Sierra Leone 10GB eSIM

Sierra Leone's data plans start with 1 GB for 7 days at €3.39. That is the cheapest of the options and the best price per gigabyte, but it expires after seven days, so it is the best value only if your trip fits inside one week. For a stay of 14 days, you have 2 weeks on the ground, so pick a 30-day plan instead: 3, 5, 10 or 20 GB each last 30 days. At €15.99, the 5 GB plan is an affordable middle ground for a holiday with moderate use; streaming YouTube or a family video call argues for 10 GB or 20 GB. Treat these as recommendations, not a fixed rule.

Listed networks: Airtel/Zain/Celtel Sierra Leone. Connects to 4G/LTE where available. 5G is not confirmed on this plan. Speeds and signal vary with your phone, location and network conditions. The operator is fixed across all plans, so a pricier plan doesn't get you a different network or better coverage quality.

You need an eSIM-capable, network-unlocked phone. Check for compatible phones in the compatibility guide, because the exact model and sales region matter more than the brand. On an iPhone running iOS, look for Add eSIM under Cellular or Mobile Data; on Android, the eSIM option usually sits under Network & internet.

Install over solid Wi-Fi and save the setup steps before you travel. Check your plan's instructions to see when validity actually starts, because installation and activation can be two separate steps. Once in Sierra Leone, turn the travel line on and set it as the mobile data line.

No. These plans are data only, so there's no local phone number and no standard calls or SMS. Messaging and calling apps like WhatsApp work over the data connection. Bank verification texts still come through your home SIM, so check what your home carrier charges for roaming on that line.

The listed networks support hotspot. Any device you connect draws from the same data allowance. Every device you connect draws from the same allowance, so pause laptop updates and cloud backups before tethering, especially on a small plan. The data hotspot and 4G are the main features here; 5G is not part of this plan.

No. Each allowance is one fixed total for its entire validity period, not a daily amount and not unlimited. A 30-day plan isn't the same as one month on the calendar, so don't treat it as a monthly subscription; read the purchase terms rather than assuming auto-renewal or 'no contract'. If you're away for one day or a full month, match both the data and the number of days to your trip and watch usage in the phone's settings.

No. These plans cover Sierra Leone only. Buy a separate plan for any onward country or transit stop, because the operator's name doesn't stretch the included territory.

Pick another available plan if you need more and read its setup steps before buying. Don't assume it extends your current allowance, rolls unused data forward or reuses the installed profile. If you need just 1 day more, a top up may not exist, so only top up an existing profile when your order clearly offers that option.

Check you're in Sierra Leone, the eSIM is switched on and chosen for mobile data, and there's still data and validity left. Apply the supplied APN and roaming settings to the travel line, then toggle airplane mode or restart the phone. Move to another spot if the signal is weak, and leave the eSIM installed while you get help.

Set the travel eSIM as the mobile data line, turn off automatic data switching and keep data roaming off on your home line. Any roaming setting the travel eSIM needs applies only to that line. Calls and texts on the home SIM can still add charges.

Hold on to your order reference, phone model and setup details when you contact support. Read the pricing, service contacts and refund rules before you buy, since activating or using data can change eligibility. Keep the profile installed while any connection issue is being checked.
