How it works

Online across Africa in three steps

1

Pick your data size

Choose a plan that matches the length of your Africa trip — fixed bundles for predictable use, unlimited daily passes if you stream or rideshare.

2

Install the QR before you fly

We email a QR code instantly. Install it on home Wi-Fi any time before you travel — the validity timer only starts on first network connection in the region.

3

Land and switch on data

Turn on data roaming for the ElloSim line when you arrive. You'll connect to a real local network as you cross borders inside Africa — no swapping SIMs.
