“First time using it”
Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Botswana
There are more than 180 travel eSIM providers and more than 4, 500 prepaid data plans available for Botswana, offering a wide variety of options that make it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.
Yesim provides an unlimited data eSIM plan for Botswana that lasts one day. The plan allows tethering but the network speed may be throttled after a certain data threshold, which can affect high‑bandwidth activities. Prices for this unlimited option range from about $13.59 to $27.18 USD, offering a flexible range for short‑term travelers who need constant connectivity.
In Botswana, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) providing mobile services are:
Mascom Wireless: Established in 1998, Mascom offers extensive coverage across Botswana, reaching over 95% of the population.
Orange Botswana: Formerly known as Vista Cellular, Orange provides GSM, UMTS, LTE, and 5G services throughout the country.
BTC Mobile: Operated by Botswana Telecommunications Corporation, BTC Mobile offers GSM, UMTS, and LTE services nationwide.
Currently, Botswana does not have Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs).
Yes, travel eSIMs that come with a phone number and SMS capability are available for Botswana. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Airhub, and Orange Travel offer plans that include inbound and outbound voice calls and inbound and outbound SMS, with data allowances ranging from 1 GB for a week at about $6 up to 20 GB for a month at around $70, and typical validity periods from a week to a month.
All of these plans use foreign dialing codes—GlobaleSIM supplies a +1 number, while Airhub and Orange Travel use +33—so the numbers are not local Botswana identifiers. The numbers can be used to make and receive international calls and SMS, but they do not provide a local Botswana port. Travelers wishing to avoid foreign numbers can also opt for data‑only eSIM solutions, which are widely available.
