Good to know
Local SIMs in the Central African Republic must be registered in person with your passport, and signal thins fast beyond Bangui — an eSIM has you online the moment you land at M'Poko, with no kiosk queue.
Prepaid, honestly.

Fixed-data bundles have no daily cap — the gigabytes are yours until they're used or the plan ends. Every plan is prepaid: the checkout total is the whole bill, and we never add overage charges.

Hotspot support varies by plan and destination — where it's available for your plan in the Central African Republic, it's shown in the plan details before you pay.

The Central African Republic eSIM guide.

The Central African Republic is one of the least-connected countries on earth, and most visitors — aid and NGO staff, journalists, researchers and hardy overlanders — arrive knowing signal is a luxury. Coverage clusters around Bangui and the larger towns, so a working eSIM keeps check-ins home, offline maps and French-and-Sango translation within reach.

How it works on the day

Install your eSIM over Wi-Fi before you fly and enable it as you land at Bangui M'Poko International. It roams onto Orange and Telecel, the networks with the widest reach — expect 3G in most places and pockets of 4G around the capital.

Choosing your days

Assignments here often run weeks rather than days, so size your plan to the whole stay. For a short Bangui visit — meetings, then out — a smaller bundle covers maps, email and calls home; top up if you head upcountry where signal is scarcer.

The short version.

A travel eSIM is data only. It sits next to your home SIM, so your number, texts and WhatsApp carry on as normal. Pick a bundle of GB sized to the trip. Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly — the days only start once it first connects in the Central African Republic, and it finds a partner network on its own.
