Why use an eSIM in Democratic Republic of the Congo?
Many Canadians travel to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to visit family, for business, or to support relief and development efforts. A local DR Congo eSIM keeps you connected at local rates throughout your stay, without expensive Canadian roaming fees.
Common Questions
Does eSIM coverage work across DR Congo?
Coverage is generally available in Kinshasa and main cities. Coverage availability can vary significantly by region. Check the latest plan details before purchasing.
How much data do I need for a DR Congo trip?
Data needs vary by destination and length of stay. A mid-size plan provides a reasonable buffer for most visits.
Can I keep my Canadian number while using this eSIM?
Yes, but to avoid any roaming charges, turn your Canadian carrier line off entirely in your phone's cellular settings before you land. Disabling data roaming alone isn't enough on its own, so do not use Airplane Mode, as this disables your eSIM too. Use your eSIM for all data, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime, or iMessage for calls and messages. If you need to receive an OTP or two-factor text, turn your Canadian line on briefly, then off again. When you return home, turn it back on and everything returns to normal.
