Angola travel data eSIM
What is an Angola eSIM?
An Angola eSIM gives travelers a ready‑to‑use data connection the moment they step off the plane. By loading the profile at home, you arrive in Luanda or Benguela with mobile internet already configured, so you can navigate, book transport, and share updates without hunting for a local SIM. It works on a data‑only plan, letting you keep your regular phone number for calls and texts on your primary SIM.
In Angola the eSIM links to UNITEL’s 4G network. Data is drawn from the selected bundle—1 GB for a week or larger 30‑day packages—so you can browse, use maps, and access travel apps while moving between cities or staying in one place. The plan’s balance updates as you consume data, and any remaining allowance rolls over until the package expires.
Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Angola
When you activate the eSIM in Angola it connects to UNITEL’s 4G infrastructure. The actual reach of the service depends on the operator’s network deployment in the area you are visiting, whether you are in the capital, a coastal town, or an inland region. As long as the device is within the operator’s footprint, you can use mobile data for navigation, messaging, and online services.
4 plans are available for Angola, from $22.90 up to $160.90. Every plan is data only, delivered by QR code, and starts counting when you connect on arrival.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Angola eSIM use and what does that mean for me?
The eSIM connects to UNITEL’s 4G network. This gives you access to the same mobile data services that local UNITEL customers use, allowing typical smartphone functions while you travel.
Can I use the Angola eSIM in a neighboring country such as Namibia?
No, the plan is limited to Angola. For trips that include Namibia or other nearby nations, consider a regional multi‑country eSIM option.
Which plan size is suitable for a trip that includes Luanda and Benguela?
As a rough guide, the 5 GB 30‑day bundle often covers moderate use across two major cities, while heavier streaming or frequent navigation might call for the 10 GB option.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
