Kenya eSIM — FAQ
How does the Kenya eSIM work?
After purchase, you receive a QR code by email. Open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM and scan it. Your Kenya data plan activates the moment you arrive — your phone connects to local networks automatically, no physical SIM needed.
Is my phone compatible with the Kenya eSIM?
Most modern smartphones support eSIM: iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, plus many Huawei, Xiaomi and Oppo flagship models. Check your settings for "Add eSIM" or "Mobile plans" to confirm.
Will I be charged roaming fees?
No. The Kenya eSIM connects directly to local networks, so you pay the same rate as a local. Keep your physical SIM inserted and disable roaming on it — your home operator stays out of the loop.
Can I keep my home phone number active?
Yes. Modern phones support dual-SIM: your physical SIM stays active for calls/SMS on your home number, while the Kenya eSIM handles mobile data. Receive WhatsApp, iMessage and calls on your home number while paying local data prices.
How long is the Kenya eSIM valid?
Validity depends on the plan — typically 7 days for short trips, 15-30 days for longer stays. The clock starts the first time you activate the eSIM in Kenya.
What happens when my data runs out?
Buy another Kenya eSIM plan or switch to a different country eSIM if your trip continues — all from your AirtoSim account.
