans may be locked to your home carrier. Most outright purchases are unlocked.
3. iOS version: iOS 12.1 or newer for full eSIM support.
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.

Travel-friendly phones that don't support eSIM

• Older Huawei devices without Google Services.

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.

不！这是安全性和便利性方面的最大优势。在瓦加杜古 (OUA) 机场购买实体本地 SIM 卡需要强制、缓慢且存在潜在风险的亲自护照登记流程。我们的 eSIM 是一项漫游计划，绕过所有这些官僚机构。您可以在飞行前安装它，并在着陆后立即连接。 

 此特定计划仅在布基纳法索境内有效。这是区域任务的关键点。如果您是“陆路旅客”或从阿克拉（加纳）或阿比让（科特迪瓦）驾车出发，您的转乘将在边境停靠。为了实现无缝的西非旅行，我们强烈推荐我们的非洲地区 eSIM 计划。 

 您必须设定期望。您将在首都瓦加杜古和主要商业城市博博迪乌拉索获得可靠的4G/LTE覆盖。然而，一旦您前往偏远农村或北部地区，您必须预计信号会时断时续（3G）或不存在。此 eSIM 适用于城市，不适用于深场任务（为此您需要卫星电话）。 

 在基础设施脆弱的环境中，这是关键。我们的 eSIM 连接到布基纳法索的主要提供商，通常是 Orange、Telecel 或 Moov Africa。 Orange通常被认为是首都最稳定的网络。 

是的。该连接不是为了流媒体，而是专门为了满足专业人士的需求。它在瓦加杜古足够稳定，可以发送/接收电子邮件、检查安全警报以及通过 WhatsApp 或 Signal 拨打电话，这些对于协调至关重要。 

 大多数现代手机都可以，但您必须在此处查看我们的具体列表：eSIM兼容设备，以便在购买前 100% 确定。 

是的。该国第二大城市博博迪乌拉索的信号覆盖可靠，让您可以立即分享标志性大清真寺的照片。

一般来说是的。您在班福拉瀑布 (Banfora Cascades) 附近会有信号，但在附近的辛杜峰 (Sindou Peaks) 徒步旅行时信号可能会中断。 

绝对地。 Google 地图对于安全导航瓦加杜古以及在主要高速公路上行驶之前检查交通或安全更新至关重要。 

覆盖范围有限。您可能会在纳津加主小屋附近收到间歇性信号，无法上传大象的照片，但预计丛林中会出现死区。
