Common Questions

The details worth knowing about your DR Congo eSIM

No. This eSIM is for DR Congo only. You would need a separate eSIM for Rwanda or a regional Africa plan. DR Congo's networks do not extend across the border, and roaming agreements are not included in this product.

It will struggle. Vodacom uses 4G on bands B1, B3, and B5. Orange uses B1 and B3. Airtel uses B1, B3, and B8. None of the three operators support band B20. Without B1 or B3, your phone may drop to 2G or 3G in many areas.

No. Airtel does not operate any 5G network in DR Congo. Only Vodacom and Orange have 5G, and it is limited to parts of Kinshasa and Lubumbashi. If you are on Airtel, you will have 4G at best in those cities.

Yes. DR Congo requires SIM registration with a valid passport or national ID. When you activate this eSIM, you will be prompted to submit your identification details. Without completing registration, the eSIM will not connect to any local network.

Almost none. The dense tropical forest in the central Congo Basin has near-zero coverage from any operator. Vodacom, Orange, and Airtel do not provide service in that region. Expect no connectivity until you return to populated or urban areas.
