Guinea-Bissau Airport arrival: have data when you land

The easiest moment to sort out your data is before you leave home. Buy your Guinea-Bissau plan, install the eSIM while you still have Wi-Fi, and switch it on when the plane touches down. You can message family, book a ride or open a map from the arrivals hall, with no queue for a local SIM card.

Your phone needs to be an eSIM-compatible phone and unlocked. If you are not sure, check the list of phones that support eSIM before you buy.

Bissau city and beyond: which plan fits your trip

Ahlano offers 11 plans for Guinea-Bissau, from USD 6.68. Each one gives you a fixed amount of data and a set number of days, so you pay once and know what you have.

• A short visit: the plan with 1 days suits a quick work trip or a family visit where you mostly need maps and messages.
• A longer stay: the plan with 30 days and 20 GB gives you more room for calls over apps, photos and daily browsing.
• Somewhere in between: a middle option covers a trip of a couple of weeks.

If you plan to use a lot of data, pick the larger plan from the start. You can also check the data left and top up later if you need more.
