Frequently asked questions

Not sure how eSIMs work or whether SIMOVO is right for your trip? These FAQs cover the essentials so you can travel with confidence.

What is the best eSIM for Botswana?

SIMOVO offers standard and unlimited plans for Botswana, so the best pick depends on your trip length and usage, whether you're on safari in Chobe or gliding through the Okavango Delta. Longer trips with heavier data use suit unlimited. Every plan activates instantly via the install link with no roaming fees.

Which mobile network does the SIMOVO eSIM use in Botswana?

Our eSIM uses premium local networks in Botswana, with the strongest 4G coverage around Gaborone, Francistown and main towns. Out in remote safari areas like the Kalahari or the Delta, coverage naturally thins, which is normal across Botswana's vast wilderness.

Does my EU or home-country roaming plan already cover Botswana?

Botswana is in Southern Africa and is not part of the EU/EEA, so EU "Roam Like At Home" rules don't apply. Home-country roaming here is usually very expensive, so a SIMOVO eSIM is the reliable, more affordable way to stay connected on safari and in town.

How much data do I need for a trip to Botswana?

For a week of maps, messaging, social media and photos, around 5-10GB is usually enough; you'll want more for streaming or tethering, though remote safari camps naturally limit heavy use anyway. The data calculator on this page helps you size a plan to your trip.

When should I install and activate my eSIM for Botswana?

Install your eSIM before departure, within 180 days of purchase, then activate it when you arrive in Botswana. The plan starts on its first connection, so you can set it up at Gaborone or Maun airport and be online before heading out to camp.

Can I use a hotspot or share my data in Botswana?

Yes, hotspot and tethering are supported, so you can share your data with fellow travellers or connect a laptop or tablet. It's handy for keeping a safari group online while signal is available near Maun or a lodge.

What is an eSIM and how does it work?

An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone, so there's no plastic SIM to insert. After purchase you receive an install link by email — tap it on your phone and your SIMOVO data plan installs in seconds, ready to connect the moment you travel.

Which devices are compatible with a SIMOVO eSIM?

Most recent iPhones (iPhone XS/XR and newer), Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer and many other premium smartphones support eSIM. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. Use the compatibility checker on this page to confirm your exact device before you buy.

Can I use my normal SIM and my SIMOVO eSIM at the same time?

Yes. Most eSIM-compatible phones support dual SIM, so you can keep your usual SIM active for calls and texts on your home number while your SIMOVO eSIM handles data. Just set SIMOVO as your default data line in your phone's settings.

How do I install and activate my SIMOVO eSIM?

You'll receive an install link by email straight after purchase. Open your phone's mobile/cellular settings, choose 'Add eSIM', follow the install link and complete the prompts. We recommend installing before you travel and switching it on when you arrive at your destination.

What happens if my eSIM doesn’t work — do you offer refunds?

If you can't activate your eSIM or hit a technical snag, our UK-based support team is on hand to help you get connected. Refunds are available in line with SIMOVO's refund policy — typically for unused plans or activation issues we're unable to resolve.

Customer Service 10/10

Such great customer service, I was looking to get my eSIM on their website, which is really user friendly, and as I was searching, I asked them a question on the chat function and got a reply straight away. The team were really helpful and helped me choose the correct package for our trip to the USA - would highly recommend!

Nick T.

Better than WiFi

Have been in Bali for 5 days now and the four of us all have got an E-Sim with Simovo. I haven't logged on to any WiFi yet as it seems to be working better on 5g than the WiFi around here. Even in the middle of nowhere in Uluwatu.

Roam the globe

VOIP

Use your eSIM to make Voice over Internet Protocol calls to friends and family
