A BellRoam Côte d'Ivoire eSIM gives you mobile data across Côte d'Ivoire 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 Abidjan.
Network and coverage
| Network | Orange |
| Strong coverage | Abidjan, Grand-Bassam, Assinie, Yamoussoukro, San-Pédro and the main highways |
| Weaker spots | The far north, Taï National Park and rural roads in the west |
The network shown on each plan is the one your eSIM connects to.
Which plan should I choose?
- A business trip to Abidjan: maps, messaging, ride-hailing and social media fit in a small total-data plan.
- Two weeks including the coast: 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.
