Plans

1GB/7 days at $4.50 to 20GB/30 days at $33.50

Ghana rewards a phone that works: ride apps in Accra, mobile money, maps for the road to Kumasi and Cape Coast, and messages that confirm a hotel or a guide. A travel eSIM gives you data as soon as you land, with no queue at a shop and no passport copy. Install it at home on Wi-Fi and keep your own SIM for calls.

Why an eSIM for Ghana?

Buying a local SIM costs time on your first day and means swapping the SIM that receives your banking codes. An eSIM is installed before you fly, and your normal SIM stays in the phone.

Which network carries the signal?

Our Ghana plans use Vodafone. Coverage is best in Accra and the larger towns, and it can be weaker on long road stretches and in rural areas, so download offline maps before a long drive.

How much data does a trip to Ghana use?

A week of maps, ride apps, messaging and some photos fits in 3GB. Add daily photo uploads, video calls or a hotspot for a laptop, and 5GB or more is safer. For a month of travel or remote work, 10GB gives you room.

Choosing a plan size

1GB for 7 days costs $4.50. 3GB for 15 days costs $8.00 and 3GB for 30 days costs $8.50, only $0.50 more. 5GB for 30 days is $13.50, 10GB for 30 days is $21.00 and 20GB for 30 days is $33.50.

No unlimited plans

We do not sell unlimited plans for Ghana. Every plan has a fixed amount of data, and 20GB for 30 days at $33.50 is the largest we list.

Quick answers

Which Ghana eSIM should I buy for a week in Accra?

3GB for 15 days at $8.00 covers a week with room to spare. If you only need maps and messages, 1GB for 7 days at $4.50 may be enough.

Does the Ghana eSIM include calls?

No. Our plans are data only. Keep your home number on your own SIM for calls and check your carrier's rates.

Which network does it use?

Vodafone. Coverage is strongest in the cities and can be weaker in rural areas.

When does the plan start?

When the eSIM first connects to a network in Ghana, not when you buy or install it.
