Price per GB in Africa
On the 10 GB plan, 1 GB costs ≈ ₹658 (US$6.80), 20% less than on the smallest plan. If your trip lasts more than a few days, the smallest plan usually works out expensive: paying for a bigger data pack costs less than buying a second one.

Daily use is a guide for mobile data: HD video and sharing a hotspot from your phone use a lot more. If in doubt, take the next plan up. If you run short, you can top up the same profile in Africa.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a day of mobile data cost in Africa?
Among plans with a fixed data allowance, from US$0.85 a day, on the 3 GB plan for 30 days (US$25.49). The most expensive per day is 10 GB for 7 days: US$8.57. Short plans almost always cost more per day, and unused days are not refunded.
Does one eSIM work in all the countries in Africa?
Yes, in the 34 countries listed on this page: when you cross a border, your phone joins the local network on its own, with the same profile. If you are visiting only one country, the plan for that country is usually cheaper.
What if it doesn't work when you land?
Check, in this order: data roaming is on for the eSIM line, the eSIM is chosen as the line for mobile data, and airplane mode is off. On this network the APN is entered by hand on Android: wbdata. Still no connection? See what to check when the eSIM has no signal abroad.
General questions have their own pages: how card payment works, refund policy, how to install an eSIM and help and FAQ.
