After checkout, open your phone settings, go to Cellular or Mobile Data, tap "Add eSIM", then scan the QR code we emailed you. The Botswana eSIM activates in 1-2 minutes — install before you fly and switch on data on arrival.
Which networks does the Botswana eSIM use?
Our Botswana eSIM connects to the strongest available local carrier networks, so you get reliable roaming connectivity in major cities and tourist areas. Network partners may vary by plan and region.
Can I use hotspot and tethering with the Botswana eSIM?
Hotspot and tethering support depends on the specific plan. Check the plan description on the Botswana page before buying — plans that support tethering are clearly marked.
Should I activate the Botswana eSIM before I land?
We recommend installing the eSIM profile before you travel, but turning data roaming on only after you land in Botswana. This avoids accidental usage and keeps your activation window intact.
Is unlimited data available for Botswana?
Some destinations offer unlimited data plans; others have capped prepaid data. Use the filters on the Botswana page to compare data allowances, validity and price to find the right fit for your trip.
Can I keep my home SIM active while using the Botswana eSIM?
Yes. Most eSIM-compatible phones support Dual SIM, so your home number stays active for calls and SMS while the eSIM handles travel data in Botswana.
