An eSIM is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a data plan on your phone without needing to insert a physical card. With a travel eSIM, you can buy your plan online, install it in seconds, and have internet at your destination from the very first moment—without searching for stores or paying roaming fees.
MyRoamUp plans include mobile data, so they don’t offer traditional calls or SMS. However, you can still communicate using your usual number through apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram, Skype, Google Meet, or Zoom, which work perfectly with your internet connection.
In cities such as Niamey, the country’s capital, there is mobile infrastructure that allows you to use mobile data to browse the Internet, check maps, or communicate during your trip. As is the case in many African destinations, coverage may vary outside urban areas.
In some hotels or accommodations in Niamey and other cities, you may find Wi-Fi available for guests. However, many travelers prefer to have mobile Internet in Niger so they can also stay connected when they are away from their accommodation.
Most recent smartphones are already eSIM compatible. These include many iPhone XS and newer iPhones, as well as models from Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Huawei, Oppo, and Xiaomi.
You can check if your phone supports eSIM in several ways:
Dial #06# on your phone
If an EID code appears on the screen, your device is eSIM compatible.
Check your phone settings
On many devices, you can find it under:
Settings → Mobile Data / Connections → Add eSIM or Add Mobile Plan.
Check the list of compatible devices
If you’re unsure, you can review the list of eSIM-compatible devices on our website or on the manufacturer’s website.
If your phone is compatible, you’ll be able to install your eSIM in just a few minutes and have internet at your destination without changing your regular SIM.
No problem. If you use up all the GB in your plan, you can easily top up your data from your private customer area on MyRoamUp.
Simply log in to your account and choose the GB package that best suits your trip. The top-up will be activated within minutes so you can keep using the internet at your destination without interruptions.
Yes. Travelers can use mobile data in Niger to access online services, look up information about the destination, or stay in touch during their trip.
This is especially useful when moving around the city or when you need to check directions.
A convenient option is to use an eSIM for Niger, which allows you to activate mobile data directly on your phone.
This way, you can have Internet during your trip without having to change your SIM card or look for a store when you arrive in the country.
