BetterRoaming eSIM Data Plans for Africa

BetterRoaming does not provide any unlimited data eSIM plans for Africa. The provider’s current offerings for the continent are fixed‑data plans that include specific data caps such as a 5GB allowance for 30 days and a 3GB allowance for 30 days.

If a traveler requires more data, they can choose a fixed data plan with a larger cap or add Pay‑as‑you‑go credit, though Pay‑as‑you‑go remains a credit purchase rather than an unrestricted data pool. Selecting a fixed data plan may be more cost‑effective for most users, unless the traveler is an extremely heavy data consumer who would prefer to top up as needed.

BetterRoaming does not provide eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability for destinations in Africa. Travelers who need a local number or SMS can use data‑only plans and rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage for communication. However, some African destinations may block or restrict certain VoIP services, so travelers should verify that the apps they rely on are accessible in the country before purchasing.

The BetterRoaming Global plan covers the following African countries: Benin, DR Congo, Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Algeria, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Lesotho, Morocco, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Réunion, Rwanda, Seychelles, Sudan, South Sudan, Eswatini, Chad, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda, Mayotte, South Africa, and Zambia.
