Senegal eSIM

After purchase you receive a QR code by email. Open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM, scan the code and you are online. Takes under 2 minutes.

Most modern phones support eSIM: iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3+, and many others. Check Settings → Cellular on your device.

Yes! eSIM works as a second line alongside your physical SIM. Keep your home number for calls — use eSIM for mobile data.

The validity period starts from the moment you first connect and use mobile data — not from the purchase date.

e1sim Senegal plans connect to Orange/Sonatel Senegal, the country's leading operator, providing 4G LTE coverage in Dakar, major cities, and the main tourist coastal strip.

Orange/Sonatel has some coverage in Ziguinchor and main Casamance towns, but connectivity becomes patchy in the rural interior and along river estuaries. Download offline maps before travelling south.

e1sim plans are data-only. Use WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Skype for voice calls. French-speaking destinations like Senegal are well served by translation apps that work over data.

Senegal is outside major roaming blocs including the EU zone. Standard international rates apply for most foreign SIMs. An eSIM is a far more economical option for staying connected.

For a week of tourist travel including navigation, maps, WhatsApp, and occasional video calls, a 5–10 GB plan is typically sufficient. Download large offline maps before leaving Dakar, where connectivity is most reliable.
