href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/buying-a-prepaid-sim-card-in-burundi-guide\/#lumitel\">click here<\/a> jump to the first operator.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burundi is a landlocked country in East Africa. Although the West part of the country is next to Lake Tanganyika, the country is still considered to be landlocked because it is not next to a sea or ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is important to know because, in general, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">landlocked African nations have slower (mobile) internet speeds, while also being more expensive compared to countries that have direct access to submarine cables.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Landlocked countries have to rely on neighboring countries for fiber-optic bandwidth. If the fiber infrastructure of the neighboring country, or countries, is terrible, then the internet speeds and quality of service in the landlocked country will be even worse. In the case of Burundi, they have to rely on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/msu5\">Tanzania<\/a>, which has direct access to several submarine cables (SEACOM, DARE, EASSy &amp; 2AFRICA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, Burundi Backbone Systems (BBS) signed a deal with Tanzania Telecommunications Corporation (TTCL) in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commsupdate.com\/articles\/2019\/10\/23\/bbs-inks-deal-with-tanzanias-ttcl-to-improve-burundis-broadband-connectivity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">late 2019<\/a> to &ldquo;build a national fiber-optic network in the country &ndash; aimed at providing broadband internet connectivity to the east African nation (Burundi). This deal should improve internet bandwidth and speed in Burundi in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>[&hellip;] TTCL will provide first-class broadband internet services in Burundi through our stations in Kabanga and Manyovu in the border region of Kigoma. As a result of the agreement, landlocked Burundi will now be connected across the world and that access to new internet services will &lsquo;ease and improve business&rsquo; between the neighbouring countries<\/p>\n<cite>Waziri Kindamba, Chief Executive at TTCL<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, I like to look at the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.speedtest.net\/global-index\" target=\"_blank\">Speedtest Global Index<\/a> to see how a country is doing with their mobile internet speeds. Sadly, not enough users in Burundi have done speed tests with the Speedtest app on their phones for a representative average. However, we can see that the average download speed for fixed broadband was <strong>8 Mbps in June 2020<\/strong>, placing Burundi <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.speedtest.net\/global-index\/burundi#fixed\" target=\"_blank\">164<\/a> of the 174 countries indexed. That is not a good start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, according to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cable.co.uk\/broadband\/speed\/worldwide-speed-league\/#highlights\" target=\"_blank\">a study done by Cable.co.uk<\/a>, the <strong>mean download speed in Burundi is 3.03 Mbps, <\/strong>which puts Burundi on spot 142 of the 208 countries studied. Cable.co.uk also has a metric to make download speeds a bit more understandable, because looking at just the numbers may not mean a lot to many. <u>With a mean download speed of 3.03 Mbps, it would take 3:45 hours to download a 5 GB movie in Burundi<\/u>. That is not good news either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing is, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">mobile internet rates are on the affordable end in Burundi<\/span> when looking at them from a regional perspective and a continental perspective. According to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/a4ai.org\/extra\/mobile_broadband_pricing_usd-2019Q2\" target=\"_blank\">Alliance 4 Affordable Internet (A4AI)<\/a>, <strong>1 GB of data cost, on average, 6.45 GB in Africa<\/strong>. <strong>The average price of 1 GB in Burundi is 3.17 USD<\/strong>, which is half the continental average. <strong>This makes Burundi the 6<sup>th<\/sup> cheapest African nation to buy 1 GB of data<\/strong>, behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/zl75\">Sudan<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/1f77\">Egypt<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/fiwu\">Rwanda<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/dci3\">Mozambique<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/keqk\">Nigeria<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When looking at the Eastern African average, 1 GB of mobile data costs 4.99 USD<\/strong>. Based on these numbers, you can say that <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">mobile data is relatively affordable in Burundi<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do note that A4AI considers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/budc\">Zimbabwe<\/a> to be part of Eastern Africa. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/budc\">Zimbabwe<\/a>, together with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/k2b0\">Equatorial Guinea<\/a>, are the most expensive countries to buy mobile data. If we exclude Zimbabwe, then the average cost of 1 GB goes down to 4.27 USD, making Burundi still below the average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, we have looked at averages. How expensive is mobile data for the local population? For the average Burundian? A4AI found that, when taking the Burundian average monthly income into account, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">a Burundian would spend 13.6% of their monthly income on 1 GB of data<\/span>, which is high for African standards (African average is 7.12%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even then, more Burundians are getting more mobile subscriptions <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/497119\/number-of-mobile-cellular-subscriptions-in-burundi\/\" target=\"_blank\">more than ever before<\/a>. The mobile subscription penetration rate was 58% in 2018, while it was <em>only <\/em>29% in 2014. It is, however, unclear how many of these subscribers use mobile data, as most users in Burundi use their phones for calling and texting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commsupdate.com\/articles\/2017\/01\/23\/arct-boss-calls-on-isps-to-sign-up-to-ixp\/\" target=\"_blank\">In 2017<\/a>, the fixed broadband penetration rate was 8.2%, but the mobile internet penetration rates are often significantly higher in Africa due to antennas being more accessible compared to the domestic broadband cable network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned in the <a

Follow the instructions on the back of the scratch cards to top-up your SIM card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dial <strong>*131# <\/strong>to check your Lumitel balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lumitel Internet Packages, Plans, Bundles &amp; Offers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Lumitel offers several types of data-only packages, which are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/buying-a-prepaid-sim-card-in-burundi-guide\/#lumitel-classiqueclassic-data\">Classique\/Classic Data<\/a> (data-only plans)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/buying-a-prepaid-sim-card-in-burundi-guide\/#lumitel-promotion-package\">Promotion Package<\/a> (discounted data-only plans)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/buying-a-prepaid-sim-card-in-burundi-guide\/#lumitel-unlimited-internet\">Unlimited Internet<\/a> (unlimited data-only plans with speed restrictions)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/buying-a-prepaid-sim-card-in-burundi-guide\/#lumitel-night-data-package\">Night data packages<\/a> (nighttime data-only plans)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/buying-a-prepaid-sim-card-in-burundi-guide\/#lumitel-social-internet-package\">Social internet package<\/a> (social plans for WhatsApp and Facebook)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/buying-a-prepaid-sim-card-in-burundi-guide\/#lumitel-youtube-package\">YouTube package<\/a> (unlimited data-only plans for YouTube)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on the links above to jump to the package you are interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lumitel Classique\/Classic Data<\/h5>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lumitel-Classic-Data.jpg\" alt=\"Lumitel Classic Data\" class=\"wp-image-1007299\" style=\"width:768px;height:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lumitel-Classic-Data.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lumitel-Classic-Data-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lumitel-Classic-Data-768x500.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lumitel-Classic-Data.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Lumitel Classic Data\" class=\"wp-image-1007299 lazyload\" style=\"width:768px;height:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lumitel-Classic-Data.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lumitel-Classic-Data-300x195.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lumitel-Classic-Data-768x500.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Lumitel-Classic-Data.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-15\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>The Classique\/Classic Data packs are standard data-only plans. <\/strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Those with a 4G\/LTE enabled SIM card will get more data for the same price compared to those with a 3G SIM card<\/span>.
