Find the best eSIM for Zimbabwe

In Zimbabwe, there are 13 travel eSIM providers and 67 prepaid data plans available. Although the selection is somewhat limited, travelers can still find a plan that matches their needs.

No unlimited data eSIM plans are currently available for Zimbabwe. Travelers should estimate their data needs based on the intended internet activities—such as browsing, streaming, and app usage—during their stay and choose a plan with a data allowance that comfortably covers those needs.

• Econet Wireless Zimbabwe: The largest telecommunications provider in Zimbabwe, offering extensive network coverage and a wide range of mobile services.

• NetOne: A state-owned operator providing comprehensive mobile services with significant coverage across urban and rural areas.

• Telecel Zimbabwe: The third-largest mobile operator, offering various mobile services with a focus on affordability.

In addition to these major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Zimbabwe has licensed its first Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), Dolphin Telecoms. MVNOs offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers, providing additional options for consumers. However, most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure, not MVNOs.

Currently, no travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS support are available for Zimbabwe on eSIMDB’s comparison. Travelers still have the option to purchase data‑only eSIMs that provide access to local networks, and they can use voice and messaging services through VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, or Skype over the data connection.
