Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Sudan travel data guide
A Sudan eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Sudan that you install before you fly. Plans in Sudan run on Zain, on 3G/4G. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 3 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 5 GB, validity from 7 to 30 days, and prices start at $11.99. 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 Sudan, 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. Travel data in Sudan from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Sudan FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Sudan?
It connects wherever Zain 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 Sudan, not at purchase. The plan selected above (5 GB) runs for 30 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 Sudan?
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.
How many eSIM plans do you have for Sudan?
We have three plans for Sudan: 1 GB for 7 days, 3 GB for 15 days and 5 GB for 30 days. All three run on Zain, allow hotspot and support top up. There is no unlimited plan.
Is 5 GB enough for a month in Sudan?
5 GB is enough for a month in Sudan if you use mobile data for messages, email, maps and light browsing. It will not cover frequent video calls. If you run short, you can top up the same eSIM, since all Sudan plans support it.
Which network will I be on in Sudan?
You will be on Zain in Sudan, listed as 4G in our catalogue. The plans are labelled 3G/4G, so the phone may use 3G where 4G is not available. Zain is the only operator on these plans.
Should I install the Sudan eSIM before I travel?
Yes, install it before you travel, at home and over WiFi. The validity period does not begin until the eSIM first connects to a network in Sudan. Arriving with it installed means one less thing to arrange.
Do I keep my home SIM in the phone?
Yes, keep your home SIM in the phone. The Sudan eSIM handles mobile data and your home SIM keeps your number for calls and texts. Turn off data roaming on the home SIM so it does not use data abroad.
Can I top up my Sudan eSIM without reinstalling?
Yes, a top up adds data to the eSIM that is already on your phone. There is no new QR code and no second install. You do need an internet connection to order it, so top up before your data is completely gone.
Can I use hotspot on a Sudan eSIM?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all three Sudan plans. Keep in mind that the plans are 1 GB, 3 GB and 5 GB. A laptop can use that quickly, so limit hotspot to short tasks or top up first.
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.
