Niger travel data guide
A Niger eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Niger that you install before you fly. Plans in Niger 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 Niger and 20 other countries on one plan, from $8.99. The Global eSIM covers Niger and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Niger, 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 Niger from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Niger FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Niger?
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 Niger, 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 Niger?
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 the Niger eSIM 3G or 4G?
It depends on the plan. Niger plans are labelled 3G, 3G/4G or 4G/5G, and the operator, Airtel, is listed at 4G. Check the label on the plan card. Choose one that includes 4G if speed matters for your work.
How much data do I need for two weeks in Niger?
For two weeks in Niger with light use, 3 GB for 15 days is the fixed plan made for it. If you will be on video calls or sharing data with a laptop, take the 15 day unlimited plan with 3 GB per day.
Does one eSIM cover Niger and Nigeria?
Yes, the Africa plan covers both Niger and Nigeria. The Niger country plans on this page work in Niger only. If your trip crosses that border, compare the Africa plan before buying a single country plan.
Should I install the eSIM before arriving in Niger?
Yes. Installing needs an internet connection, and home WiFi is the dependable choice. The plan does not begin until the eSIM first connects to a network in Niger, so you keep all your days by installing early.
Will the eSIM work in my older phone?
Only if the phone supports eSIM, which many older models do not. Check the compatible devices page for your exact model. The phone must also be unlocked from its original carrier before it can use a Niger eSIM.
Why is my connection slow in Niger?
There are three common reasons. Your plan may be labelled 3G, you may have passed the daily full speed amount on an unlimited plan, or Airtel's signal may be weak where you are. Check the first two on your plan card.
Can I add data to my Niger plan?
Top up is offered on some Niger plans, and the plan card shows which. If yours supports it, the data is added to the eSIM you already have. If not, buying a second plan is the alternative.
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.
