Cote d'Ivoire travel data eSIM
What is a Cote d'Ivoire eSIM?
Your Cote d'Ivoire eSIM connects to Orange 4G networks, keeping you online from Abidjan to Yamoussoukro. Install the profile on your unlocked phone before departure. The data allowance activates only upon your first connection within the country. This setup ensures immediate access to maps, messaging, and navigation without swapping physical SIM cards or relying on public Wi-Fi during your West African journey.
This plan connects specifically to Orange 4G infrastructure. When you arrive, your device registers on this network to access mobile data. The validity period begins on first use. You can manage your connection settings locally. The data allowance applies to all traffic routed through the Orange network while you remain within national borders.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Cote d'Ivoire eSIM use?
It connects to Orange 4G networks. This means your device registers directly with Orange infrastructure. You do not need to manually select a different carrier. The connection is established automatically when you arrive in the country and turn on data.
Does this eSIM work in neighboring Ghana?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in Cote d'Ivoire. It will not connect in Ghana. If you are traveling to multiple West African nations, look for our regional multi-country plans instead to ensure continuous connectivity.
Which plan size fits a trip to Abidjan and Yamoussoukro?
For a typical visit to Abidjan and Yamoussoukro, the 5GB / 30 days plan is a rough guide. It suits moderate data usage for maps and messaging. Heavier streaming users might prefer the 10GB 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.
