Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our Kenya eSIM

What is an eSIM and how does it work?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card built into your device. Instead of inserting a physical SIM card, you download an eSIM profile via QR code. It works exactly like a traditional SIM card for calls, texts, and data, but it's completely digital. With a Kenya eSIM, you'll be connected the moment you land.

When should I install my Kenya eSIM?

We recommend installing your Kenya eSIM before you travel, while you still have internet access. You can install it anytime after purchase, but it won't activate until you arrive in Kenya and turn on data roaming. This way, you'll be connected the moment you land.

Can I use an eSIM on a locked phone?

No, your device must be carrier-unlocked to use an eSIM from another provider. Contact your current carrier to unlock your device before traveling. Most phones purchased directly from manufacturers (not carriers) are already unlocked.

How do I activate my Kenya eSIM?

After purchasing, you'll receive a QR code via email. Go to your phone's Settings > Cellular/Mobile Data > Add eSIM/Add Cellular Plan, then scan the QR code. Your Kenya eSIM will activate automatically when you arrive in Kenya and turn on data roaming.

Is my device compatible with Kenya eSIM?

Most iPhones from iPhone XS onwards and recent Android flagships support eSIM. Check our compatibility list above or go to your phone Settings and look for "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan" option. If you see this option, your device is compatible with a eSIM.

Can I share hotspot with Kenya eSIM?

Yes! Most of our eSIM plans support personal hotspot/tethering, allowing you to share your connection with laptops, tablets, or other devices. Check the specific plan details as some unlimited plans may have hotspot data limits (typically 1-5GB per day).

Can I top up my Kenya eSIM data plan?

No, top-up is not currently supported. Please stay tuned for this feature!

What is your refund policy?

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you haven't activated your Kenya eSIM and are not satisfied for any reason, contact us for a full refund. Once activated, refunds are evaluated case-by-case based on technical issues or service problems.

How do I contact customer support?

Our support team is available 24/7 via email at [email protected]. We typically respond within 5 minutes during business hours and within 1 hour at all other times.

Why do most Unlimited Data plans have a daily 2GB high-speed limit?

Our team tested this across multiple real trips and found that 2GB of daily high-speed data covers everything most travelers need — scrolling TikTok, watching a YouTube video or two, and staying connected with family and friends. Once the daily 2GB high-speed allowance is used, you still have unlimited data at a reduced speed (minimum 128 kbps), which is perfectly fine for WhatsApp, Telegram, text messages, and casual social media. No more anxiously watching your data balance — just enjoy your trip.

Can I purchase multiple eSIMs in one order?

Yes! You can add up to 5 eSIMs in a single order — ideal for family vacations or group trips. Everyone gets their own plan in one checkout.

I have no signal, or I have signal but can't access the internet. What should I do?

We recommend manually switching to a different network carrier. Different carriers have varying coverage in each area. Most of our plans support multiple carriers — try manually selecting a different carrier in your phone's network settings to resolve the issue.
