Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest eSIM for Rwanda?
The cheapest plan that works in Rwanda is a multi-country one: $5.99 for 1 GB, valid for 7 days. The cheapest plan for Rwanda alone is 3 GB for 15 days at $14.99. Prices come live from 4 vetted providers and change often.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for Rwanda?
For most travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Rwanda plans start at $5.99 for 1 GB, and the longest lasts 365 days, which suits long stays and repeat visits. If your home plan already covers Rwanda at no extra cost, you may not need one.
Which networks do Rwanda eSIMs use?
Rwanda eSIMs on MobiMatter run on 2 networks: Airtel and MTN. Each plan names its network, so you can pick the one with better coverage where you are going.
Which eSIM is best for Rwanda?
For Rwanda alone, our top plan right now is 10 GB for 30 days at $33.99 from Ubigi. If Rwanda is one stop of several, the top multi-country plan is 20 GB for 30 days at $43.99 from OlamGo, covering 5 countries. If price per GB is all that matters, the lowest right now is $1.80 per GB, with 50 GB for 180 days.
How much data do I need for a week in Rwanda?
It depends on how you use your phone. Light use (maps, messaging, browsing) takes about 0.5–1 GB a day; scrolling a lot of social video can take 2–3 GB or more. Typical use per hour:
- Instagram Reels, TikTok: 0.3–1 GB
- YouTube, Netflix at standard quality: 0.5–1 GB
- Video calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime): 0.5–1 GB
- Voice calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime Audio): 50–70 MB
- Maps and navigation: 2–6 MB
- Messaging and browsing: 50–150 MB
The cheapest Rwanda plan with at least 5 GB for a week or longer is 5 GB for 30 days at $18.99.
Do Rwanda eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
Rwanda plans currently run on 4G/LTE. Hotspot (tethering) works on every plan, so you can share your data with other devices.
Does a Rwanda eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most Rwanda plans, are data-only and have no local number. You keep your usual number on your main SIM for calls, texts and WhatsApp. Plans that include a number or minutes say so on the plan page.
Will my phone work with a Rwanda eSIM?
Yes, if it supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. To check, dial *#06#: if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. Most iPhones from the XS/XR on, Galaxy S20 and later and Pixel 3 and later do, except most models sold in mainland China and some sold in Hong Kong and Macao.
Can I keep my own SIM and WhatsApp while using a Rwanda eSIM?
Yes. Your eSIM and your main SIM can be active at the same time. Use the eSIM for mobile data with data roaming on for that line, and turn data roaming off on your home SIM to avoid charges. WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number.

I’ve been travelling around SE Asia for the last 7 months, covering 6 different countries, and this app has been amazing throughout when needing to change eSIM. Very easy set-up when buying one and if you in fact are having some troubles, contacting the support team and talking through email takes no time at all. I was having some difficulty with an eSIM in Vietnam since my phone was not finding a signal no matter what I did - their support team helped me and guided me on different ways to fix it. Thank you!!

I tested the speed. It connected even faster than the internet I use at home in Turkey. There's no need to unnecessarily enrich service providers. You can use it abroad with peace of mind.
