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.
Unlimited plans have no total data cap for the plan period, but each day includes a high-speed allowance. Once you use that day's allowance, you carry on at a reduced speed. Reduced-speed data has a daily limit too, and if you reach it, data pauses until the allowance resets 24 hours after you activate the eSIM. Pick this for heavier or less predictable use. A fair-use policy applies.
Pick a plan and pay. Your eSIM QR code arrives by email instantly.

Good to know in Guinea-Bissau
Power cuts
A few hours of power
Canada's travel advice describes telecommunications in Guinea-Bissau as expensive and unreliable, and says electricity is often available for only a few hours a day. Charge everything whenever the power is on and pack a large power bank.
Paying
Bring cash
Guinea-Bissau runs on cash: the UK's travel advice notes that credit cards are rarely used and there are not many ATMs. Carry enough CFA francs before you leave Bissau, and change money only at an official bureau de change.
Outdoors
Getting to the Bijagós
Reaching the Bijagós archipelago means a chartered flight or a boat, and Canada advises avoiding pirogues as unsafe. The islands have no medical clinics, so share your plans before you go and ask your lodge or guide how they reach help in an emergency.
Police number confirmed by the UK's and Canada's advice. For fire and ambulance, the UK lists 1313, while Canada gives 118 (fire) and 119 (medical).
