It connects to Orange’s 4G network in Burkina Faso.

What data allowances are available?

The available allowances are 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB and 20GB.

How long can I use the Burkina Faso eSIM?

Plans are available for 7, 15 or 30 days.

Can I top up the Burkina Faso eSIM?

Yes. You can top up the eSIM if you need additional data during your trip.

Does the eSIM include calls and texts?

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

Burkina Faso: is an eSIM better than a local SIM?

For most travellers, yes. A local SIM in Burkina Faso 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.
