The Botswana eSIM provides data coverage in Botswana (BW). It is designed for use within Botswana and does not include coverage for other countries.
The validity of the Botswana eSIM counts down once the plan is activated, not from the moment of purchase. Validity periods available are 1, 7, 15, and 30 days.
The Botswana eSIM is delivered by email as a QR code, which you scan to install on your phone. Installation takes a few minutes, so you can set it up in advance and connect as soon as you arrive in Botswana.
The Botswana eSIM works on eSIM-compatible phones, which include recent iPhone models from the iPhone XS onward and many modern Android devices such as Google Pixel and recent Samsung Galaxy models. Check that your device supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked before purchase.
The Botswana eSIM provides a data connection that you can typically use for hotspot and tethering, depending on your device settings. Data used for tethering draws from the same allowance on your chosen plan, from 1 GB up to unlimited data.
When the data on your Botswana eSIM runs out or the validity ends, you can buy another Botswana eSIM plan to continue with data. Each plan is a prepaid, one-off purchase with no subscription.
Yes, your existing phone number stays active for calls and texts with the Botswana eSIM, because it adds a separate data line and does not replace your primary SIM. The Botswana eSIM itself is a data plan.
The Botswana eSIM is delivered digitally by email as a QR code after purchase. There is no physical SIM to ship or collect, and it is a prepaid, one-off purchase with no contract.

I used Viasimo to travel home to California this year. The instructions were super easy to follow and I had no problems with the service for the whole 20 days that I used it. It was nice not to worry about

Landed in Tokyo, switched off flight mode and I was online before I reached passport control. No SIM-card queues, no surprise bill afterwards.
