Chad eSIM — data for work trips to N'Djamena
A BellRoam Chad eSIM gives you mobile data in Chad without buying a SIM on arrival. Receive the QR code by email, install it before you fly and switch it on when you land in N'Djamena.
Network and coverage
| Network | Airtel |
| Strong coverage | N'Djamena, Moundou, Sarh and other main towns |

The network shown on each plan is the one your eSIM connects to.
Which plan should I choose?
- A short work trip to N'Djamena: maps, messaging, ride-hailing and social media fit in a small total-data plan.
- Two weeks of fieldwork: choose a mid-size plan if you navigate all day, upload photos or share a hotspot.
- Remote work or lots of video: pick the largest plan and use Wi-Fi for big downloads.
