Buy an eSIM for Gambia before you fly

An Ahlano eSIM is a prepaid data plan that lives on your phone instead of a plastic card. You pick a plan for Gambia, pay by card or Apple Pay, and receive your eSIM straight away. Plans start at USD 9.60, so you can see the price before you decide.

Your phone needs to support eSIM and be unlocked. If you are not sure, check the list of phones that support eSIM first.

Which eSIM plan suits your trip to Gambia?

There are 11 plans for Gambia, with validity from 1 to 30 days and up to 20 GB of data. A simple way to choose:

• Short stay: a smaller plan covers maps, messages and ride bookings for a week.
• Two weeks: pick a mid-size plan if you share photos or make video calls now and then.
• Longer trip: this month-long plan gives you room for daily use over 30 days.

If you use more data than expected, you can check what is left and top up from your account.

What are the downsides of an eSIM?

An eSIM needs an eSIM-compatible, unlocked phone, and older models may not support it. You also need an internet connection to install it, which is why setting it up at home is easier. Once those boxes are ticked, you skip the queue for a local SIM card and keep your usual number in your phone.
