Republic of Congo travel data guide
A Republic of Congo eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Republic of Congo that you install before you fly. Plans in Republic of Congo 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 12 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 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 Republic of Congo and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Republic of Congo, 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 Republic of Congo from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Republic of Congo FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Republic of Congo?
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 Republic of Congo, not at purchase. The plan selected above (1 GB) runs for 7 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 Republic of Congo?
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 this eSIM for Republic of Congo or DR Congo?
This eSIM is for Republic of Congo. DR Congo is a different country and these plans do not work there. If you need both, the Global plan includes Republic of Congo and DR Congo on one eSIM.
Is there a fixed plan for a month in Republic of Congo?
No. The longest fixed plan for Republic of Congo is 3 GB for 15 days. For a month, choose the 30 day unlimited plan, which gives full speed up to 1 GB or 2 GB per day and slower data after that.
Is 1 GB enough for a week in Republic of Congo?
It is enough for messaging, email and occasional maps. 1 GB for 7 days will not cover video calls or streaming in Republic of Congo. For that kind of use, the 7 day unlimited plan is the better fit.
Can I install the eSIM after I arrive?
You can, but you will need WiFi to download it. Installing at home before you leave for Republic of Congo is easier. The plan does not start until the eSIM first connects there, so nothing is lost.
Do I keep my own number?
Yes. Your own SIM stays in the phone and your number does not change. The Republic of Congo eSIM adds a data line next to it. WhatsApp and similar apps keep working with your existing number over the eSIM's data.
Can I tether a laptop on the unlimited plan?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Republic of Congo plans. Tethered data counts toward the 1 GB or 2 GB daily amount. After that, both devices run at a maximum of 1 Mbps until the next day.
Who do I contact if something goes wrong?
Email support. They answer seven days a week. Say that the plan is for Republic of Congo, and include the email address you used to buy it so they can find the order quickly.
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.
