Questions answered

Which eSIM for Africa is right for me?

If you're looking to buy an Africa eSIM, first consider how many countries you'll visit, the length of your trip, and how much internet you need.

A regional eSIM may be ideal if you'll be traveling to several destinations across the continent. If you'll be visiting just one country, a country-specific option may be a better fit for your itinerary. Compare coverage, validity, and data to choose the best option. Still deciding between several alternatives? Lia can help you choose the one that suits you best.

Which countries are included in my eSIM for Africa?

Coverage varies by product. There are regional eSIMs for traveling across mainland Africa, multi-region options covering different countries on the continent, and destination-specific Africa eSIMs for a single destination.

Before purchasing, always check the list of countries included with each product to confirm that it covers your entire route.

When should I install my eSIM?

You can install your Africa eSIMs before traveling and keep them on your device until you reach your destination. Follow the instructions included in your delivery email to complete the installation correctly.

Can I continue using WhatsApp and my usual number?

Yes. You can keep your primary SIM in the device and use the eSIM to connect to the internet during your trip.

Your WhatsApp can continue working with your usual number while you browse using your eSIM data. This way, you can keep your primary line and use your eSIM for data in Africa without changing your number.

Does it include unlimited calls, hotspot, or data?

It depends on the eSIM you choose. Most are designed primarily for mobile data and may offer packages by GB or with unlimited data. They also allow internet sharing via hotspot, although the terms may vary depending on the product.
