Gabon travel data guide
A Gabon eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Gabon that you install before you fly. Plans in Gabon run on Airtel, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 18 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $8.99. 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 Africa eSIM covers Gabon and 20 other countries on one plan, from $8.99. The Global eSIM covers Gabon and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Gabon, 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 Gabon from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Gabon FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Gabon?
It connects wherever Airtel 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 Gabon, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 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 Gabon?
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.
Which network does the Gabon eSIM use?
The Gabon eSIM uses Airtel, the only operator on these plans, listed as 4G in our catalogue. Plans are marked 3G/4G or 4G/5G. We suggest expecting 4G where there is signal.
How much data do I need for a month in Gabon?
For a month in Gabon, 5 GB suits light use with WiFi at your accommodation, and 10 GB gives more room for maps, email and social media. If mobile data is your only connection, take the 30 days unlimited plan with 3 GB per day at full speed.
Is the Africa plan or the Gabon plan better?
The Gabon plan is better for a trip to Gabon alone, because it offers 1 day plans and top up on some plans. The Africa plan is better when you visit several countries it covers, since one eSIM serves all of them.
When should I install my Gabon eSIM?
Install it before you leave home, while you have reliable WiFi. Installing does not use any of your days. The plan starts counting when the eSIM first connects to a network in Gabon.
Will the eSIM work in my phone?
It will work if your phone supports eSIM and is carrier unlocked. Check your model on our compatible devices page. Phones bought on a contract are sometimes locked, and a locked phone cannot use the Gabon eSIM.
Can I hotspot from my phone in Gabon?
Yes, every Gabon plan allows hotspot. On a fixed plan the shared data comes out of your total. On an unlimited plan it counts toward the 1 GB or 3 GB of full speed data for the day.
How do I see how much data I have left?
Your phone's mobile data settings show how much the eSIM line has used. Reset that counter when you land in Gabon so the figure matches your plan. If you need the exact balance, email support with your order details.
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.
