Which network does the eSIM join in South Sudan?

On 2G/3G, with 4G in Juba, it runs over local carriers like Zain South Sudan and MTN South Sudan.

Can I keep my Italian number?

Yes. The eSIM adds a data plan to your phone, and calls and SMS carry on with your Italian SIM and number.

How is the eSIM activated?

The QR code lands in your email after you pay. Scan it in the settings of your phone, preferably before departure, and you will have a connection when you arrive.

Is roaming sufficient, or must I have an eSIM?

In non-EU countries, roaming on Italian plans is expensive and not always available. The eSIM data connection costs a fixed amount, so nothing surprises you.

How much does an eSIM for South Sudan cost?

eSIM plans for South Sudan start from €5.29. You pay once for the amount of data you choose — no subscription, no monthly fees and no hidden roaming charges. Plans with more data or longer validity cost more.

Can I top up or renew the plan for South Sudan?

Yes. When the data runs out or the validity expires, just buy a new plan — the eSIM profile already installed is kept and does not need to be installed again. You stay connected without interruption.

Can I share the connection (hotspot) in South Sudan?

Yes. You can share the connection in South Sudan through a personal hotspot with a computer, tablet or other devices. Shared data is deducted from your plan, so allow a few extra gigabytes if you expect to use the hotspot often.

How many GB do I need for South Sudan?

For a normal trip, 1–3 GB a week is enough for maps, messages and occasional browsing. With social media and photo sharing allow about 5 GB; for streaming, video calls or a hotspot count on 10 GB or more. If the volume is not enough, you can buy an additional plan at any time.

Is the eSIM compatible with my phone?

The eSIM works with all compatible devices — including iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and Google Pixel 3 and later. The phone must also be free of operator locks (not blocked). You can check compatibility in the settings under "Mobile data", or by dialling *#06# to see whether an EID code is shown.

Why is an eSIM worthwhile in South Sudan?

Roaming is very costly on Italian plans in South Sudan, when it is offered. An eSIM brings data for a set price and spares you the search for a local operator on arrival. The Italian SIM stays on for calls; the eSIM covers data alone, useful for maps, messages and email while you are there.
