Questions
Which countries does the Africa plan cover?
21 African countries including Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and Egypt. For a stay in one country, the single-country plans for Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Egypt and Morocco are also listed on this page.
Will WhatsApp work?
Yes. The eSIM gives you mobile data, so WhatsApp messages and calls, maps, email and banking apps work as they do at home.
Will it work on my phone?
Most phones from the last few years support eSIM: iPhone XS or newer, Google Pixel 3 or newer, and Samsung Galaxy S20 or newer. The phone must be unlocked. To check, dial *#06#: if you see an EID number, your phone supports eSIM.
When do my days start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination, not when you buy or install it. Install it at home on Wi-Fi, then switch it on when you land.
Can I still use my normal number?
Yes. The eSIM adds data alongside your usual SIM, so your own number keeps receiving calls and texts. For calls to landlines and mobiles over data, use FiraPhone in your browser.
What if it does not work?
If the eSIM has not been installed, we refund it in full. Once installed, contact support and we will help you get connected.
