Benin offers more than 60 travel eSIM providers and more than 500 prepaid data plans, giving travelers a wide variety of options that make it easy to find an eSIM that suits their needs.
Currently, there are no unlimited data eSIM plans available for Benin. Travelers heading to Benin should estimate their likely data usage based on planned activities such as web browsing, social media, map applications, and video streaming. Selecting a plan with a sufficient data allowance to comfortably cover these anticipated needs is recommended to avoid unexpected costs or service interruptions.
Benin's mobile telecommunications landscape is served by three primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):
MTN Benin: A subsidiary of the multinational MTN Group, MTN Benin offers a comprehensive range of mobile services, including voice, data, and messaging, with extensive 3G and 4G network coverage.
Moov Africa Benin: Part of the Maroc Telecom group, Moov Africa Benin provides mobile services such as voice, data, and messaging, supported by a robust 3G and 4G network infrastructure.
Celtiis: Operated by the state-owned Société Béninoise d’Infrastructures Numériques (SBIN) and managed by Senegal's Sonatel, Celtiis launched in October 2022, offering voice and high-speed data services over GSM and 4G+ (LTE-A) technologies, with plans to expand coverage further.
As of now, Benin does not have any Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs).
The answer is yes. Travel eSIM plans that provide a phone number and SMS for use in Benin are offered by GlobaleSIM and Roamify. The numbers are not local Benin (+229) numbers; they come in the US/Canada dialing code +1, which is a foreign code, and in the case of Roamify in the French dialing code +33. Both providers allow inbound and outbound voice calls, while GlobaleSIM gives only inbound SMS and Roamify offers inbound and outbound SMS.
Prices start around $7 for a 1 GB, 7‑day plan with GlobaleSIM and go up to $59–$67 for a 20 GB, 30‑day plan. Roamify’s single 30‑day, 20 GB plan costs $40 and includes 15 outbound calls and 50 outbound SMS. All plans offer data‑only connectivity as well as the VOIP‑based voice and SMS services available over the data network.
