A Nigeria eSIM is a virtual SIM card that connects you instantly to Nigerian mobile networks (MTN Nigeria, Airtel Nigeria, Globacom, 9mobile) without a physical card. Plans start at $4 for 1 GB, up to $47 for unlimited.
Do you really need an eSIM? Nigeria is not in the EU, so no free roaming. For extended stays or heavy users, an eSIM is often more economical than international roaming.

Nigeria is not in the European Union, so free roaming does not automatically apply. International roaming to Nigeria is generally very expensive (several euros per MB). A local eSIM is almost always more economical.
Nigeria has 4G coverage in major cities, but variable in rural areas thanks to four major carriers:
| Carrier | Coverage | 5G | Used by |
|---|---|---|---|
| MTN Nigeria | Leader (major cities) | Yes | Airalo, GoMoWorld |
| Airtel Nigeria | Good (major cities) | Yes | Saily |
| Globacom | Fair (major cities) | Yes | Ubigi |
| 9mobile | Limited (major cities) | No | - |
Compatibility: iPhone XS+, Samsung S20+, Pixel 3+, Xiaomi 12+, OnePlus 8+
