About Ghana eSIM

Using eSIM in Ghana is a very practical solution, especially for tourists. The country's mobile network infrastructure is quite strong in cities. While the 4G LTE coverage rate is over 80%, 5G service is limited to major cities like Accra, Kumasi, and Cape Coast. The main operators include MTN Ghana, Vodafone Ghana, and Telecel. MTN Ghana offers the widest coverage and high speeds, while Vodafone Ghana provides reliable 4G/5G service in cities. Internet speeds range from 20-50 Mbps in cities and may drop to 10-20 Mbps in rural areas. For tourists, eSIM is 50% cheaper than physical SIM cards and allows for instant activation without requiring a passport. This eliminates the hassle of waiting in line at the airport. By comparing eSIM packages on Tripuck, you can determine the most suitable option for your trip.

How to Buy Ghana eSIM?

The first step to buying an eSIM in Ghana is to choose the package that best suits you from Tripuck or other platforms. Download the app of a provider like Ubigi or Holafly, and after purchasing your plan, scan the QR code with your phone's camera. For iPhone users, follow 'Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM'; Android users should follow 'Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Network > Add eSIM'. Activation occurs automatically when you enable data roaming upon arrival in Ghana and takes 5-10 minutes. Another point to note is to perform the eSIM installation over WiFi. We recommend conducting an activation test before your trip to avoid issues upon arrival.

Ghana eSIM Pricing

eSIM prices in Ghana are quite reasonable. 1GB packages range from 3-5 USD, 3GB packages from 8-12 USD, 5GB packages from 12-18 USD, and 10GB packages from 20-30 USD. Unlimited data options are also available, with packages offering 1GB of high speed per day followed by 128kbps speeds, priced between 25-40 USD. Short-term packages (1-7 days) typically range from 5-15 USD, while long-term packages (15-30 days) are around 20-50 USD. Ubigi and eSIM4Travel offer affordable options, while Holafly is ideal for those needing unlimited data. By comparing prices from different providers on Tripuck, you can select the package that best meets your needs.

Recommendations

We recommend Ubigi's 10GB package, valid for 30 days, due to its city and rural coverage. Purchase your eSIM package before your trip; buying at the airport is more expensive and slower. Check if your device is eSIM compatible; models like iPhone XS+, Samsung Galaxy S20+ are supported. As a backup internet plan, you can use cafe WiFi or hotel WiFi. For long-term stays (30+ days), consider Holafly's unlimited data package and top-up options. Packages connecting to the MTN network should be preferred as they offer wider coverage and speed.
