Airalo eSIM Data Plans for Kenya

Airalo does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for Kenya. The plans that carry “Unlimited” in their name give 3 GB per day, after which the speed drops to 1000 kbps, so the data is capped.

Alternatives are available with fixed data allowances, such as a 50 GB plan valid for 30 days at $99 or a 20 GB plan valid for 15 days at $52.50. These examples illustrate the type of plans Airalo offers, but they represent only a subset of the full catalogue, and a fixed‑data plan may be more cost‑effective for heavy data users.

Airalo does not offer Kenya eSIM plans that include a local phone number or SMS capability. All Kenya eSIM options supplied through Airalo are data‑only, providing internet access without a direct voice or text service.

If you need to make voice calls or send texts while traveling in Kenya, you can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage over the Airalo data connection, which do not require a phone number or SMS functionality.

Airalo lists 9 single‑country plans and 40 multi‑country plans that cover Kenya. The plans range from $6.00 to $119.00, with data caps between 1 GB and 50 GB. Among these, 44 fixed‑data‑cap options provide a set amount of data for the validity period, while 5 daily‑data‑cap options allow usage up to a specified cap each day.
