Good coverage in the city, a bit patchy in remote areas. Setup instructions in the app were clear and simple.

How do I activate my Botswana eSIM?
Scan the QR code in your phone settings (Cellular/Mobile → Add eSIM) or tap Install in the GotoeSIM app. Install on Wi-Fi before your trip; it activates when you arrive in Botswana.
