Sierra Leone travel data eSIM
What is a Sierra Leone eSIM?
When you travel to Sierra Leone, a CometSIM eSIM gives you instant data access as soon as you land. Install the profile at home, keep your regular SIM for calls, and let the eSIM handle maps, translation, ride‑hailing and social apps without hunting for a local SIM. It’s a lightweight solution for a country where you’ll move between bustling streets, coastal towns and inland villages.
In Sierra Leone the eSIM connects to Orange 4G’s network. Your chosen data allowance—ranging from 1 GB for a week to 20 GB for a month—starts counting only after you first connect on the ground. The plan is data‑only, so you can browse, stream, and use navigation while your home number remains untouched for voice calls and texts.

Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Sierra Leone
Orange 4G operates the mobile infrastructure across Sierra Leone. Once you activate the eSIM, you link to that operator’s network, and your ability to use mobile data depends on the local Orange coverage in the area you are visiting. Whether you’re in the capital, a coastal resort, or an inland market, the connection follows the operator’s reach.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Sierra Leone eSIM use and what does that mean for a traveller?
The eSIM connects to Orange 4G. For travellers, this means you will be on the same network as local Orange customers, accessing the same data services and using apps that rely on mobile internet.
Can the Sierra Leone eSIM be used in a neighbouring country, such as Liberia?
No, this is a single‑country plan valid only in Sierra Leone. CometSIM offers separate regional plans for travelers who need coverage in multiple West African nations.
Which plan size suits a trip that includes both Freetown and Bo?
As a rough guide, the 5 GB 30‑day plan often covers moderate use for two major cities, while the 10 GB option provides extra flexibility for heavier streaming or frequent navigation.
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.
