Africa eSIM

Africa eSIM questions

Which countries does the Africa eSIM cover?

29 in total: Botswana, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Eswatini, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Republic of the Congo, Reunion, Senegal, Seychelles, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia. A country that is not on that list is not covered — crossing into one means no data until you leave it again, so check your route against it before buying.

Which networks will I be on in Africa?

Your Ahoray eSIM connects to Mascom, Orange, Airtel, Etisalat. Your phone picks whichever is strongest where you are, exactly as roaming does — you do not choose or switch manually.

How long is a Africa eSIM valid?

Plans run from 1 to 30 days. Validity starts the first time the eSIM connects to a network, not when you buy it — so installing before you fly costs you none of your days.

Where does my internet traffic appear to come from?

Traffic on these plans exits in UK/NO or SG. Websites and apps will see that country rather than Africa, which occasionally matters for banking apps and streaming libraries. It is stated on every plan before you pay.

Will it work on my phone?

Your phone needs to support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. That covers iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and most Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer. If you are unsure, dial *#06# — if an EID number appears, the phone supports eSIM.

Can I keep my own number?

Yes. Your usual SIM stays in the phone and keeps handling calls and texts; Ahoray is added as a second line and carries the data. Nothing on your home plan changes.

What happens if I delete the eSIM?

An eSIM profile can be installed once. Deleting it from your phone, resetting the device or erasing all content destroys the plan permanently — it cannot be reissued and it cannot be refunded. If something is not working, write to us before deleting anything.
