Arriving at Blaise Diagne, 43km from Dakar
Install the eSIM before departure over wifi at home. Most international flights land at Blaise Diagne International Airport near Diass, about 43km east of Dakar and West Africa's leading aviation hub. Only turn on data roaming once you've arrived, so you skip hunting for a SIM shop for registration.
Coverage in and around Dakar
Around Dakar the network is most developed, with the widest coverage via Orange/Sonatel and even 5G in and around the capital. Outside Dakar, a substantial part of the network still runs on 3G, so expect solid basic coverage for navigation, messaging and email rather than top speeds everywhere.
Your own number and calling home
Because the eSIM only provides data, your Belgian or Dutch SIM card stays active for calls, texts and verification codes, so banking and logging in keep working as normal. To stay in touch with family back home, use the eSIM data for WhatsApp or Messenger calls, without foreign call charges.
Bridging a longer stay
For a family visit of several weeks, one plan may not be enough. Check the validity period on the plan page before booking, and if needed buy a second plan once the first is nearly used up — you can even do this while you're already in Senegal, as long as you have wifi for a moment.
Frequently asked questions
Which networks does the eSIM use in Senegal?+
The eSIM connects to the major local networks (Orange/Sonatel, Yas and Expresso) for internet in Dakar and other cities.
Is the network the same speed everywhere in Senegal?+
Orange/Sonatel has the widest coverage, including rural areas, and 5G is available around Dakar. Outside the capital, a large part of the network still runs on 3G, so expect solid 3G/4G coverage rather than 5G speeds everywhere.
Is buying a local SIM in Senegal difficult for visitors?+
Senegal enforces mandatory SIM registration strictly: telecom regulator ARTP has had unregistered numbers suspended, and foreign visitors must present a valid passport to activate a local SIM. With an eSIM you arrange that in advance online.
Does my Belgian or Dutch number stay reachable for WhatsApp and banking codes in Senegal?+
Yes. The Ariya eSIM only handles your mobile data in Senegal; your own SIM card stays active for calls, texts and app verification codes such as online banking. Your device then uses both cards at the same time (dual-SIM).
Does my phone support eSIM?+
Most recent smartphones (iPhone XS and newer, recent Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel) support eSIM. Check your settings for an 'Add eSIM' option.
When should I activate my Senegal eSIM?+
Install the eSIM before departure over wifi, but only enable data roaming once you arrive in Senegal, so your plan starts at the right time.
How do I receive my eSIM?+
Right after payment you receive the QR code by email and in your Ariya Mobile account. Remember to check your spam folder.
Can I top up my plan?+
Yes, simply buy a new Senegal eSIM plan when your data or validity runs out.
