Questions

Which networks does the Central African Republic eSIM use?

Orange (3G). Coverage and speed depend on where you are.

Will my phone work with the Central African Republic eSIM?

Yes, if your phone supports eSIM and is not locked to one carrier. Most iPhones from the XS and XR onwards do, as do recent Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models. Check yours in our list of eSIM phones.

Does the Central African Republic eSIM come with a phone number?

No. It is data only: no phone number, no calls or SMS. Your own SIM stays in your phone, so WhatsApp and iMessage keep working with your usual number.

How much data do I need for a week in the Central African Republic?

About 0.7 GB a day covers maps, messages, social media and some video, so around 5 GB for a week. Our pick for one week: 5 GB · 30 days for $25.59.

What is the cheapest Central African Republic eSIM?

1 GB · 7 days for $6.69 is the lowest-priced plan. The lowest price per GB is 5 GB · 30 days at $5.19 per GB.

How long is the Central African Republic eSIM valid?

Plans run for 7, 15 or 30 days.

When does my plan start?

When your phone first connects to a network in the Central African Republic, not when you buy or install the eSIM. So you can install it at home before you travel.

Is there an unlimited Central African Republic eSIM?

No. Every plan has a fixed amount of data, up to 5 GB.

Can I use the Central African Republic eSIM as a hotspot?

Yes, your phone can share the connection with a laptop or a second phone. Everything you share counts against your plan. Whether a network limits sharing depends on the plan, so ask us before you buy if it matters. More in our hotspot guide.

Can I top up my Central African Republic eSIM?

Yes. Add data under My eSIMs while your plan is still valid. No new eSIM needed.

Why do some apps think I am in the United States?

Depending on the plan, your connection runs via the United States. Websites and apps, such as banking or streaming services, may then treat you as being there.

Can I get a refund?

eSIM purchases are final. If something isn’t right, write to us in Help and we’ll take care of it.
