About these prices
The crossed-out price is our regular price. The green price is what you pay.
Code TRY10 is for your first eSIM order, one use per customer. We add it at checkout, so there’s nothing to copy.
Codes don’t apply to 100 MB plans or top-ups.
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.

Econet leads
Zimbabwe has three mobile operators, Econet, NetOne and Telecel, and the regulator's sector performance reports show Econet with by far the most subscribers, followed by NetOne. Telecel is a much smaller player.
Power cuts
Blackouts hit signal
Frequent and sometimes long power blackouts are part of life in Zimbabwe, and Canada's travel advice notes they can affect telecoms networks, with some cuts coming without notice. UK advice calls the mobile network unreliable, so carry a power bank and save offline maps.
Safety
Think before posting
Insulting the President is illegal in Zimbabwe, and UK travel advice asks you to weigh the risks of anything you post on social media. Photographing police, soldiers, protests, airports or government offices without permission is also against the law.
UK travel advice lists 112, or 114 from NetOne numbers. Canada's advice gives 999 instead, so keep that as a backup.
