Planning a trip to Togo? An eSIM gives you mobile internet the moment you land. You can choose from 10 data bundles from €42.99, with sizes ranging from 1 GB to 5 GB. Need a lot of data? Unlimited bundles are available too.

In Togo your eSIM connects to local networks such as Atlantique Telecom Togo, with fast 4G 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 Togo 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.
