Mobile internet in Central African Republic

Planning a trip to Central African Republic? An eSIM gives you mobile internet the moment you land. You can choose from 17 data bundles from €16.99, with sizes ranging from 1 GB to 10 GB. Need a lot of data? Unlimited bundles are available too.

In Central African Republic your eSIM connects to local networks such as ATLANTIQUE TELECOM CENTRAFRIQUE SA and Orange Central African Republic, with local networks where available.

How much data you need depends mostly on what you do while travelling. For navigation, WhatsApp and the occasional scroll through social media, 1 to 3 GB is usually plenty for a short trip. The smallest bundle for Central African Republic starts at 1 GB, so you never pay for more than you need. If you stream a lot of video or share photos every day, pick a larger bundle or an unlimited option.

An eSIM saves you your provider's steep roaming fees and the hassle of buying a local SIM when you land. Your phone number keeps working for WhatsApp and texts while the eSIM handles the internet. Activation takes a few minutes via the QR code in your email.
