In Tanzania, a local SIM card can be useful, especially if you’re planning a long stay. However, an eSIM from Vlex eSIM lets you easily connect to local networks without needing a physical SIM card.
Mobile internet speed in Tanzania varies, but in major cities such as Dar es Salaam you can generally expect speeds up to 4G. Using an eSIM can provide a stable connection for both work and leisure.
Most modern smartphones, such as iPhone XS and newer, as well as the latest Android models, support eSIM. Make sure your phone is unlocked for use in Tanzania.
Mobile network coverage in Tanzania is quite good in cities and popular tourist areas, but it can be limited in remote regions. An eSIM from Vlex eSIM helps you stay connected even when you travel through less populated areas.
Using an eSIM in Tanzania is usually more cost-effective than roaming, as you can avoid high roaming charges. With an eSIM from Vlex eSIM you get access to local rates and can save on mobile data services.
