Eswatini travel data guide
A Eswatini eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Eswatini that you install before you fly. Plans in Eswatini run on Swazi MTN, 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 3 GB to 5 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $22.99. 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 Eswatini and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Eswatini, 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 Eswatini from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Eswatini FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Eswatini?
It connects wherever Swazi MTN 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 Eswatini, not at purchase. The plan selected above (5 GB) runs for 1 day 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 Eswatini?
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 3 GB enough for a day in Eswatini?
3 GB is plenty for one day in Eswatini. It covers maps, messages, photo uploads and a fair amount of video. The 5 GB day plan only makes sense if you plan to run a hotspot for a laptop or a second person.
Is there a one week fixed plan for Eswatini?
No, Eswatini has no fixed plan for 7 days. The fixed choices are 3 GB or 5 GB for 1 day and 3 GB for 15 days. For a week you can take the 15 day plan or the 7 days unlimited plan.
Does the Global plan work in Eswatini?
Yes, our Global plan also covers Eswatini. Choose it when your trip includes other countries on the same plan. If you are only visiting Eswatini, the country plans give you the day options and the unlimited choices.
Will a 1 day plan start when I install it?
No, a 1 day plan for Eswatini starts when the eSIM first connects to a network there, not at install. Keep the eSIM line turned off until you cross the border, and your day begins at that point.
Can I move the eSIM to another phone later?
Treat the eSIM as tied to the phone you install it on. Decide which device you will carry in Eswatini before scanning the QR code. If you change phones before the trip, email support and ask what is possible for your plan.
What does unlimited mean on an Eswatini plan?
It means the data does not run out, but full speed has a daily amount. In Eswatini that is 1 GB or 3 GB per day depending on the plan. Above it you get up to 1 Mbps until the next day.
I crossed into Eswatini and have no data. What should I check?
First check that the eSIM line is on and selected for mobile data. Then turn on data roaming for that line. Restart the phone if it still shows no service. If Swazi MTN does not appear after that, email our support team.
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.
