Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Botswana
About 110 travel eSIM brands and over 1900 prepaid data plans are available for use in Botswana, offering travelers a wide variety of options that make it easy to find a plan that fits their needs.
Unlimited data eSIM options for Botswana are available from several providers. Truely offers 5G unlimited plans valid for 1‑30 days with prices ranging from $7.92 to $151.07, and while tethering is allowed, speed may be throttled during high‑usage periods. Yesim provides a 5G unlimited plan for one day at $14.15–$28.30, also subject to possible speed throttling. Airhub offers an unlimited 5G plan valid for 10‑20 days, priced between $37.00 and $47.00, with potential speed throttling. All three providers advertise unlimited use, but expect maximum speeds to be capped during peak usage times.
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).
Travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS capability are indeed available for Botswana. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Roamify, Orange Travel, Esimtofly, LinkeSIM, and TravelKon offer plans that provide voice calling and SMS features. For example, GlobaleSIM offers several Botswana‑targeted packages that include a phone number with inbound/outbound voice and inbound SMS, while Roamify’s Global Premium eSIMs support inbound and outbound SMS and voice on a foreign dialing code (+1). Orange Travel provides Botswana‑specific plans but the included numbers use foreign dialing codes such as +48 and +33, so the numbers are not local Botswana (+267) numbers.
Prices and validity vary widely. The cheapest options start at about $7 for a 1GB 7‑day plan, while a 20GB plan for 30 days costs around $57, and a 20GB plan for 365 days is roughly $105. Validity ranges from a few days to an entire year. If a local Botswana number is required, these plans would not satisfy that need because the numbers are issued from other countries; travelers who need only data can choose data‑only eSIMs and use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over data.
