Purchased an eSim from Global Yo advertised as $11 and that was the price in the shopping basked, but once I entered my credit card Global Yo charged 20$ on my credit card and sent an invoice in that amount.
There was never any warning that the price in basked was not the final price.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Ghana?

Ghana's telecommunications sector is served by several major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), each offering a range of services:

MTN Ghana: A subsidiary of the MTN Group, MTN Ghana provides extensive mobile voice and data services, including high-speed 4G and 5G connectivity, and operates the "MTN Mobile Money" service.
Telecel Ghana: Formerly Vodafone Ghana, Telecel Ghana offers mobile voice and data services, broadband internet, and fixed-line services, along with "Vodafone Cash" mobile money services.
AirtelTigo: Formed from the merger of Airtel and Tigo, AirtelTigo provides mobile voice and data services, as well as "AirtelTigo Money" mobile money services.
Glo Mobile Ghana (Globacom): A subsidiary of Globacom, Glo Mobile Ghana offers mobile voice and data services, contributing to the competitive pricing in the sector.

In addition to these MNOs, Ghana hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that provide mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. These MVNOs often cater to specific customer segments or offer niche services. However, it's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Ghana?

Yes, there are travel eSIMs that give a phone number and SMS capability for Ghana. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Roamify, Earth Esim, and MoreMins eSIM offer plans ranging from 1 GB to 20 GB of data, with validity periods from 7 days up to 365 days and prices that start around $5 and can go up to about $105. These plans include voice calls (inbound and outbound) and SMS, though the phone number is not a local Ghanaian number: the dialing codes used are +1 (United States), +33 (France) and +44 (United Kingdom). Because the numbers are foreign, calls and texts made from Ghana to other destinations will be routed through the provider’s network but will display the foreign number. Travelers looking for local Ghanaian numbers would need to seek additional local SIM options.
