Buy an eSIM for Cameroon before you fly

Buying your Cameroon eSIM takes only a few minutes. Pick a plan on this page, pay by card or Apple Pay, and you receive your eSIM with a QR code and a one-tap install link. Many travellers buy a day or two before the trip, while others buy right after landing. Both work, as long as you have a connection to install it.

There are 11 plans for Cameroon, starting at USD 5.56. Each plan has a fixed data amount, up to 20 GB, and a validity between 1 and 30 days.

Prepaid eSIM Cameroon: which plan fits your trip?

Start with the length of your stay, then think about how you use your phone.

• Short visit: a small plan covers maps, messages and ride bookings for about a week. The one-week plan is a simple place to start.
• Two weeks or a family visit: pick a mid-size plan so video calls home do not run you short.
• A month or a work trip: choose a plan that lasts up to 30 days with up to 20 GB of data.

If you run low, you can check the data left and top up, so you do not need to buy the largest plan just in case.

How to use an eSIM in Cameroon

1. Check that your phone supports eSIM and is unlocked. Our list of phones that support eSIM covers iPhone and Android models.
2. Buy your plan and open the install link, or scan the QR code from another screen.
3. Keep your home SIM for calls if you like, and set the travel eSIM as your line for mobile data.
4. Turn on data roaming for the eSIM line when you arrive in Cameroon.

Install the eSIM while you are on good Wi-Fi, ideally before you leave home. It only starts to matter once you land.

Cameroon eSIM FAQs

What are the downsides of using an eSIM?

Your phone must support eSIM and be unlocked, so older or carrier-locked phones may not work. You also need an internet connection to install it, which is why installing before you travel is easier. Once it is set up, it works like a normal data line.

How do I install my Cameroon eSIM?

After you pay, you get a QR code and a one-tap install link. On your eSIM-compatible phone, open the link or scan the code, then choose the travel eSIM for mobile data. Turn on data roaming for that line when you arrive.

Can I check my data and top up during the trip?

Yes. You can see how much data is left and add more if you need it. That way you can start with a smaller plan and top up only when your trip calls for it.

How can I pay for a Cameroon eSIM?

You can pay by card or with Apple Pay. The whole purchase takes a few minutes, and the store works in English and Arabic.

Can I keep my home number while using the eSIM?

On most eSIM-compatible phones you can keep your home SIM active for calls and texts. Set the travel eSIM as your line for mobile data while you are in Cameroon.
