About South Sudan eSIM

The use of eSIM in South Sudan offers a highly attractive option for tourists, especially with the 4G coverage rate of around 30-40% in the capital Juba and major cities. The 5G technology is not yet widespread in the country and is in the testing phase in certain urban areas. The main local operators include Zain South Sudan, MTN South Sudan, and Vivacell. Zain stands out with its wide rural coverage, while MTN offers strong 4G service particularly in city centers like Juba. Vivacell has a more limited coverage area. The use of eSIM eliminates challenges such as long queues and passport registration requirements encountered during physical SIM card purchases. Internet speed varies between 5-15 Mbps in city centers, while in rural areas, speed generally ranges between 1-5 Mbps. eSIMs help stabilize the internet connection with VPN support.
