Touching down in Dakar with a dead phone is no way to start a trip. With a Senegal eSIM, you're online before you reach baggage claim, ready to book a taxi, message home, or pull up a map of the medina.
Why use an eSIM in Senegal
An eSIM is a digital SIM you install by scanning a QR code. There's no plastic to swap, no shop to find, and no shock roaming bill from your home carrier.
- Activate in minutes before you fly
- Keep your regular number for calls and WhatsApp
- Pay local-style data prices, not roaming rates
- Top up anytime from your phone

Senegal has solid mobile coverage on three operators: Orange (Sonatel), the market leader with the widest reach, Free, and Expresso. You'll get reliable 4G/LTE across cities and most towns, with 5G rolling out in greater Dakar.
Expect strong signal in Dakar, the tourist hub of Saly, and the historic city of Saint-Louis. Coverage thins out in remote areas like parts of the Casamance, but main roads stay connected.

1. Buy a Senegal eSIM online and check out by email. 2. Scan the QR code we send you, or tap to install on a supported phone. 3. Land and connect - turn on data roaming for the eSIM line and you're online.

FAQ
Will my phone work with an eSIM? Most phones from the last few years support eSIM, including recent iPhones, Google Pixel, and Samsung Galaxy models. Check your settings for an "Add eSIM" option.
When should I install it? Install before you travel using Wi-Fi, then simply switch it on when you land in Senegal. You can set the activation to start on arrival.
Can I keep my WhatsApp number? Yes. Your eSIM adds data only, so WhatsApp, calls, and texts stay tied to your usual number.
