Is it worth getting an eSIM for Sierra Leone?
For most travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Sierra Leone plans start at $6.99 for 1 GB, and the longest lasts 365 days, which suits long stays and repeat visits. If your home plan already covers Sierra Leone at no extra cost, you may not need one.
Which networks do Sierra Leone eSIMs use?
Sierra Leone eSIMs on MobiMatter run on 2 networks: Orange and Africell. Each plan names its network, so you can pick the one with better coverage where you are going.
Which eSIM is best for Sierra Leone?
No plan covers Sierra Leone alone right now, so the choice is a multi-country plan. The top one is 10 GB for 30 days at $35.99 from Airalo, covering 155 countries. We rank plans on quality and value for money. If price per GB is all that matters, the lowest right now is $2.80 per GB, with 25 GB for 90 days.
How much data do I need for a week in Sierra Leone?
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 Sierra Leone plan with at least 5 GB for a week or longer is 5 GB for 30 days at $21.99.
Do Sierra Leone eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
Sierra Leone plans currently run on 4G/LTE. Hotspot (tethering) works on every plan, so you can share your data with other devices.
Does a Sierra Leone eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most Sierra Leone 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 Sierra Leone 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 Sierra Leone 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 have been using the Sparks eSim from MobiMatter for some time now and I won't be deleting it. Since then, I have traveled to Egypt, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Brazil, and Argentina. It was easy to install, and the reception has always been flawless!"

MobiMatters came highly recommended in family-oriented travel groups on social networks, when I was researching on travel eSIMs for Iceland. The first package I started with was a US + Europe - it was easy to activate before leaving home (and verifying), and then continue on landing in Reykjavik. Unthinkable speeds (given we are used to Verizon and TMobile in the US) - over 400 Mbps on the Fast app! Unlimited tethering options allowed me to use across my MacBook and phone, as well as share across the family with the kids on iPads and phones. Navigation on Google and Waze was aa breeze with the constant high speed data connectivity. Our plans did not support phones (we knew this) but with WhatsApp and FaceTime allowing audio and video calls we never felt the need for basic phone service. Customer service on email was responsive and helpful when I wanted to understand how top-ups work. Highly recommend MobiMatters - I’m on my third top-up as we speak!

This is the best part... A fantastic app. I had no problems during my week-long vacation in Paris, France. I used it on my Android phone and the setup was very easy with the QR code. The package prices are also much more economical compared to other e-service providers. Plus, you don't easily use up your internet data unless you're watching videos.

I have used this app multiple times and have been really happy with the service. When I've had an issue I've been able to troubleshoot it with the online instructions and if that doesn't work it is quickly resolved.
