Rwanda Verified Traveler Reviews
skipped the sim line at RW Airfield Arrival Hub, super easy
scanned the qr code at home the night before our flight and it took like 30 seconds. Signal around RW Airfield Arrival Hub and downtown Rwanda Financial Center was rock solid on Airtel all week. honestly the smoothest travel data setup ive used in Rwanda
Prisvärt eSIM för Rwanda, mycket billigare än roaming
Köpte paketet inför vår resa till RW Airfield Arrival Hub och fick mailet direkt. Stark signal med Airtel både inne i Rwanda Financial Center och på väg mot Rwanda Suburban Transport Corridor. På landsbygden bortom Rwanda Waterfront Promenade växlade det till 4G LTE, men inne i städerna var det supersnabbt.
