Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest eSIM for Tanzania?
The cheapest Tanzania eSIM on MobiMatter costs $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 tourists and business travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Tanzania plans start at $4.49 for 1 GB, and you install the eSIM before you fly, so you have data when you land, without queuing for a tourist SIM at the airport. 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 Airtel, Halotel, tiGO (Yas), and Vodacom. Every plan names its network, so you can choose the carrier you prefer before you buy.
Which eSIM is best for Tanzania?
Our best plan for Tanzania right now is 10 GB for 30 days at $24.99 from Airalo. We rank plans on quality and value for money, and this one comes first in the list. If price per GB is all that matters, the lowest right now is $2.00 per GB, with 20 GB for 30 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 models sold in mainland China.
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.

Affordable prices and has many options, Very responsive customer service.

I used it smoothly and quickly in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, and Bulgaria. Sparks connects to the most suitable network for your location at that moment, allowing for convenient use. Depending on your travel plans, annual options are very advantageous because it consumes very little internet data there, unlike in Türkiye.

Used this app for mobile data while in Malaysia for a few days last week. I rate it 10/10 for ease of use, affordability and for effectiveness too. After 5 days of regular usage, I still have 8GB left out of 10GB
