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?

More than 100 travel eSIM providers offer over 2, 200 prepaid data plans in Nigeria, giving travelers a wide variety of options to find an eSIM that fits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Nigeria?

Unlimited data plans can be found from several eSIM providers that service Nigeria. Firsty offers a single‑day unlimited option for free, but the data stream is capped at 256 kbps and may be throttled, making it suitable primarily for light browsing. Truely, Roamify, Yesim and Yoho Mobile all provide unlimited data plans that last between one to thirty days, with the ability to tether devices; however, each of these plans may throttle speed during heavy use, and Yoho Mobile specifically caps the average speed at around 5 Mbps. The cost of these unlimited plans ranges broadly, from the free Firsty offer to about $449.07 for the longest‑validity plan from Yoho Mobile, while most providers’ unlimited options fall between roughly $10 and $151 per month. Travelers planning to stay in Nigeria can compare these offers to determine which pricing tier and speed profile best matches their expected data usage.

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 for Nigeria that include a phone number and SMS capabilities are available from two providers listed in our data: GlobaleSIM and Roamify. All of the plans use the dialing code +1, which is the code for the United States. Therefore, the phone numbers you receive are not local Nigerian numbers but foreign numbers that work when calling and receiving calls or messages within Nigeria.

Both providers offer plans where inbound voice calls are supported and inbound SMS can be received. Roamify plans add outbound SMS capability, while GlobaleSIM plans provide only inbound SMS. Prices begin around $5.00 USD for a 1 GB, 7‑day package from GlobaleSIM and climb to medium‑tier forecasted prices near $35.00 USD for a 10 GB, 30‑day plan from Roamify. Validity periods vary from a single week to a full year, with the longest Roamify offering a 365‑day plan.
