Benin eSIM Plans: 1GB–5GB, 7–30 Days
Benin's mobile infrastructure has improved dramatically in recent years, yet travelers still face frustrating connectivity gaps outside major cities like Cotonou and Porto-Novo. Whether you're documenting the stilted villages of Ganvié, navigating the wildlife corridors of Pendjari National Park, or exploring the Voodoo heartland of Ouidah, reliable data keeps you connected. Our Benin eSIM plans offer 1GB to 5GB of data across durations from 7 to 30 days, giving you flexibility whether you're on a quick business trip or an extended cultural journey.
Your plan timer starts only at first connection in Benin, not when you purchase, so you can buy with Bitcoin or crypto weeks ahead without wasting a single day. Check if your device supports eSIM by dialing *#06# and looking for an EID number before you travel.
- Four plans available: 1GB to 5GB data options
- Flexible duration: 7 to 30 days coverage
- Timer starts on arrival: First connection activates your plan
- Hotspot supported: Share data with travel companions
- Instant delivery: Pay with crypto, connect immediately

You can load up to 30 plans on a single eSIM profile, eliminating the hassle of managing multiple QR codes or switching between eSIM profiles.
