Does the Botswana eSIM include calls and texts?

No. It provides mobile data only; calls and texts are not included.

Can I top up the Botswana eSIM?

What data allowances are available?

You can choose 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB or 20GB, as well as an unlimited data option.

How long can I use the Botswana eSIM?

Botswana: is an eSIM better than a local SIM?

For most travellers, yes. A local SIM in Botswana means finding a shop once you have landed, usually with ID in hand, and it leaves you on a single carrier. An eSimHero eSIM installs before you travel, works the moment you arrive, connects across the networks we carry there, and leaves your usual number active on the same phone.
