skipped the sim line at AFRICA Arrival Terminal & Gates, super easy
Installed it on airport wifi before boarding so everything was ready when we landed. Switched between Mascom and Orange automatically while driving from Botswana to Central African Republic. super easy experience, 10/10 would reccomend
★★★★★
Pålitligt nät med Orange under hela resan
Första gången jag testade eSIM i Africa och allt gick hur smidigt som helst. Mitt vanliga nummer var igång för WhatsApp och bank-sms medan eSIM skötte all surf. Sparade rejält jämfört med dyr roaming, rekommenderas varmt!
★★★★☆
Good Mascom coverage in Botswana and easy qr setup
Connected automatically to Mascom at AFRICA Arrival Terminal & Gates before we even reached passport control. dropped to 4G LTE for a bit in rural areas outside Burkina Faso, but stayed super reliable overall.
