Guinea-Bissau travel data guide
A Guinea-Bissau eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Guinea-Bissau that you install before you fly. Plans in Guinea-Bissau 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 13 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 3 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $9.99. 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.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Guinea-Bissau, 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 Guinea-Bissau from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Guinea-Bissau FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Guinea-Bissau?
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 Guinea-Bissau, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 15 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 Guinea-Bissau?
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 there a five day eSIM for Guinea-Bissau?
Not exactly. Guinea-Bissau plans last 1, 3, 7, 15 or 30 days. For a five day visit, take the 7 day length, either as 1 GB fixed or as an unlimited plan. The extra two days simply go unused.
What does 2 GB per day mean on an unlimited Guinea-Bissau plan?
It means the first 2 GB you use each day in Guinea-Bissau run at full speed. After that the plan keeps working at up to 1 Mbps until the day resets. There is also a version with 1 GB per day.
Will a Guinea-Bissau eSIM give me a local number?
No. The Guinea-Bissau eSIM is data only, without a number, calls or SMS. Keep your home SIM active if you need to be reached by phone, and use internet calling apps over the eSIM for everything else.
Can I set up the Guinea-Bissau eSIM without WiFi?
You need some internet connection to download the eSIM, and WiFi at home is the easy way. Trying to do it after landing in Guinea-Bissau means finding WiFi at the airport or hotel first, so install before you go.
Does buying the plan start the validity?
No. A Guinea-Bissau plan starts counting when the eSIM first connects to a network in the country. The purchase date and the install date do not matter, which lets you prepare everything well before the flight.
Can I top up a fixed Guinea-Bissau plan?
Some Guinea-Bissau plans support top up and some do not, and the plan details show which. Because the fixed plans are small, check this before buying. Otherwise plan on buying an unlimited plan if you run out.
Is hotspot allowed in Guinea-Bissau?
Yes, all Guinea-Bissau plans allow hotspot. Sharing with a laptop uses data fast. On the unlimited plans it eats into the 1 GB or 2 GB of full speed data for the day, so keep heavy downloads for WiFi.
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.
