## FAQ

### How much does an eSIM for Kenya cost?

Kenya eSIM plans from SimKit range from US$0.90 to US$54.15 depending on how much data and how many days you need. The entry plan is 100 MB for 7 days at US$0.90.

### Which Kenya eSIM plan is the best value?

Per gigabyte, the best value is the 20 GB plan for 30 days at US$54.15, which works out at about US$2.71 per GB. A plan you only half use is not a bargain, though, so size it to your trip. Every plan here supports top-ups, so it is safe to start smaller and add data if you run low.

### Which networks do Kenya eSIMs use?

SimKit Kenya eSIMs connect to Safaricom. You get the same coverage as a local SIM without swapping anything physical.

### Can I use one eSIM for Kenya and other countries on the same trip?

Yes. The Africa (21 countries) eSIM covers Kenya and 20 more destinations on a single plan, switching to a partner network at each border with nothing to reinstall. For Kenya alone, the single-country plans on this page are cheaper per GB.

### Is the Kenya eSIM 5G?

SimKit Kenya eSIMs run on 4G/LTE for reliable coverage across the country. Actual speed depends on your device and local network conditions.

### How do I install and activate an eSIM for Kenya?

After you buy, open your order on the phone you'll travel with and tap the install button, or scan the QR code from another screen. The eSIM is ready in under two minutes. Activate it when you arrive in Kenya.

### When should I buy an eSIM for Kenya?

Any time before you travel. The plan's validity only starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Kenya, so you can buy as soon as you book, install on Wi-Fi at home, and it activates when you land.

### Can I top up my Kenya eSIM if I run out of data?

Yes. If you run low, you can add more data to the same eSIM in a couple of taps from your account, right in the browser, without buying a new one or changing your number.

### Will the eSIM work in my phone?

Most phones from 2018 onward support eSIM (iPhone XS and later, recent Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy models) and must be carrier-unlocked. If your phone shows an "Add eSIM" option in settings, you're good.

## How it works

1. Buy online; the eSIM is delivered instantly to your account.
2. Install it with one tap (or scan the QR code) on Wi-Fi before you fly.
3. It activates when it first connects to a network in Kenya, not when you pay.
4. Top up from your account if you run low, where the plan supports it.
