Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Angola travel data guide
A Angola eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Angola that you install before you fly. Plans in Angola run on UNITEL, on 3G/4G. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 5 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 7 to 30 days, and prices start at $22.99. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Angola, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more. Travel data in Angola from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Angola FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Angola?
It connects wherever UNITEL has signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Angola, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 30 days from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Angola?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Is 5 GB enough for a month in Angola?
5 GB over 30 days in Angola suits someone who uses maps and messaging every day and saves video for hotel WiFi. If you expect to hotspot a laptop, pick 10 GB instead. You can also start with 5 GB and top up, since every Angola plan allows it.
What speed does the Angola eSIM run at?
The Angola plans are 3G/4G on UNITEL, and nothing faster than 4G is included. A newer phone still works fine. It connects on 4G or 3G depending on what the network offers where you are standing.
Will I get an Angolan phone number with it?
No, the Angola eSIM is data only and has no phone number. Keep your home SIM in the phone if you need to receive calls or SMS codes from your bank, and use the eSIM for everything that runs over the internet.
When should I install my Angola eSIM?
Install it at home before you fly, while you are on WiFi. Installing does not start the plan. The days begin when the eSIM first connects to a network in Angola, so there is no penalty for being early.
Can I keep my home SIM switched on in Angola?
Yes, both lines can be active at once in Angola. Set the eSIM as the line for mobile data and turn data roaming off on your home line, so your home carrier does not bill you for data while calls and texts still reach you.
What happens when my Angola data runs out?
The connection stops when the allowance is used up or the days end, whichever comes first. All five Angola plans support top up, so you can add data to the same eSIM from your RoamZivo account without installing anything new.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
