How much travel data do I need with my Ghana eSIM?
When it comes to data needs, it will vary depending on your travel plans and type of usage. When you plan to explore the country and stay outdoors, always having Wi-Fi access is an issue. But with a Ghana eSIM, you don’t have to worry at all.
Not sure how much data you’ll need? You can always start with a basic 1 GB data package and add more if it’s needed during your travels in Ghana.

Will I pay roaming charges with a prepaid eSIM for Ghana?
You won’t pay a penny in roaming charges!
Install your Ghana eSIM while you have a strong internet connection (either at home, or while already travelling), and then activate your prepaid Ghana data package when you’re ready to use it.
To avoid roaming charges on your primary SIM, please make sure you’ve turned off Data Roaming on your primary SIM (and confirmed you aren’t enrolled in a carrier travel plan) to prevent your home carrier from adding roaming charges to your next bill.
