Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator(s) does the Benin eSIM use, and what does that mean for a traveller?
The Benin eSIM connects to Celtiis 4G. This means your data connectivity relies on their network availability in the areas you visit within Benin.
Does the eSIM also work in a neighbouring country like Togo?
This is a single-country plan valid only in Benin. For travel to multiple countries, please look for our regional plans.
Which plan size is suitable for a trip to Cotonou and Porto-Novo?
As a rough guide, for a trip focusing on these two cities, a 3GB or 5GB plan for 30 days might be sufficient, depending on your daily data usage.
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.
