Burkina Faso eSIM from $8.49 — 4G on local partner networks

Your TravelNet eSIM connects to the strongest local partner networks in Burkina Faso, with 4G/LTE coverage across major cities, airports, and popular tourist areas. The eSIM automatically selects the best available signal wherever you are, with no manual setup. Coverage can be lighter in very remote or rural areas, but stays reliable along the main routes and destinations.

Install your Burkina Faso eSIM before departure while on Wi-Fi, then activate it once you arrive. The validity period starts at your first connection to a local network in Burkina Faso, not at purchase. On arrival, switch on cellular data and data roaming for the TravelNet line, and it connects automatically, usually within a minute of landing.

Yes, without any issue. Your Burkina Faso eSIM provides data only, so WhatsApp stays tied to your usual number with all your contacts, groups, and chat history. You can send messages, make voice and video calls, and share photos exactly as you do at home. The eSIM simply supplies the internet connection that powers these apps during your trip to Burkina Faso.

Just scan the QR code emailed to you after purchase. On iPhone: Settings > Cellular > Add Cellular Plan; on Android: Settings > Connections > SIM Manager > Add eSIM. Installation takes under two minutes and is done on Wi-Fi before you leave. The profile stays dormant until you arrive in Burkina Faso, where it activates automatically.

Yes, tethering is included in all our Burkina Faso eSIM plans at no extra cost. Turn on Personal Hotspot in your phone settings to connect a laptop, tablet, or a travel companion's phone. It is handy for remote work or for sharing internet with family. Hotspot availability ultimately depends on the local partner network in Burkina Faso.

If your eSIM QR code was never scanned, you get a full refund. Activated but faulty: replacement first, refund only if the replacement is impossible. Activated and working: the service has been rendered, no refund. Contact us within 14 days of purchase. Remember to check your device compatibility before purchase.

Most recent smartphones are compatible with the Burkina Faso eSIM: iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, plus many Huawei, Oppo, and Motorola models. To check yours, dial *#06# — if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. Make sure your device is also carrier-unlocked before buying a plan.

Yes. Most recent smartphones run in Dual SIM mode, keeping your physical SIM active for calls and texts on your usual number while the TravelNet eSIM handles data in Burkina Faso. Set the eSIM as your default data line in settings, and both work side by side with no swapping required. You stay reachable while browsing on local data.

Track your data straight from your phone settings: Settings > Cellular on iPhone, or Settings > Connections > Data Usage on Android. There you can see how much the eSIM line has used in real time. TravelNet also sends email notifications as you approach the limit of your Burkina Faso plan, so you are never caught by surprise.

Speeds depend on the local network and coverage. In major cities in Burkina Faso, you can reach up to 300 Mbps on 4G+/LTE. Real speeds vary with congestion and your location, which remains more than enough for streaming, maps, and video calls.

Our Burkina Faso eSIM plans are valid for the duration shown at purchase. When a plan expires, you can buy a new one or, on active eSIMs, add a top-up without reinstalling anything. The extra data is credited within minutes from your account. For longer stays, our support can recommend the most suitable plan for your needs.

Yes, your Burkina Faso eSIM is fully VPN-compatible. Use your usual VPN app exactly as you would at home to secure your connection on public Wi-Fi or reach your regular services. The eSIM provides the internet connection and the VPN runs on top of it with no special setup. This is recommended in countries that restrict access to certain sites.

An eSIM is tied to a single device and cannot be installed on several phones at once. To get other devices online in Burkina Faso, use tethering: your phone shares the eSIM data with a laptop, tablet, or another phone. A single plan can therefore keep multiple devices connected through your hotspot, which is ideal when travelling with others.

First, check that cellular data and roaming are enabled for the eSIM line, then restart your phone — this fixes most cases. If nothing changes, select an operator manually in your network settings. If the problem continues in Burkina Faso, our support team replies by email 7 days a week to help you get reconnected quickly.

No, you keep your usual phone number. The TravelNet eSIM simply adds a data line to your device without touching your main SIM or your number. You keep receiving calls and texts as normal on your original line while using the eSIM to get online in Burkina Faso. There is no need to change or share a new number.

No — our Burkina Faso eSIM plans run on 4G/LTE, the most widely deployed network in the country. That is more than enough for streaming, browsing, maps, and video calls. Your phone automatically connects to the strongest available 4G signal, with no configuration needed.

No cancellation is needed. Our Burkina Faso eSIM plans are prepaid: they stop automatically when their validity period ends, with no commitment and no recurring charges, so there are no surprise fees. If you would like to remove the profile from your phone, simply delete the eSIM in Settings > Cellular once your trip is over.

Yes, you can buy a Burkina Faso eSIM as a gift or for someone else. The QR code and instructions are emailed after purchase, so you just forward them to the recipient, who scans the code on their own compatible phone. It is a convenient way to set up connectivity for a family member or friend ahead of their trip.

With a Burkina Faso eSIM, there is no airport queue, no shop to find, and no paperwork to fill in. Your plan is bought online and ready before you leave, and you keep your usual number. The price is often lower than a local SIM card, especially for short stays, and installation takes just two minutes.

A detailed invoice is automatically emailed after each purchase, summarising your Burkina Faso eSIM plan and the amount paid. For a company invoice, enter your billing details during checkout. You can also find your full order history and download your receipts at any time from your TravelNet account, so your paperwork is always available.
