Quick plan summary

• Fixed data: 1GB/7 days, 2GB/15 days or 3GB, 5GB, 10GB or 20GB/30 days. These are total allowances, not daily amounts.
• Daily Unlimited: Lite, Essential and Plus for 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 days. No longer Unlimited duration or Premium option is selectable; Plus is not Premium.
• Networks: MTN up to 4G and Airtel up to 3G in the provider list. The list does not specify 5G.
• Data only: no Rwandan number, ordinary calls or SMS.

Compare Rwanda packages

Lite/1 day is the lowest-priced choice, but it is not a seven-day package. Fixed data suits lighter use between Wi-Fi connections. Essential is the balanced daily option; Plus provides more high-speed data each day for heavier uploads or supported hotspot use. Compare total trip cost carefully: fixed 5GB costs less than either seven-day daily option when that total allowance is sufficient. For stays longer than 10 days, compare fixed packages with enough total data and validity. Larger allowances do not extend forest or mountain coverage.

Prices may change. Always check the product page for the latest prices before purchasing.

How daily Unlimited works

• Lite: 1GB/day high-speed, then up to 512 kbps.
• Essential: 1GB/day high-speed, then up to 1.25 Mbps.
• Plus: 2GB/day high-speed, then up to 2 Mbps.

Standard Rwanda Unlimited options are Lite. Daily high-speed allowances refresh each day; reduced speeds apply for the rest of the day after that day's allowance is used. Unlimited does not mean unrestricted high-speed data. Fixed plans end when their total allowance or validity runs out, whichever comes first, without reduced-speed continuation. Actual speeds depend on connectivity.

Rwanda coverage and networks

MTN is listed up to 4G. Both Airtel provider entries are listed up to 3G; they do not represent two additional distinct brands. The provider list does not specify 5G. Confirm the partners for your exact option if needed. Connection and speeds depend on your purchased plan, device, supported partner and local conditions.

Gorilla trekking, forest visits and lake stays

Save trekking permits, lodge details, maps and guide contacts offline before leaving reliable coverage. Reception inside Volcanoes National Park, Nyungwe Forest, Akagera National Park and on remote trails is not guaranteed. Lake Kivu shore locations can have different reception from boat routes. Check with support before purchase if connectivity at a particular lodge or location is essential. Arrange appropriate backup communications for remote excursions. Satellite and maritime networks are not included.

Hotspot and keeping your existing number

Hotspot depends on your selected plan, device and network; confirm exact-option terms if sharing is essential. Shared usage counts toward the same total or daily high-speed allowance and speed limits. Large uploads, backups and streaming can use data quickly.

This eSIM has no Rwandan number, ordinary calls or SMS. Internet-based messaging and calling depend on app availability and connectivity. If retaining your home SIM, check its roaming charges, turn off its data roaming and avoid automatic data switching.

Compatibility, installation and activation

1. Check that your exact device model and regional version support eSIM and that the device is carrier-unlocked.
2. Install the emailed QR code over stable Wi-Fi through your cellular or SIM settings, following your order's instructions. Keep the QR private.
3. When ready in supported Rwanda coverage, enable AloOui, select it for mobile data and turn on its data roaming as instructed.

Validity starts when the eSIM connects to a supported network in Rwanda, not QR delivery or installation alone. If already within supported coverage, enabling the line and connecting can start the plan. Follow your purchased option's activation deadline, expiry and top-up instructions.

APN, connection help and 24/7 human support

1. Check AloOui is enabled, selected for mobile data and has data roaming on as instructed.
2. If an APN is required, enter data.esim with username and password blank, then save/select it. Some devices configure this automatically; follow your order if its settings differ.
3. After installation finishes, toggle airplane mode briefly or restart.
4. Start with automatic network selection. If needed, choose a supported partner confirmed in your order or by support and move to a stronger-signal area when safe.
5. Check remaining data and validity. Keep the eSIM installed while troubleshooting.

Ask support before deleting the profile, changing devices or rescanning the QR code; do not assume transfer, reinstallation or QR reuse is supported.

AloOui provides 24/7 human customer support through the Help Center. Share your order number, exact device model, location and error privately.

Planning a wider trip?

AloOui's Africa and Africa Long Trip products do not include Rwanda in their coverage lists. Do not substitute either based on the regional name alone. Use Shop with AI to find options for your itinerary and check every destination in the selected product's coverage list before purchasing.
