Guinea-Bissau travel data eSIM
What is a Guinea-Bissau eSIM?
Guinea-Bissau eSIMs provide mobile data for visitors exploring West Africa’s coastal regions and inland areas. Install the profile on your unlocked phone before departure. It activates only upon connecting to local networks in Guinea-Bissau. This data-only plan supports hotspots while keeping your home SIM active for calls and texts. Ideal for navigating Bissau or visiting border regions near Senegal and Guinea with constant internet access.
Your data connects to Orange 4G networks within Guinea-Bissau. The plan remains active for its full duration once connected. Available options range from 1GB for short stays to 20GB for longer visits. Choose a size matching your expected usage for maps, messaging, and browsing while traveling through the country’s diverse landscapes and urban centers.
Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Guinea-Bissau
The eSIM connects to Orange 4G infrastructure in Guinea-Bissau. Network availability depends on the specific operator coverage in your current location. Urban areas may offer different access levels compared to remote zones. Check local conditions before relying on data for critical tasks. The plan does not guarantee connection strength in every part of the territory.
5 plans are available for Guinea-Bissau, from $10.90 up to $142.90. 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 Guinea-Bissau eSIM use?
It connects to Orange 4G networks. This means you access the local mobile infrastructure provided by Orange in Guinea-Bissau. Your device registers on this network when you arrive, allowing data usage throughout the plan’s validity period.
Does this eSIM work in Senegal?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in Guinea-Bissau. It does not function in neighboring Senegal. If you plan to visit both countries, consider a regional multi-country plan that includes both destinations for continuous data access.
Which plan size fits a trip to Bissau and Bafatá?
As a rough guide, 3GB or 5GB suits a 30-day trip covering Bissau and Bafatá. This allows for regular map usage, messaging, and light browsing. Heavier video streaming might require the 10GB or larger options depending on your daily habits.
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.
