Questions about the Zambia eSIM
Which networks does the Zambia eSIM use?
You can tick Airtel/Zain/Celtel Zambia, Zamtel/Cell Z/MTS and MTN/Telecel Zambia. The cheapest is ticked by default; with more than one ticked, your phone uses the strongest of them. Each further network adds $1.00.
How much does the Zambia eSIM cost?
10 GB for 14 days costs $63.02 — one payment, hotspot included. In the builder you choose 1–100 GB and 1–90 days, and the price updates as you go.
Can I add the next country to the same eSIM?
Yes. Up to 8 countries fit on one eSIM, in travel order — for example Malawi, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. The data is one pool for every country on the route, and at the border the eSIM switches by itself, with no new QR code.
When do the days start?
At your first connection anywhere on your route — not at purchase and not at installation. The trip length you chose (1–90 days) runs from then.
Do I get a phone number?
No — the eSIM is mobile data only. Keep your home SIM for calls and SMS and use the variotrip eSIM for data. Hotspot is included.
Can I add data or days later?
Yes. While data and days are left, add gigabytes, days or another country to the same eSIM from My eSIM — nothing new to install.
