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 Chad, enable the eSIM line, and you are online before leaving the airport.
All Chad eSIM plans
N'Djamena after a long-haul is a poor place to learn a kiosk's passport ritual. A Chad eSIM is online so the pickup and the first WhatsApp land with you.
Install it before you fly. City 4G covers messages and maps. If you leave N'Djamena, treat coverage as uncertain and keep offline maps — the eSIM does not create a Sahel network.
