“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.”

“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!”

There are over 140 eSIM providers offering more than 5, 500 prepaid data plans in Tunisia. Because the selection is extremely large, travelers benefit from a wide array of options, making it easy to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Tunisia?

Unlimited data eSIM plans are available for travelers visiting Tunisia.

Prices across the different providers span from as low as $0.00 for the Firsty plan to $234.66 for the longest term Yesim offering, meaning the overall price range for unlimited plans is roughly $0 to $235. These options provide flexibility for users seeking unrestricted data usage while traveling in Tunisia.

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

Tunisia's mobile network infrastructure is supported by three major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):

Tunisie Telecom: The oldest and largest telecommunications operator in Tunisia, offering a comprehensive range of mobile services, including 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G data services.
Ooredoo Tunisia: A subsidiary of the Qatari telecommunications company Ooredoo, providing a wide array of mobile services, including 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G data services.
Orange Tunisia: Part of the multinational Orange Group, offering various mobile services, including 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G data services.

In addition to these MNOs, Tunisia has several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that provide mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. Notable local MVNOs include Lycamobile Tunisie, which uses Tunisie Telecom's network, and Asel Mobile. 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 Tunisia?

Yes, travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS capability are available for Tunisia. Providers that offer such plans include GlobaleSIM, Roamify, Esimtofly, Orange Travel, Earth Esim and Travel Kon. All of these plans provide a phone number that can receive and make calls (inbound and outbound where listed) and handle SMS messages. The telephone numbers are not local Tunisian numbers; they come from foreign dialing codes, either +1 (the United States) or +33 (France). The GlobaleSIM Tunisia plans use the +1 code and allow inbound SMS only, while all other providers use +33 or the equivalent dialing code and support both inbound and outbound SMS.

Price ranges start around $4 for a 1 GB plan valid for 7 days and can rise to roughly $105 for a 20 GB plan valid for 365 days. Validity periods vary from 7 days up to a full year, and data caps range from 1 GB to 100 GB. These plans can be purchased online and activated on most modern smartphones, enabling local use of international numbers for calls, SMS and VoIP applications that rely on the data connection.
