Gambia travel data eSIM
What is a Gambia eSIM?
Keep your phone connected while exploring the Gambia River or visiting Banjul. This data-only eSIM installs via QR code before you depart, ensuring you are online upon arrival. It activates only when you first connect to a local network in West Africa. Your home SIM remains active for calls and texts, while the eSIM handles your internet needs. Ideal for navigating the country's elongated geography and staying in touch during your trip along the Atlantic coast.
The plan connects to the Comium 4G network. Validity begins on your first connection in Gambia. Choose from data allowances ranging from 1GB for short stays to 20GB for longer durations. The 7-day option suits quick visits, while 30-day plans offer flexibility for extended holidays. All plans support hotspot usage, letting you share data with other devices while you explore the region.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Gambia eSIM use?
The eSIM connects to the Comium 4G network. This means you access the local infrastructure used by residents and visitors. Connectivity depends on the operator's presence at your specific location within the country.
Does this eSIM work in Senegal?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in Gambia. Senegal borders Gambia on all sides except the coast. If you plan to visit both countries, look for a regional multi-country plan instead.
Which plan size suits a trip to Banjul and Serekunda?
As a rough guide, a 3GB or 5GB plan often suffices for a short stay in these nearby cities. Heavier data use for streaming or constant map navigation might require the 10GB option for thirty days.
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.
