Does my phone support eSIM in Kenya?

If your phone supports eSIM (iPhone XS+, Pixel 3+, Samsung S20+, etc.), it will work in Kenya. Our eSIMs use local carrier networks for the best coverage.

When does the data plan start?

Your data plan activates when you first connect to a network in Kenya. You can install the eSIM before your trip -- it won't start counting until you arrive and connect.

Can I receive calls and texts with the eSIM?

Our eSIM plans are data-only. You can keep your regular SIM active for calls and texts while using the eSIM for mobile data. You can also use VoIP apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Zoom for calls.

What network will I connect to?

Your eSIM will automatically connect to the best available network in Kenya. We partner with major local carriers for reliable 4G/LTE coverage.

We offer refunds for unused eSIMs. Once an eSIM has been activated (connected to a network), it cannot be refunded. Contact our support team for assistance.

Travel Tips

Kenya has good coverage in cities and along major routes. Safari reserves like the Masai Mara may have limited signal in remote areas, but main camps often have Wi-Fi. The coastal areas of Mombasa and Diani Beach have good coverage. Kenya is a leader in mobile money (M-Pesa), but tourists can use cash or cards. Budget 2-3GB per week for maps, messaging, and social media. Uber and Bolt are the safest transport options in Nairobi.
