Senegal 20GB eSIM

The 1 GB plan lasts 7 days and costs €3.39, the cheapest option but only workable for a short visit. If your stay is just one day or 1 day, that plan still leaves unused days. For a longer stay, 3 GB and 5 GB each last 30 days at €9.69 and €15.99, which is more affordable per day. Pick 10 GB or 20 GB if you expect heavy photo sharing or hotspot use. These are total allowances, not daily amounts. For most tourists, 3 GB is a sensible default, but recommendations depend on how much video you watch, so the best value and best price depend on your usage rather than any single plan.

Listed networks: Orange/Sonatel Senegal. Connects to 4G/5G where the network offers it. Speeds and signal vary with your phone, location and network conditions. The operator offers 4G and 5G where its network has coverage. There is no single best coverage map to point to; reception follows Orange/Sonatel Senegal's network, and signal quality shifts with congestion, your phone and where you stand. Keep essential maps downloaded before you go.

This plan covers Senegal only. The Gambia is not included, so a road journey that crosses it leaves you without data on this eSIM for that section. If your trip spans two countries, compare separate plans for each rather than expecting one virtual sim card to work across the border.

These are data-only plans, so the key features are internet access without a local phone number, standard calls or SMS. Internet calling and messaging apps such as WhatsApp can use the allowance. Streaming a YouTube clip also draws from the same data. Keep another way to receive verification texts if a booking service needs them; your home carrier's charges may apply.

The listed networks support hotspot. Any device you connect draws from the same data allowance. Laptop updates and cloud syncing can burn a small allowance quickly. Pause them before connecting and remember that tethering and any data hotspot share the same plan balance.

Your exact phone model and regional variant must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Check the manufacturer's specifications before you buy. An eSIM card is built into the phone, so there is nothing physical to insert. On an iPhone, open mobile settings and look for the Add eSIM option, then confirm that Carrier Lock shows No SIM Restrictions. Android phones use a similar add-SIM path in network settings, and both iOS and Android let you install the profile with a QR code. Many recent models are compatible phones, but verify your exact variant before paying. Apple eSIM setup (opens in a new tab)

Install while you have a reliable internet connection, then follow the instructions supplied with your purchase. Check the stated activation trigger first: installation and the start of validity are not necessarily the same event, so instant installation is not guaranteed to start the clock. At your destination, select the travel eSIM for mobile data and apply the roaming and APN settings that came with it.

Confirm you are in Senegal, the eSIM line is enabled and selected for mobile data, and the plan still has data and validity left. Apply the supplied roaming and APN instructions, then toggle airplane mode briefly or restart the phone. Move to a different spot if reception is weak. If it still fails, keep the profile installed and contact support with your order reference, location and phone model.

Check the purchase conditions that came with your order for top up, extension and refund options. Don't assume a new purchase extends an existing plan or carries over unused data. These are fixed prepaid data plans with no monthly subscription, and whether they carry a no contract status is not confirmed, so read the terms before you buy online. Keep your order reference and installation details in case you need support.

Select the travel eSIM for mobile data, turn off automatic data switching and keep data roaming off on your regular SIM. Apply any required roaming setting only to the travel line. Calls and texts on your home number still follow your usual carrier's terms.
