Typically the coverage is on 5G networks, but speeds may be throttled; Yoho Mobile additionally reports a 5 Mbps speed limit.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are:
Vodacom Congo: A subsidiary of Vodacom Group, offering 2G, 3G, and 4G services, including mobile money through M-Pesa.
Airtel Congo: Part of Bharti Airtel, providing 2G, 3G, and 4G services, along with Airtel Money for mobile financial transactions.
Orange RDC: A subsidiary of Orange S.A., delivering 2G, 3G, and 4G services, and offering mobile money services via Orange Money.
Africell DRC: Operating since 2012, Africell offers 2G, 3G, and 4G services, focusing on expanding network coverage and providing affordable mobile services.
As of now, the DRC does not have Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). Therefore, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the major MNOs listed above.
Travel eSIMs that provide a phone number and SMS service for DR Congo are available from several providers. GlobaleSIM, Roamify, LinkeSIM and TravelKon all offer plans that include a valid phone number and SMS capabilities. GlobaleSIM supplies a number with the +1 dialing code, supporting inbound and outbound calls and inbound SMS only; all of its plans run from $4.00 for a 1GB 7‑day data allowance to $30.00 for a 20GB 30‑day plan. Roamify’s DR Congo‑targeted and global Premium bundles use the +33 dialing code and support inbound and outbound SMS as well as voice calls, with prices beginning at $15.00 for a 1GB 7‑day data plan and extending to $105.00 for a 20GB 365‑day bundle. LinkeSIM offers Africa‑regional bundles with the +33 code, supporting full voice and SMS, priced around $19.90 for 10‑ or 20GB 31‑day plans. TravelKon’s Orange Global Explorer eSIM for DR Congo also uses the +33 code, provides both inbound and outbound SMS and calls and is priced at $42.01 for 20GB over 30 days. None of these plans supply a local DR Congo (+242) phone number; the numbers come from foreign dialing codes. Travelers who need local numbers must look elsewhere or use VoIP services over data.
