Prepaid data plans for Côte d'Ivoire
Each eSIM plan gives you mobile data across Côte d'Ivoire on 4G/LTE or 5G where the underlying network and your device support it. Plans are data-only, so you will not receive a local phone number, SMS, or voice calls. You can use data for messaging apps, maps, rideshare services, and browsing.
Plans start at 1GB valid for 1 day and scale up depending on how long you are travelling and how much data you need. Buy online, receive your QR code by email within minutes, and scan it when you are ready to connect. One-time purchase, no recurring billing.
How to set up your Côte d'Ivoire eSIM
Your device must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Most recent iPhones, Samsung Galaxy models, and Google Pixels work. After purchase, you will receive a QR code by email. Open your device settings, find the option to add a mobile plan or eSIM, and scan the code.
Install the eSIM before you leave or on arrival in Côte d'Ivoire while connected to WiFi. Once installed, enable data roaming for the eSIM line. Your data allowance activates when the eSIM first connects to a network in-country, so you are billed only when you start using it.
Staying connected across Côte d'Ivoire
Coverage in Abidjan, the economic capital, is strong across the Plateau business district, Cocody, and Marcory, as well as around Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport. Yamoussoukro, San-Pédro, and Bouaké also have reliable urban connectivity. You will have data for ride-hailing apps, maps to navigate lagoon crossings, and messaging to coordinate tours of the Basilica or beach stops along the Grand-Bassam coast.
Highway corridors connecting major cities generally have coverage, but signal weakens in rural cocoa-growing regions and forested interior zones near Taï National Park or Comoé. Download offline maps if you plan to travel upcountry. Typical traveller use—maps, WhatsApp, email, occasional photo uploads—runs 500MB to 1GB per day. Streaming video or uploading large files on the move will consume data faster.
Frequently asked questions
Do I get a Côte d'Ivoire phone number with this eSIM?
No. These are data-only plans. You will not receive a local phone number, SMS capability, or voice calls. Use data for WhatsApp, Skype, or other internet-based apps to communicate.
When does my data allowance start?
Your validity period begins when the eSIM first connects to a mobile network in Côte d'Ivoire. Install the eSIM beforehand, but it will not start billing until you arrive and turn on the data connection.
Can I use this eSIM in multiple devices?
No. Each eSIM is tied to one device. If you remove it, you typically cannot reinstall it. Buy separate plans if you need data on a phone and a tablet.
Will my device work with this eSIM?
Your device must support eSIM technology and be carrier-unlocked. Recent iPhones from XS onward, many Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models, and some other brands are compatible. Check your settings for an eSIM or digital SIM option.
What happens if I run out of data?
Your connection stops when you exhaust your allowance or the validity period ends. You can purchase a new plan if you need more data. Plans cannot be topped up or extended once activated.
