Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in DR Congo
With roughly 200 providers and about 6, 300 prepaid data plans, travelers in DR Congo have access to a wide variety of options that make it easy to find an eSIM that fits their needs.
There are unlimited data eSIM plans available for DR Congo that can be purchased from several providers. The options are Earth Esim, Yesim, ASIMGO, and Roamify. All of these plans allow tethering but the data speed will typically be throttled; Earth Esim caps the speed at 1 Mbps, while ASIMGO limits it to 5 Mbps. The price for these unlimited plans ranges from about $9 USD to more than $260 USD, depending on the desired validity period and network features.
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 eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS for the Democratic Republic of Congo are available, but only one provider offers a local number. RedEx eSIM supplies a local +243 phone number with inbound and outbound voice and SMS, a 20 GB data allowance, 15 calls, 50 SMS, and a 30‑day validity for about $35.89 USD.
Other travel eSIMs that cover the Democratic Republic of Congo use foreign dialing codes such as +1 or +33, so the phone number is not local to the country. These plans still provide voice and SMS capabilities, but the number will appear as originating from the United States or France. Travelers who need a local Congolese number should therefore choose the RedEx eSIM option.
