Niger travel data eSIM
What is a Niger eSIM?
Arriving in Niamey or exploring the Sahara, a Niger eSIM keeps your phone connected without local SIM hassle. Install it before departure; the data clock starts only upon first connection in the country. This data-only profile supports hotspotting, letting you share internet with other devices. Your primary SIM remains active for calls and texts, ensuring you stay reachable while navigating the diverse landscapes of this West African nation.
Your plan connects to Airtel 4G networks within Niger. Once activated, the data allowance applies to your usage until the validity period ends. The specific network performance you experience depends entirely on the operator's infrastructure in your current location. This setup provides a straightforward way to access mobile data while visiting various regions of the country.
Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Niger
The eSIM links your device to Airtel 4G infrastructure. Connectivity is determined by the availability of Airtel towers in your specific location. Since coverage varies by region, your experience will depend on where you are within Niger. Check local network conditions for precise details, as the plan relies solely on this single operator for data transmission throughout your stay.
5 plans are available for Niger, from $8.90 up to $119.90. 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 Niger eSIM use?
The eSIM connects exclusively to Airtel 4G networks. This means your data usage is tied to Airtel's infrastructure within Niger. You will experience whatever connectivity Airtel provides in your specific location, with no automatic switching to other providers.
Does this plan work in neighboring countries?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in Niger. It does not provide data access in neighboring nations like Chad or Nigeria. For trips spanning multiple countries, consider purchasing a specific regional plan designed for multi-country use.
Which plan size fits a trip to Niamey and Agadez?
As a rough guide, the 5GB or 10GB options may suit a visit to these two cities. Your actual needs depend on usage habits, such as streaming or heavy map use. Select a size that feels comfortable for your expected data consumption.
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.
