very bad coverage, I've been traveling through Zimbabwe for a week and had a connection in exactly one place (Bulawayo) and also there not everywhere. Not even in touristy places like Victoria Falls it did work. Singly avoid this eSim from Airalo. I've also used there global eSim which worked just fine.
There are 16 travel eSIM brands and 69 prepaid data plans available for Zimbabwe. While the selection is not extensive, travelers can still find a plan that meets 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.
Yes, a travel eSIM that includes a phone number and SMS capability is available for Zimbabwe through Earth Esim’s Orange Global eSIM. The plan costs $24.00 USD, gives 51GB of data, and is valid for 30 days. It supports inbound and outbound voice calls as well as inbound and outbound SMS. The dialing code listed for the plan is +33, so the phone number originates from France and is not a local Zimbabwean number.
If a local number is preferred, travelers may need to look beyond the plans listed. However, the available data‑only eSIM still enables the use of VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage to make calls and send messages over the internet.
