How to choose the right plan
- Light use — maps, messaging and browsing — needs about 1 GB per day.
- Heavy use — social video, streaming or hotspotting a laptop — plan for 2-3 GB per day or pick the largest plan.
- Match the validity to your trip length, with a day or two of buffer for delays.
How activation works
- Buy the plan and receive your eSIM by email within minutes.
- Install it from your phone settings while still at home — no store visit, no plastic SIM.
- Land in Burkina Faso, enable the eSIM line, and you are online before leaving the airport.
All Burkina Faso eSIM plans
Ouaga after a night flight is a poor place to stand at an Orange desk with a passport. A Burkina Faso eSIM is online so your pickup pin and WhatsApp land with you.
Install it before you fly. Capital 4G is enough for messages and maps. If you leave Ouagadougou, download offline maps and treat signal as uncertain — the eSIM is not a coverage promise for the Sahel.
