Bought the wrong plan? An unused, never-activated eSIM can be refunded in full within 30 days of purchase. See our refund policy for the full terms.
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.
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.
Add your other stops and we check whether one regional eSIM costs less.
Sierra Leone's regulator, NatCA, lists five mobile operators: Africell, Orange, Qcell, Sierratel and SMART. Even so, UK travel advice points out that no network covers the whole country, and some areas have no mobile reception at all.
Landline connections are mainly disused, and calls between Sierra Leonean mobiles and local landlines aren't possible. If a hotel, guesthouse or office gives you a landline number to call, ask for a mobile number instead.
Mains power is unreliable, long outages are common and power surges are frequent in the rainy season. Hotels and rented villas have generators, so charge your phone and power bank whenever you can, and consider a surge protector for your devices.
112 is the national emergency number in NatCA's short code list, and Canada's advice gives it for police. UK advice lists 117 instead, so only 112 is shown here.
