Staying online where you go
Much of a visit centres on Ouagadougou and travel between towns, and a travel eSIM keeps your maps, messages and calls within reach along the way. It works just like the data you use at home, so you can check directions, translate a phrase or contact a driver whenever you have a mobile signal.
Set it up before you travel
Getting connected is easier when you prepare in advance. Buy your plan at home over a steady connection, scan the QR code we email, and the eSIM sits ready in your phone until you land. There is nothing to collect on arrival and no plastic SIM to juggle, so you are online from the start.
Keep your number and WhatsApp
Your travel eSIM runs alongside your normal SIM, so your usual number stays reachable for calls, texts and bank verification codes. WhatsApp and other apps keep working under your own account, while your mobile data shifts to the eSIM and away from costly roaming.
FAQ
Will an eSIM work throughout Burkina Faso?
Your eSIM connects wherever there is mobile coverage, which is generally strongest in and around towns and can be patchier in remote areas, as on any network. For long journeys away from populated places, save your maps offline beforehand.
How do I install it?
Buy your plan, then scan the QR code we email using your phone's camera or eSIM settings while you have Wi-Fi at home. The plan is added to your phone, and you switch it on when you arrive so you are connected without a local SIM.
Can I keep my own number?
Yes. The eSIM carries only your data, so your regular SIM and home number stay active for calls and texts. WhatsApp continues to work as normal, letting you message and call over the internet without roaming charges.
