Worked fine but took a little while to connect at first. Setup instructions in the app were clear and simple.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Zambia eSIM cost?
The Zambia 2GB/Day plan costs $11.52 for 2 GB/day over 1 days, paid once with no hidden fees.
How do I activate my Zambia 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 Zambia.
Will this eSIM work on my phone?
It works on any eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone — iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy models.
Can I keep my regular number?
