Downloadable Ghana SIM card with prepaid data
An eSIM is an embedded SIM card, and you probably already have an eSIM-compatible device. When you install an eSIM for a country or region, it lets your device connect to local networks in that area. This means your device will have data without needing Wi-Fi or paying roaming charges.
Located in Western Africa, Ghana is a small yet extremely popular country. Known for its dense forests, animal diversity and picturesque sandy beaches, Ghana is full of experiences for visitors to enjoy.
While exploring the country, you will want to stay online to use various apps and stay connected with your family and friends. A Ghana eSIM is the perfect way to do just that. A digital SIM card for Ghana will give you a steady internet connection without relying on Wi-Fi availability.
When it comes to data needs, it will vary depending on your travel plans and type of usage. When you plan to explore the country and stay outdoors, always having Wi-Fi access is an issue. But with a Ghana eSIM, you don’t have to worry at all.
Not sure how much data you’ll need? You can always start with a basic 1 GB data package and add more if it’s needed during your travels in Ghana.
We also have a travel data calculator to help you estimate how much data you’ll need for your trip.
You won’t pay a penny in roaming charges!
Install your Ghana eSIM while you have a strong internet connection (either at home, or while already travelling), and then activate your prepaid Ghana data package when you’re ready to use it.
To avoid roaming charges on your primary SIM, please make sure you’ve turned off Data Roaming on your primary SIM (and confirmed you aren’t enrolled in a carrier travel plan) to prevent your home carrier from adding roaming charges to your next bill.
