It connects to AirtelTigo’s 3G network in Ghana.

Does the Ghana eSIM include calls and texts?

No. The plan provides mobile data only, so calls and texts are not included.

Can I top up the Ghana eSIM?

Yes. Top-up is supported if you need more data during your stay.

How long can I use the Ghana eSIM?

Plans are available for 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 15 or 30 days.

What data allowances are available for Ghana?

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

Ghana: is an eSIM better than a local SIM?

For most travellers, yes. A local SIM in Ghana 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.
