South Sudan 250MB eSIM

Three data plans are available: 250 MB for 7 days at €20.89, 500 MB for 15 days at €41.49, or 1 GB for 30 days at €82.69. There is no plan valid for 1 day or 14 days here, and 15 days runs just over 2 weeks. The cheapest plan, 250 MB, suits only light messaging, and one day of video calls can drain it; the price steps up with each larger allowance. Which of the three options gives the best value depends on your actual use, and we make no best price or best coverage claim across the market. The 250 MB tier is affordable only if you keep use minimal.

Listed networks: MTN. 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 listed networks support hotspot. Any device you connect draws from the same data allowance. Every device you tether draws from the same allowance, so switch off automatic laptop updates before sharing one of these small plans.

No. These are data-only plans with no local phone number, standard calls or SMS. Run WhatsApp or other messaging apps over your data, but note that YouTube and similar video apps drain a small allowance quickly. If a service needs an SMS code, this eSIM can't receive it, so keep a separate number available.

An eSIM card is a virtual sim card stored on the phone rather than a removable plastic card, and only compatible phones can use one. Check your exact model and regional version, then confirm the phone is unlocked. On an iPhone running iOS, look for Add eSIM in mobile service settings and check the carrier-lock status. Android support varies by model, so confirm against the manufacturer's spec. Install using a stable internet connection and the QR code and instructions supplied with your plan.

Install over reliable Wi-Fi before you depart and keep the setup steps to hand. The start of the validity period depends on the instructions supplied with your particular plan, and installing the profile is a separate step from activation. Don't read 'instant installation' as a promise; setup speed depends on your phone, connection and the QR code you're given. Select the travel eSIM as your data line when you're ready to use it.

Whether this is a short holiday, a longer vacation or a working visit, these small allowances suit essential messages and the occasional document check better than sustained remote work. Don't rely on a travel eSIM as your only communications method. No set of recommendations replaces checking current official travel advice, and you should agree backup arrangements with your organisation or local contact before any journey.

Check that you're in South Sudan, the eSIM is enabled and selected for data, and the plan still has data and validity left. Follow the roaming and APN instructions for your plan, then briefly toggle airplane mode or restart the phone. Move somewhere with better reception if the service or signal quality is weak. Keep the profile installed and give your model, location and order reference when you ask for help.

Use the top up or replacement offers shown with your order; don't assume unused data carries over or that a new purchase extends an existing plan. Thirty days is not the same as one month on the calendar, and these are fixed prepaid allowances rather than a monthly subscription. 'No contract' just describes a single prepaid purchase, so check the pricing and terms before you buy online. Refund eligibility depends on the purchase conditions and whether the plan was activated or used. Keep your order reference for support.

Set the travel eSIM as your mobile-data line, disable automatic data switching and keep data roaming off on your regular SIM. Apply any travel eSIM roaming instructions only to that line. Your home carrier can still charge for calls or texts on your regular number.
