English
An eSIM for Ivory Coast is a digital data plan for the phone you already own. There is no physical SIM card, no airport lines, and no passport needed. Your plan is ready on your SIMAREA account before you even leave home.
It works safely alongside your normal SIM. You keep your own number for calls and important text messages. Your data goes through the SIMAREA plan. Just turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid high bills.
Coverage comes from Orange, the one network these plans use. Your phone connects to it when you arrive.
If you stay longer, some plans can be topped up with more data; a fixed one needs a new plan.
What it is not: a local phone number. If you need a number for verification codes, see virtual numbers.

Data plans for your trip
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for Ivory Coast: after its daily full-speed allowance it keeps you connected at a lower speed, and it is billed per day for the days you choose. Fixed plans are one price for the term shown. Nothing on this page is an estimate.

When your days start
Every plan here starts counting at its first connection in Ivory Coast, so you can install the eSIM at home before you go.
More data or more days
Some plans here can be topped up on the same eSIM; the others end, and you buy a new plan.
Where your traffic exits
Every plan here routes traffic through the United Kingdom, so your IP address is not in Ivory Coast. Apps that check your location see that.
Need an Ivory Coast number too?
This eSIM is data only, with no Ivory Coast number. For a number that receives SMS, see virtual numbers.
Using an eSIM in Ivory Coast: Top Questions
How do I get online when I arrive?
Install your eSIM before your trip, then turn on data roaming for it when you arrive. Your phone joins one of the plan’s partner networks.
Which networks does the Ivory Coast eSIM use?
Plans here connect to Orange.
Is 5G included, or do I pay extra?
Plans here run on 4G/LTE; 5G is not confirmed on any of them yet.
Which country will my IP address be in?
Traffic routes through the United Kingdom, so websites see an IP there rather than in Ivory Coast. Banking and streaming apps can notice the difference.
How long do Ivory Coast eSIM plans last?
From 7 to 30 days.
An unused plan stays valid for 180 days after you buy it.
Will I still get my bank codes?
Yes. The eSIM only handles your internet. Your regular SIM still handles calls and texts, so you will get your bank codes. Just turn off data roaming on your regular SIM to avoid extra charges.
What if I stay longer on my trip?
Some plans here can be topped up on the same eSIM; others are fixed.
A fixed plan stops when its data is used up; the day pass slows down after its daily allowance until the day resets. You will never get a surprise bill.
Do I need a passport to register?
No. Unlike local SIM cards, you do not need an ID or passport. Your eSIM is linked to your SIMAREA account before you leave home.
