Choose your data plan
Which plan type is right for you?
Fixed data plans give you a set amount of data, for example 1 GB or 5 GB, to use at full speed for the whole plan period. When it runs out, you top up or buy again. Pick this if you know roughly how much you'll use.
Pay As You Go is not a plan at all. You add credit once and it comes off by the megabyte at the local rate as you use it, so you never pay for data you do not finish. Credit never expires, data pauses when the balance hits zero, and the same eSIM keeps working across every country we cover. It costs more per gigabyte than a plan, so pick this for light or hard to predict use rather than heavy days.

Unitel leads
Unitel carries the large majority of Angola's mobile lines and Africell is a clear second, according to regulator INACOM data reported by Expansão. Canada's travel advice adds that telecom interruptions are common and international calls can be hard to place from outside Luanda.
Your phone
Phone out of sight
Luanda has a high level of crime and muggers can be armed. UK advice is not to use a mobile in public places or walk around the city, especially alone or after dark, so plan your route and use a pre-arranged or hotel car.
Paying
Kwanzas and Visa
Canada's travel advice says cards work only at a few of Luanda's largest hotels and restaurants, with Visa the most widely accepted. ATMs pay out kwanzas only and often run out or malfunction. If you bring US dollars, newer notes are preferred because older ones are easier to counterfeit.
Safety
Cameras draw attention
Don't use a camera, binoculars or GPS equipment near government buildings. Even photos taken in the street can attract the authorities, who may confiscate your camera, and Canada adds airports, bridges, major roads and military personnel to the list to avoid.
