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

Africell: Established in 2005, Africell is a leading telecommunications provider in Sierra Leone, offering a range of services including data, voice, SMS, and mobile money products.

In Sierra Leone, Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) are present, offering mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.

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

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS capability are available for Sierra Leone. Providers such as GlobaleSIM and Roamify offer a range of data caps, from 1 GB to 20 GB, with validity periods that span seven days up to 365 days. The plans include inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS; for most of the GlobaleSIM options SMS is inbound only while Roamify’s global premium plans support inbound and outbound SMS. All plans that use the Sierra Leone dialing code (+1) provide a local phone number that can be used while in the country. Roamify also offers a Sierra Leone‑specific eSIM with a foreign dialing code (+33), which means the number is not locally based in Sierra Leone.
