Ghana travel data guide
A Ghana eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Ghana that you install before you fly. Plans in Ghana run on Vodafone, 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 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $2.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on some of the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Africa eSIM covers Ghana and 20 other countries on one plan, from $8.99. The Global eSIM covers Ghana and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Ghana, 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 Ghana from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Ghana FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Ghana?
It connects wherever Vodafone 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 Ghana, 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 Ghana?
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.
What is the best eSIM for Ghana for a two week visit?
For two weeks in Ghana, light users can take 3 GB valid for 15 days. Anyone who uses data freely should take the 15 day unlimited plan, which gives full speed up to 3 GB per day and slows after that.
Is there a large fixed data plan for Ghana?
No, the biggest fixed plan for Ghana is 5 GB over 30 days. If you need more than that, choose an unlimited plan. Those give up to 3 GB at full speed every day.
Which operator does the eSIM for Ghana use?
The eSIM for Ghana uses Vodafone, the only operator listed for these plans. Plans are sold as 3G/4G or 4G/5G. There is no second network to switch to if that one has no signal.
Do the days start when I buy the Ghana plan?
No, the days start when the eSIM first connects to a network in Ghana. You can buy and install it at home in advance, and the validity period waits until you arrive.
Can I scan the QR code after I land in Ghana?
You can, but you need an internet connection to download the eSIM, so it is safer to do it at home. Airport WiFi is not something to depend on when you have just landed.
Why am I asked to verify my login while using the Ghana eSIM?
Traffic on the Ghana plans is routed through Austria, so a service may see a login from an unexpected country and ask you to confirm it. That is a routing effect and not a fault with the eSIM.
Can I use my phone as a hotspot in Ghana?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Ghana plans. On an unlimited plan the shared data counts toward the 3 GB daily full speed amount, and on a fixed plan it comes straight out of your allowance.
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.
