I subscribed to the 50 GB package
But with a little use it turned out to be quite the trick
I have used 750 MB, this is what my phone shows in the usage history
But in their application it shows that I have consumed 1.5 GB
For your information, I tried two other applications and did not suffer from this problem at all
So I tried this application because the package price was good
But it turns out that it is fake and you will only get half

Frequently Asked Questions

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Nigeria, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

There are more than 110 travel eSIM providers and over 2 700 prepaid data plans available for use in Nigeria, offering travelers a wide variety of options to choose from.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Nigeria?

Yes. Several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans for use in Nigeria. These plans vary in validity length, pricing and speed handling. Truely, Roamify, Yoho Mobile and Yesim all list unlimited data as a cap option, with validity typically ranging from one to thirty days. Pricing for these unlimited options spans from roughly $9.90 to $449.07 USD, reflecting differences in plan duration, network coverage and any speed throttling considerations. Most of the plans state that speed may be throttled during high‑traffic periods, and Yoho Mobile specifies a 5 Mbps speed limit; the other providers note throttling without a fixed limit. When selecting a plan, consider the expected usage and the acceptable speed tier to ensure the chosen offer meets your connectivity needs during travel.

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

MTN Nigeria: A subsidiary of the South African multinational MTN Group, MTN Nigeria is one of the largest mobile operators in the country, offering extensive voice and data services.
Airtel Nigeria: Part of the Indian telecommunications company Bharti Airtel, Airtel Nigeria provides a wide range of mobile services, including voice and data, with significant market presence.
Glo Mobile (Globacom Limited): A Nigerian multinational telecommunications company, Glo Mobile offers comprehensive mobile services and is known for its competitive data plans.
9mobile (formerly Etisalat Nigeria): A Nigerian telecommunications company, 9mobile provides mobile voice and data services, focusing on innovative solutions for its customers.

In addition to these major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Nigeria has recently seen the emergence of Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). MVNOs offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. For example, Vitel Wireless has become the country's first MVNO to be issued a mobile number series by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC). However, it's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure, not MVNOs.

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

Travel eSIM plans that provide a phone number and SMS services for use while visiting Nigeria are available from several providers. The two providers that offer such plans are GlobaleSIM and Roamify. Their offerings cover a range of data capacities—from 1 GB to 20 GB—validity periods from 7 days to 365 days, and prices that start around $5 and go up to $67, giving travelers flexibility in terms of size, duration and cost.

Both GlobaleSIM and Roamify include inbound and outbound voice calling and SMS capabilities in their plans. However, the phone numbers supplied do not use Nigeria’s local dialing code +234; instead, GlobaleSIM plans utilize the +1 code and Roamify’s Global Premium eSIMs also use +1, while Roamify’s Nigeria eSIM plan uses the +33 code. Consequently, while a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS is obtainable for Nigeria, it will be a foreign number rather than a local Nigerian one.
