Avoid 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 travelling.
Keep your own number while the eSIM handles data only. Your SIM stays in place for calls, SMS, WhatsApp and bank codes sent to your existing number.
Choose a short plan for a Libreville city break or business visit. Longer plans suit trips combining the capital with Port-Gentil, or time exploring Gabon's forests and Atlantic coast.
Arrive with your eSIM already installed before departure, ready to connect in Gabon. You can connect before reaching passport control instead of searching for airport Wi-Fi on arrival.
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
Land in Gabon already online
Set it up on Wi-Fi the night before. The eSIM waits quietly until you arrive.
2
Pay and scan the QR code
Pay from your balance and get the QR code at once.
3
Turn it on when you land
Turn on data roaming and it finds a network itself.

FAQ
Using an eSIM in Gabon: your questions
Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# and look for an EID, which identifies your phone's built-in eSIM.
Yes, keep your own SIM for calls and SMS on your existing number. Your Gabon eSIM supplies data, and WhatsApp can keep using your current number.
Bank codes use your existing SIM, not this data-only eSIM. Keep that SIM active; receiving codes abroad relies on your home carrier and bank.
Your phone needs a hotspot feature to share mobile data. The Gabon eSIM supplies data only; a hotspot would use that data allowance.
Your bundle has a fixed data limit, not a renewed daily allowance. If you need more data, you can buy another plan from your prepaid balance.
You can buy another plan for the rest of your stay. Pay from your prepaid balance and use the new QR or manual activation code.
Select your eSIM for mobile data and turn on its data roaming. Restart your phone, then try connecting to Airtel again in Gabon.
