BNESIM eSIM Data Plans for Rwanda

BNESIM does not provide an unlimited data eSIM plan for Rwanda.

Travelers needing data in Rwanda can choose from fixed‑data options. For example, the Surf 20GB in Africa for 30 days plan offers 20GB of data for one month and the Surf 10GB in Africa for 30 days plan provides 10GB for the same period. These plans can be cost‑effective for most users, though very heavy data consumers might find a different provider or a higher‑data plan more suitable.

BNESIM does not provide an eSIM for Rwanda that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. The provider only offers data‑only plans for Rwanda, so travelers cannot receive calls or text messages on a local number. They can still use internet‑based communication services such as WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage, which operate over the data connection and allow voice and messaging without a traditional phone number or SMS service.

BNESIM currently offers eight single coverage data plans specifically for Rwanda. Additionally, they have ten data plans that include Rwanda as part of a broader multi-country coverage area. These plans range in price from approximately $14.89 to $427.47 and offer data allowances from 1GB to 20GB. Some plans do not have an expiry date, while others are valid for up to 30 days. Tethering is permitted with certain plans.
