Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest eSIM for DR Congo?
DR Congo is covered by multi-country plans only, and the cheapest is $5.99 for 1 GB, valid for 7 days. Prices come live from 4 vetted providers and change often; the price on this page is the current one.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for DR Congo?
For most travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. DR Congo 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 DR Congo at no extra cost, you may not need one.
Which networks do DR Congo eSIMs use?
DR Congo eSIMs on MobiMatter run on 3 networks: Airtel, Vodacom, and Africell. Airtel carries the most plans (10 plans). Each plan names its network, so you choose your carrier before you buy.
Which eSIM is best for DR Congo?
No plan covers DR Congo alone right now, so the choice is a multi-country plan. The top one is 10 GB for 15 days at $29.99 from TSimTech, covering 20 countries. We rank plans on quality and value for money. If price per GB is all that matters, the lowest right now is $2.88 per GB, with 26 GB for 365 days.
How much data do I need for a week in DR Congo?
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 DR Congo plan with at least 5 GB for a week or longer is 5 GB for 15 days at $18.99.
Do DR Congo eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
DR Congo plans currently run on 4G/LTE. Hotspot (tethering) works on every plan, so you can share your data with other devices.
Does a DR Congo eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most DR Congo 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 DR Congo 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 DR Congo 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 accidentally deleted my e sim and couldn’t download it again so I talked to costumer service and they worked for like 2 hours to sort everything out for me and at the end everything worked again 100/10 service

Purchased eSIM in Australia and set it up in Azerbaijan. Having never used an eSIM before, I had a few ‘user issues’. These were sorted out very quickly via email and me sending a screen shot of my ‘attempted’ setup. Technician got back to me in very short order with some simple instructions and now all good. Great efficient service.

I bought 6GB for my Paris and Benelux tour. It was more than enough. It worked perfectly everywhere. To activate it, you need to enable the mobile data option.
