Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in DR Congo
There are more than 190 travel eSIM providers and more than 6, 100 prepaid data plans available for DR Congo. With a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that suits their needs.
Unlimited data eSIM plans are available for DR Congo from several providers. Earth Esim, Yesim, ASIMGO and Roamify all offer plans with no data cap. The plans may include speed throttling, with Earth Esim limiting speeds to about 1 Mbps and ASIMGO to roughly 5 Mbps; the other providers do not specify a fixed limit but note that speeds may be reduced during heavy use. Prices for these unlimited plans range from about $8.99 to $266.00 USD, depending on validity and specific provider.
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 include both a phone number and the ability to send and receive SMS are available for the Democratic Republic of Congo from several providers. The most affordable options are offered by ESIM.DOG, AirPlans, Roamify, Esimtofly, EtravelSIM and LinkeSIM, with additional packages available from other operators such as RedEx eSIM, Orange Travel, Global Starlink, Simbye and Airhub. Plans provide inbound and outbound voice calls and bidirectional SMS, with dialing codes either in the United States (+1), France (+33) or, in the case of RedEx eSIM, locally in DR Congo (+243).
Prices for these travel eSIMs start at about $11.99 USD for a 1 GB plan valid for 7 days, and can rise to roughly $100 USD for a 20 GB package that lasts up to 365 days. Those packages that use the local +243 dialing code, such as the RedEx eSIM, allow calls and texts on the home national network, while the other providers deliver international numbers that can still operate within DR Congo. Travelers should confirm network compatibility and any local restrictions before purchasing.
