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 Nigeria, enable the eSIM line, and you are online before leaving the airport.
All Nigeria eSIM plans
Bolt from the curb at LOS, a pin that sits in a compound without a street number, and a generator that just killed the café Wi-Fi: Lagos assumes you have data. An eSIM is online in arrivals without a mall registration that wants more paperwork than your jet lag can offer.
Install it before you fly. The first useful thing it does is show whether the bridge is a parking lot tonight, not whether you can find a kiosk that still has a clerk.
