See what travelers are saying about their Africa eSIM experience. Real feedback from real users to help you pick the best plan for your trip.
“Good ”
“The signal looks great! But data transmission is terribly slow.”
“Satisfied, fast, smooth. I didn’t have any connection problems.”
“Update: they refunded later”
“I selected their best coverage plan for 10 GB and I had no coverage at all. I failed to set up at the airport, in the taxi. Then I connected for a while at the hotel beach, but I could not connect anymore again. Total waste of money, they refused to refund because I used 64 MB of data already. Then I purchased Yesim 1 GB and had the coverage immediately.”
“No good not recommending to other people using esim..4g sometimes 5g but i cant browse even Messenger Facebook and other can't use i follow all how to install my iPhone 14 can't use data my experience this link is not good i will go back mobimatter apps to buy esim expensive but its working here is scamers”
“Worst!!! Esim not working, I bought a 20GB Plan for South Africa and is it not Working”
“Calls & SMS didn't work at all. Could neither receive or make/send. The eSIM doesn't appear to support calls at all - it's a VoIP service via the app, but doesn't work anyway.
Many users have the same problems. Had I read the reviews before purchasing them I wouldn't have wasted my money.
Data was ok, sometimes slow even with good signal.”
“Terrible. Connectivity didn’t work; they basically just ripped me off. Cannot even reach their customer support. Instead of connecting me with EGYPT (which I paid for!), they connect with another polish provider with whom I can of course not use the internet. I’d give 0 stars, if I could. ”
“I bought the South Africa 10GB for 15days plan. Website is a little slow in order to buy the plan but once gone through, the esim setup was straightforward, able to share via a hotspot and worked fine.”
“very bad coverage, I've been traveling through Zimbabwe for a week and had a connection in exactly one place (Bulawayo) and also there not everywhere. Not even in touristy places like Victoria Falls it did work. Singly avoid this eSim from Airalo. I've also used there global eSim which worked just fine.”
“It didn't worked most of the time.
I bought sim card on airport (Unitel-T) for my wife and it was ok. Esim from MTX used the same network, but didn't want to work.”
“DID NOT WORK... Threw my money away, couldn't get support. don't waste your time, effort and money, so disappointed. Plan expired and not a MB used.”
“Catastrophic experience with this operator.
Several eSIM changes due to failures in data speeds. Service was limited to 3G with speeds not even reaching Edge levels. The operator’s response: Even if the local network allows 5G (which I confirmed on another line) and good speeds, everything depends on our (terrible) agreements. Nothing can be done.
Of course, the website advertised 5G or 4G for Egypt, which turned out to be false (from Luxor to Aswan, which was my route).
Horrible. I wasted hours providing evidence, having to start over each time with different representatives.”
“I bought the Africa pack and I was in Liberia and Sierra Leone and didn't have connection after 3 days not for a single minute. Not able to solve it and asked for my money back. I am still waiting ”
“Used Voye while traveling in africa, had bad experience regarding the roaming operators, connectivity, speed, etc, comparing to other travel companions that used other esims with similar prices.”
“This service is a joke and a lost of money lost. It is not working in Tunisia. 90% of the time is disconnect and useless. You can get 10GB from Orange, from the airport with 8 Euro, or 27GB for 12 Euro. Cheaper and working perfect. I contacted customer service for help or refund but they don't bother to help you. I received no replay. Don't get fooled by the owner that provide a review for every comment on this site. They really don't care about you, they care only in taking your money for nothing.
July 27, 2024 update: no reaction from customer service, no refund, they don't care!”
“I paid for esim 10gb now my phone samsung note 10 plus Is not compatible. So I lost the money.”
“Used the 7 days unlimited (1GB daily + 512kbps afterwards) plan. Was connected to Orange. Speeds slow even with LTE/5G almost all day even after 24hrs period. Messaging speed was good, sharing photos was slow but possible. Often got SSL errors, can't use banking apps at some times. Instead for the same money I recommend to buy 1 day plan and then physical sim or esim directly from Vodafone.”
“The eSIM never worked. Customer Service not responding. This is scam.”
“رائعة جداً”
“good with Orange , i like it ”
“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. ”
“Hello, I bought an eSIM for the Seychelles and it's not working. They are unreachable on their help site! I had to send 6 or 7 messages without any response! They know how to cash in but not refund or send a new QR code to troubleshoot... absolutely terrible after-sales service 👎 don't go with them, total scam!! And one star because I'm obligated to give at least that. Real scammers! They don't refund anything on top of that.”
“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
”
“Even in Namibia's capital city of Windhoek, there is no Powercom signal. Purchasing a Namibian eSIM with Globalesim would be like throwing money into the trash.”
“I will not use this eSIM provider any more, and wouldn’t recommend it. I bought 3GB for 14 days, but was able to use it only for 1 day, because Internet connection was not available even though all configuration was correct.”
“Doesn’t work, what a waste of money ”
“Did not work at all in the area around Victoria Falls.
Should also work i Zambia, but did not work there either.
But they where fast to refund. And did answer on email. ”
Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Africa
There are more than 200 travel eSIM providers and more than 5300 prepaid data plans available in Africa, providing a wide variety of options that makes it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.
Yes, several operators provide unlimited‑data eSIMs for travel across Africa. Earth Esim offers a 1–7 day plan from $8.99 to $44.99 USD, with tethering permitted but speeds capped at 1 Mbps and possible throttling; ASIMGO provides 1–30‑day plans ranging from $14.88 to $209.82 USD, where speeds may be limited to 5 Mbps and can be throttled; Roamify sells 1–30‑day unlimited options from $15.00 to $266.00 USD, allowing tethering and with potential speed throttling; Yesim offers 1–15‑day unlimited plans from $26.74 to $110.31 USD, also with tethering allowed and possible throttling. All are available on 5G networks. The overall price range for these unlimited packages spans roughly $8.99 to $266.00 USD, depending on validity period and provider.
Yes, several travel‑eSIM providers offer plans that include a phone number and SMS capability for use in Africa. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Esimtofly, LinkeSIM, JamboSim, Roamtell, and Roamify supply voice and SMS services; some of these plans also allow outbound calls and outbound SMS. Each plan lists a dialing code that is not an African code – most use +1 (North American) or +33 (French) numbers – so the phone number will not be a local African number but can still receive calls and messages from anywhere.
Prices for these plans begin around $6 for a 1 GB, 7‑day package and can rise to roughly $120 for a 20 GB, 365‑day subscription. Validity periods range from a week to a year, and all plans include inbound and outbound voice and SMS in most cases. Travelers can also obtain data‑only eSIMs if they prefer not to use a phone number; however, access to VoIP services such as WhatsApp or Telegram should be verified for a particular African destination before purchasing.
