About eSIMs for Zambia
Which operators will my phone use in Zambia?
Airtel. These plans use only this network in Zambia.
Is 5G supported?
Yes. Operators here are listed with 4G; each plan's networks show which.
What happens when the data runs out?
It depends on the plan: some keep a usable speed of 1 Mbps; others drop to 384 Kbps / 512 Kbps, which is enough for messaging; others stop data.
When does the validity start?
It starts when the eSIM first connects to a network. You can install it before you go.
Can I use a hotspot to share data in Zambia?
Every plan here states personal hotspot support, so you can share data with a laptop or travel companions. It comes out of this eSIM’s allowance.
Can I install the same eSIM on a second phone?
No. Each QR code installs once. If you delete the eSIM or reset the phone, it can't be installed again, and once it has connected to a network it can't be refunded.
Can I top up data or extend validity?
Some plans add data, some add days, and some can't be topped up; each plan says which. Top up from the eSIM in My eSIMs. There's nothing new to install.
Are these prices tax inclusive?
Yes. The listed price is the final price.
