Skip home-carrier data roaming, SIM swaps, contracts, airport kiosk queues and ID checks. You only need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone, with no physical SIM to collect before your trip.
Keep your own number while the eSIM handles data only. Your usual SIM stays in your phone for calls, SMS, WhatsApp and bank codes sent to that number.
Match your plan to your itinerary: shorter plans suit visits centred on Bangui. Longer plans suit extended stays or journeys including the forests around Dzanga-Sangha in the southwest.
Arrive with your eSIM already installed before departure, ready to connect at your destination. You can avoid making airport Wi-Fi your first task while heading towards passport control.
What it is not: a phone number. For a local number to receive sign-up codes or bookings, add a virtual number next to the data plan.
How it works

3
Turn it on when you land
Turn on data roaming and it finds a network itself.

FAQ
Using an eSIM in Central African Republic: your questions
Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# and look for an EID. An EID shows your phone has eSIM support.
Yes, you keep your own SIM and number for calls and SMS. WhatsApp stays linked to your existing number while the eSIM supplies mobile data.
Codes go to your usual number, not this data-only eSIM. Keep your own SIM active to receive texts from your bank during your trip.
Hotspot sharing uses your phone to pass mobile data to other phones or laptops. Any data shared this way comes out of a fixed bundle.
You can buy another fixed bundle if you need more data or time. Pay from your prepaid balance, then install the new profile using its QR code.
Turn on your eSIM and select it for mobile data. Turn on data roaming for that eSIM, then restart your phone and try connecting again.
Your usual SIM can still incur charges for calls, texts or roaming data. Use the eSIM for data and turn off your usual SIM's data roaming.
