Congo eSIM — Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire
A BellRoam Republic of the Congo eSIM gives you mobile data across the Republic of the Congo 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 Brazzaville or Pointe-Noire.
Network and coverage
| Network | Airtel |
| Strong coverage | Brazzaville, Pointe-Noire, Dolisie and the main highway |
| Weaker spots | The northern forests, Odzala-Kokoua National Park and rural areas |
The network shown on each plan is the one your eSIM connects to.
Which plan should I choose?
- A business trip: maps, messaging, ride-hailing and social media fit in a small total-data plan.
- Two weeks including Odzala: 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.
eSIM, local SIM or roaming?
| BellRoam eSIM | Airport SIM | Roaming from home | |

| Keep your own number | Yes, on your main SIM | You swap SIM cards | Yes |

Tips for the Republic of the Congo
- Check your government's official travel advice before you go and keep it updated during the trip.
- Kinshasa is across the river from Brazzaville but in another country; you need a separate plan there.
Visiting more than the Republic of the Congo?
A Congo plan works in the Republic of the Congo only. Visiting neighbours too? Buy a plan for each country: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon.
