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, Yas, Halotel, 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 $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 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.

This was my first e-SIM experience, and believe me, the signal is much better than the lines in Turkey. I traveled to four different cities in Indonesia and got 5G in all of them. 5 GB of internet lasted me three weeks. Thank you.

Excellent customer service team and technical team. They helped me to resolve technical issue within 24hrs prior to my travel when I need to transfer eSIM from old device to the new one. Very patient and responsive in responding to customer feedback and queries. A highly reliable service provider.

I've tried so many esim apps, but MobiMatter is always the cheapest and with the best overall packages. Great customer service as well. Highly recommended!

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.

They have no lies like other companies. I have been using more than two years without any issue till my last travel. I made a mistake and ruined the product. Even so, they have kindly approached and renewed my product free of charge. Kindness is everything.
