In this article, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Liberia. Let's do this. Original publication: 5th of August 2020. Last updated: 20th of January 2021.

Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Liberia? Liberian SIM cards are sold in the local operators' official stores (LoneStar Cell MTN and Orange Liberia) or through Point of Sales (POS).

Here is a list of what to expect to pay for a Liberian SIM card: LoneStar Cell MTN: 100 LRDOrange Liberia: 1 USD Can You Use Your Phone in Liberia? Liberia uses GSM technology for mobile communication services. This means you need a GSM-supported phone to use your device in Liberia. There is a 99% chance that your phone supports GSM anyway. Liberia used standard European frequencies for its networks, which are used throughout Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe, and Oceania (ITU Regions 1 & 3). Phones sold in ITU Regions 1 and 3 will have no connectivity issues when in Liberia. By Maximilian Dörrbecker (Chumwa) - Own work, using this file by Denelson83, CC BY-SA 2.5 In the Americas (North-, Central- & South America + the Caribbean - ITU Region 2), however, they use American frequencies. Those are different from European frequencies. Phones sold in ITU Region 2 may experience connectivity issues when in Liberia. If you have a low/medium-end device without Tri-Band or Quad-Band support, there is a possibility that you cannot use your phone at all in Liberia or only older networks. Suppose you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support. In that case, the likelihood of using your phone in Liberia without any or some hindrance is large. Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Liberia Liberia has two mobile network operators: LoneStar Cell MTNOrange Liberia The following frequencies are uses by the Liberian operators: 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz3G: 2100 MHz4G/LTE: 1800 MHz (Band 3) You can learn more about frequencies in the video below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=achqanxN9Xs To check whether your phone will work in Liberia, check out this page by Will My Phone Work. Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above). If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.

Liberia Internet Prices & Insights Mobile data in Africa can be considered to be relatively cheap compared to other regions around the world. In Africa's case, Western Africa has, on average, lower data rates than other regions in Africa. But how expensive is mobile data in Liberia? The average price for 1 GB of data in Liberia is 3.25 USD, which is below the Sub-Saharan average of 5.91 USD (6.91 USD including Saint Helena). The world average is 5.03 USD. Source While mobile data may seem relatively affordable in Liberia, network coverage and reception throughout the country may be disappointing to some. Currency in Liberia Liberia uses the Liberian Dollar with the symbol LRD and the US Dollar with the symbol USD. Liberia has been a dual-currency country for a long time. In 2017, the Liberian Lower House passed a law to make the Liberian Dollar the sole legal tender in the country. Unfortunately, Liberia has been plagued with high inflation (especially after 2017), so the US Dollar is still actively being used in Liberia, and it is also used for prices. The symbol USD will be used throughout this paper unless the operator lists a cost in Liberian Dollar, then LRD will be used. If your credit/debit card charges you foreign exchange fees, get yourself a Transferwise Borderless Account and Debit Card. Their fees are MUCH lower than banks, and credit card companies charge you (and Transferwise is transparent about their fees, unlike banks). I have saved literal THOUSANDS of Euros, my main currency, when using Transferwise abroad when traveling compared to my debit and credit cards. Open a Transferwise account FREE!

My Way Flex - Orange Liberia My Way Flex is a flexible combo plan that comes with data, minutes, and SMS. My Way Flex, formerly known as simply My Flex, used to have a rather complex system in terms of the flexibility options. While the plan has been updated a bit in terms of the offering, it is unknown whether the Flex rules have changed. Below is an explanation of the old rules. Take the 1 USD plan, for example, with 50 on-net minutes/5 off-net minutes or 500 MB. For each minute you call, 11.1 MB will be deducted from your data balance. If you use 11.1 MB, 1 minute will be deducted from your call allowance. The 2 USD My Flex plan has a 1 minute:13.3 MB ratio. The 29 USD plan has a 1 minute:14.28 MB ratio. The ratios for the 5 USD to 20 USD plans are unknown. International minutes and SMS do not use a ratio system. Moreover, some of the My Way plans do not use the flexible system, meaning that you can use your full call allowance and data allowance independently.

However, it is important to know how it works. This in-depth guide explains it all.

There are many other advantages and disadvantages of getting international SIM cards, which you can learn about here. Using a Mobile Hotspot (Pocket WIFI) Mobile hotspots, or pocket WIFI, are small devices that connect to the local operators of the country you are visiting. Mobile hotspots are ideal for families or those traveling in a large group, as they allow you to connect multiple devices to one hotspot without the need of each traveler having to buy a SIM card. You can either buy a mobile hotspot or rent one. Using Free WIFI Networks Using free WIFI connections is the cheapest way to stay connected because they are free.
