Common Questions

The details worth knowing about your Somalia eSIM

Your eSIM will connect to Hormuud Telecom, Telesom, Golis Telecom, or Somtel. All use 4G on bands B1 and B3. Telesom and Golis operate mainly in Somaliland, while Hormuud and Somtel cover other urban areas. No operator has public 5G.

Yes, if your phone supports 4G bands B1 (2100 MHz) and B3 (1800 MHz). Most global phones sold after 2015 include these bands. Phones lacking both bands, like some older US models, may get no 4G signal in Somalia, falling back to slower 3G or no service.

No. This eSIM is for Somalia only. Coverage stops at the border. If you cross into Somaliland, the eSIM works because it is part of Somalia. Separate eSIMs are required for Ethiopia, Kenya, or Djibouti.

No filtering or throttling is reported on these operators in Somalia. Data runs at the network’s normal speed. Median download speed as of July 2025 is 17.69 Mbps. No VPN blocks or content restrictions are known.

Coverage is concentrated in urban areas and along main roads. Rural central and southern Somalia have no service. On the Hargeisa–Berbera route, Telesom provides patchy 4G in towns. Once you leave paved roads, expect no signal. Mountains and islands also lack coverage.
