Questions

Good to know before you fly

Can't find your answer? Our team replies on WhatsApp in English or Kiswahili.

Ask a question
What is an eSIM?+

A digital SIM that's already built into your phone. You add a travel data plan by scanning a QR code. No plastic card, no shop.

Does my phone support eSIM?+

Most phones from the last few years do: iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer. Dial *#06#: if you see an EID number, your phone supports eSIM.

When should I install it?+

Install it at home on Wi-Fi before you fly. Most plans only start counting days when you first connect at your destination. We tell you which, for every plan.

Will I lose my Safaricom number?+

No. On a dual-SIM phone your Safaricom line stays active for calls and SMS, including M-PESA messages. The eSIM is only used for data abroad.

How do I pay?+

With M-PESA (you get a prompt on your phone and enter your PIN) or with a card. We never see or store your PIN or card number.

What if it doesn't work?+

Message us on WhatsApp. If your eSIM can't be delivered or a fault on our side stops it working, you get a refund.

Not sure your phone supports eSIM?

Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number, you're good to go.
