Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest eSIM for Tanzania?
The cheapest Tanzania eSIM on MobiMatter is a plan for Tanzania alone: $4.49 for 1 GB, valid for 7 days. Prices come live from 6 vetted providers and change often; the price on this page is the current one.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for Tanzania?
For most travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Tanzania plans start at $4.49 for 1 GB, and the longest lasts 365 days, which suits long stays and repeat visits. If your home plan already covers Tanzania at no extra cost, you may not need one.
Which networks do Tanzania eSIMs use?
Tanzania eSIMs on MobiMatter run on 4 networks: Airtel, Halotel, tiGO (Yas), and Vodacom. Airtel carries the most plans (23 plans). Each plan names its network, so you choose your carrier before you buy.
Which eSIM is best for Tanzania?
For Tanzania alone, our top plan right now is 10 GB for 30 days at $24.99 from Airalo. If Tanzania is one stop of several, the top multi-country plan is 20 GB for 30 days at $39.99 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 Tanzania?
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 Tanzania plan with at least 5 GB for a week or longer is 5 GB for 30 days at $14.99.
Do Tanzania eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
Tanzania plans currently run on 4G/LTE. Hotspot (tethering) works on every plan, so you can share your data with other devices.
Does a Tanzania eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most Tanzania 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 Tanzania 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 Tanzania 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.

During my 5-day trip to Greece, my wife and I shared the "Europa special 10 GB" package. We used it extensively and without interruption in all 5 days, but only managed to use 5 GB. If I ever travel abroad again, I will definitely choose Mobimatter.

I recently used their service and I’m extremely satisfied. The package lasted longer than expected, and I was able to make great use of it across the Asian region. They also have the fastest support team — very responsive and incredibly detailed in the information they provide.

I needed an eSIM for EU and non-EU counties for the same trip. They had one package at a great price that worked great in all location. The app was great as I was able to check my data balance, in real time, quickly and easily during my trip. Would definitely use MobiMatters again. Downloading the eSIM was quick and easy too. In addition, when I reached out to Customer Support on a minor account issue, they were very responsive and addressed my issue quickly and effectively.

I used it for the first time with my wife during our trip to Japan and Korea, and I didn't experience any connection problems. The internet was fast enough in both Japan and Korea, and I was satisfied with the app. I recommend it.

I have been using MobiMatter for a few years both for travel and to supplement my regular cell plan which has limited data. The service has always been solid and the prices excellent. The installation instructions are easy to follow. On the few occasions that I asked for tech support (mostly for my own errors) the response time has been amazing and the support courteous and effective.
