No pocket Wi-Fi or SIM counter to find when you land in Cameroon, and nothing to return before you fly home. The eSIM is installed before you leave.
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.

Cameroon travel data guide
A Cameroon eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Cameroon that you install before you fly. Plans in Cameroon run on Orange, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 12 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 3 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $10.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Global eSIM covers Cameroon and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Cameroon, 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, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Cameroon from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Cameroon FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Cameroon?
It connects wherever Orange 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 Cameroon, not at purchase. The plan selected above (1 GB) runs for 7 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 Cameroon?
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 a Cameroon eSIM worth it for a short business trip?
Yes, for a short business trip a Cameroon eSIM saves you finding a SIM shop on arrival. The 7 day unlimited plan or the 1 GB plan for 7 days both fit a working week. It is data only, so calls go through your own SIM or an app.
How big is the largest fixed plan for Cameroon?
The largest fixed plan for Cameroon is 3 GB, valid for 15 days. The only other fixed plan is 1 GB for 7 days. Past that, you choose an unlimited plan with 1 GB or 2 GB of full speed data per day.
Will my phone work with a Cameroon eSIM?
Your phone will work if it supports eSIM and is carrier unlocked. Most recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models do, but regional versions differ, so check the model on our compatible devices page.
Can I install the Cameroon eSIM after I land?
You can, but you need WiFi to download it, so installing at home is safer. The plan does not start on install. The days begin when the eSIM first connects to a network in Cameroon.
When will I receive the QR code?
The QR code is sent by email after your payment is completed, and a copy is kept in your customer account. If the email is not in your inbox, check the spam folder and then the account page.
What speed do I get after the daily amount is used?
After the daily amount, which is 1 GB or 2 GB depending on your Cameroon plan, the speed is up to 1 Mbps. That is enough for text messages and simple pages. Full speed returns the following day.
Is top up available on Cameroon plans?
Top up is available on some Cameroon plans, not all. Check the plan card before buying. On a plan without top up, running out means buying a new plan, so size it with some room to spare.
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.
