Everything about your Africa eSIM
Use a Africa eSIM to stay connected
Staying connected makes every trip easier - live maps, ride-hailing, translation, mobile payments and sharing the moments as they happen.
A byOne Africa eSIM installs in about 90 seconds and connects automatically when you land, so you skip the airport SIM queue and start browsing right away. Buy before you fly, top up any time, and reuse it on your next visit.
How much travel data do I need in Africa?
How much data you'll need in Africa depends on a few factors: the Wi-Fi situation where you're staying, and how much time you'll be spending online.
Will you be traveling around nearby areas or on day trips where there won't be reliable Wi-Fi?
The great thing about eSIM data is that you can start with a small package and easily add more if you need it.
Will I pay roaming charges with a Africa eSIM?
Not a penny in roaming charges.
When you're using a Africa eSIM for travel data, your device connects directly to a local network instead of roaming, giving you prepaid data to use during your trip.
Africa eSIM questions
Common questions about coverage, activation, and data in Africa.
How fast does my Africa eSIM activate?
Most Africa eSIMs activate within a couple of minutes of installing the profile. Some plans start counting validity from installation, others from first connection to a local network — check the plan details before you buy.
Can I use my Africa eSIM alongside my regular SIM?
Yes, as long as your device supports dual SIM with eSIM. Keep your regular number for calls and texts, and use the byOne eSIM for data.
What happens if I use all my Africa data before the plan expires?
You can top up with additional data at any time from your byOne account, or purchase a new plan for your remaining trip.
Does coverage in Africa include rural or remote areas?
Coverage follows the partner network footprint shown on the plan, which is typically strongest in cities and major towns. Check the plan details for the specific network used.
