Coverage & network in Niger
A Niger eSIM installs before you fly and activates on arrival, so the map, the ride-hailing app and your messages all work from the airport — the eSIM attaches to Airtel Niger.
Plans run from $13.50 for 1 GB over 7 days up to $102.50 for 20 GB over 30 days. The 1 GB plan is a short-stay or backup option; anything longer than a long weekend is better served by 5 GB.
Coverage here is 4G/LTE. It handles navigation, messaging, calls over data and streaming without complaint, and it reaches considerably further than any 5G rollout currently does. Tethering is allowed on every Niger plan, so a laptop or a travelling companion can share the connection.
Crossing borders on the same trip? The Africa plan covers 39 destinations on one profile from $14.50. Otherwise there are separate plans for Seychelles from $10.50, Sierra Leone from $17 and South Africa from $8.50.
How to install it
- 1
Buy in a minute
Pick a Niger plan and pay. Your QR code arrives by email in seconds — no account, no shipping.
- 2
Install on Wi-Fi
Scan the code before you fly. The profile sits alongside your normal SIM and stays switched off until you need it.
- 3
Land connected
Turn on data roaming for the TravelNet line when you arrive. The plan starts counting down on that first connection, not at checkout.
Will my phone work?
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone: an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or
newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship. Dial *#06# — if
an EID number is listed alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM.
Travelling beyond Niger?
One Africa plan covers 39 countries from $14.50 — worth it from the third border.
Niger eSIM questions
Which network does the Niger eSIM use?
Airtel Niger. It is one of Niger's main mobile networks, so coverage matches what local subscribers get rather than a thin roaming-only footprint.
Will I get 5G in Niger?
No. Niger plans run on 4G/LTE, which is what the network covers reliably. For maps, messaging, calls over data and streaming the difference is not something you'll notice.
How much data do I actually need for Niger?
Count on 100–200 MB a day if you're mostly using maps and messaging, and 1 GB an hour once video is involved. That puts a long weekend in Niger at 1–3 GB (from $13.50) and a two-week trip nearer 5–10 GB.
When does my Niger plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Niger, not when you buy it. Install it at home a day or two before you fly — the 1 GB plan then gives you 7 days from arrival and the larger plans 30 days.
Can I use my Niger eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Tethering is enabled on every Niger plan, so you can share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or someone travelling with you. Hotspot data comes out of the same allowance.
Can I keep my own phone number while I'm in Niger?
Yes. Nothing is removed from your phone. The Niger profile is added as a second line and set as the one used for data, while your usual number keeps receiving calls, texts and bank verification codes. Switch data roaming off on the home line before you fly.
Do I need to register or show a passport to use a Niger eSIM?
No. The plan roams on a partner network, so there's no local SIM registration, no ID upload and no shop visit. You buy it, scan the QR code, and it works on arrival.
What happens if I run out of data in Niger?
You can top up from the same page — buy another Niger plan and it queues behind the current one on the same eSIM profile. There's no need to reinstall anything or scan a second QR code.
I'm also visiting Seychelles and Sierra Leone — do I need separate eSIMs?
Not necessarily. The Africa plan covers 39 destinations including Niger on a single profile from $14.50. If Niger is the bulk of the trip, a country plan plus a top-up is usually cheaper; if you're crossing several borders, the regional plan wins.
Will my phone work with a Niger eSIM?
If it's an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship, almost certainly — and it must be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# and look for an EID number: if one is listed, the phone has an eSIM. Our compatibility list has the full set.
