Ivory Coast travel data guide
A Ivory Coast eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Ivory Coast that you install before you fly. Plans in Ivory Coast 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 11 plans to choose from. The data size is 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 Ivory Coast and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Ivory Coast, 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 Ivory Coast from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Ivory Coast FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Ivory Coast?
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 Ivory Coast, 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 Ivory Coast?
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.
Why is there only one fixed plan for Ivory Coast?
At the moment the Ivory Coast list has a single fixed plan, 3 GB valid for 15 days. Everything else is unlimited, with either 1 GB or 2 GB a day at full speed. Pick unlimited if 3 GB looks too small for your stay.
Which network does the Ivory Coast eSIM use?
The Ivory Coast eSIM uses Orange, listed as 4G on our plans. It is the only network these plans connect to, and your phone joins it automatically after you switch the eSIM on.
Can I get an Ivory Coast eSIM for a full month?
Yes, but only as an unlimited plan. The 30 day unlimited plans for Ivory Coast give 1 GB or 2 GB a day at full speed and then slow to 1 Mbps. The fixed plan ends after 15 days.
When does the 15 day plan begin?
It begins when the eSIM first connects to a network in Ivory Coast. Buying and installing in advance does not use any of the 15 days, so you can prepare everything at home.
What do I need to install the eSIM?
You need an eSIM capable phone that is carrier unlocked, the QR code from our email, and a WiFi connection. With those, installing an Ivory Coast eSIM is a matter of scanning the code and following the prompts.
Is hotspot allowed in Ivory Coast?
Yes, every Ivory Coast plan allows hotspot. On unlimited plans, whatever a second device uses counts toward your 1 GB or 2 GB of full speed data for the day.
What happens when the 3 GB is used up?
The fixed Ivory Coast plan stops carrying data once 3 GB is used. If the plan card showed top up for it, you can add data. If not, buy an unlimited plan for the days you have left.
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.
