## Networks

- Gambia: Comium (4G)

## Which Gambia eSIM plan do I need?

Match your plan to how long you stay and how much you use your phone, and these picks cover the common trips.

- **A city break around Banjul or Serrekunda:** for three days of maps, messages and social media, 1 GB a day for 3 days covers you well.
- **Two weeks touring Gambia:** with social media, music and some video, 10 GB for 30 days leaves plenty of room.
- **A month-long stay:** 20 GB for 30 days suits steady everyday use for the whole time you're away.
- **A work trip with heavy streaming or hotspot use:** 2 GB a day for 30 days keeps you going day after day.

Most plans can be [topped up](/help/top-up-esim), so you can add more data mid-trip instead of starting over.

## Will my eSIM have signal in Gambia?

Your eSIM joins Comium in Gambia on 4G, which is plenty for maps, messages and email. Touch down at Banjul International (BJL) and your phone finds Comium by itself, so there's nothing to choose. Keep mobile data switched on for your eSIM and WhatsApp messages go out as usual.

Your data reaches the internet through the United Kingdom, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Read more on [IP addresses abroad](/help/ip-address-another-country). Daily plans slow to 512 Kbps once the day's allowance runs out.

## Using your phone in Gambia: data tips

- **Arriving:** Land at Banjul International (BJL), switch your eSIM on and turn on data roaming for the eSIM line. Install it at home on Wi-Fi first. The [roaming guide](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) shows you how.
- **Coverage:** Your eSIM runs on Comium's 4G network in Banjul, Serrekunda, Kololi, Kotu and Bakau.
- **Staying in touch:** WhatsApp is the messaging app to have ready. Your home number stays on for calls and texts, and the [WhatsApp guide](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number) shows you how to keep both.
- **Data:** Light use, such as maps and messages, needs about 0.25 GB a day. Standard use, with social media and some video, needs about 0.7 GB a day. Heavy use, with streaming and hotspot, is about 1.8 GB a day. Check the plans above and pick the size that fits.
- **Top-ups:** Most plans can be topped up, so you can add more data mid-trip if you run low.

## Questions

### How much is an eSIM for Gambia?

Gambia eSIMs start at £11.99 for 500 MB a day over 1 day. A 5 GB plan for 30 days costs £94.99. Prices include any taxes and show in pounds, euros or dollars.

### Which networks does the Gambia eSIM use?

Your eSIM connects to Comium in Gambia. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically.

### When does my Gambia eSIM start?

Most plans start the moment your eSIM first connects to a network in Gambia, so you can buy and install it at home before you fly. Install it within 180 days of buying.

### Can I top up my Gambia eSIM?

Yes. Most Gambia plans can be topped up from your eSIM page in two taps, with no new QR code. The plan table on this page shows which ones.

### Why does my IP address show another country?

Gambia plans route your data through United Kingdom, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Websites and apps may show that country's content; your speed and coverage in Gambia are not affected.

### Does it come with a phone number?

Every eSIMology plan is data only. Keep your own SIM switched on for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime or any calling app over your eSIM's data.

### What if my plans change?

Cancel an eSIM you haven't installed within 30 days for a full refund to your card, in two taps from your eSIM page.

### Is there 5G in Gambia?

No, there isn't. Comium is 4G only, so expect 4G in Banjul, Serrekunda and at Banjul International (BJL). There's no 5G to wait for, so 4G is what you'll use for messages and maps.

### Can I use WhatsApp in Gambia with an eSIM?

Yes, WhatsApp is the messaging app to use in Gambia, so you can keep chatting with hosts in Kololi, Kotu or Bakau as you go. Messages run on your eSIM data, so keep an eye on your daily allowance if you send lots of photos.

### Can I get an eSIM for a short stay in Banjul?

Yes. For a short stay in Banjul, pick a daily allowance, with day options from one day up to thirty. Pick the day count that matches your stay, whether that's a weekend in Kololi or a longer trip.

### Does hotspot use a lot of data in Gambia?

Yes, hotspot counts as heavy use, so sharing your connection with a laptop in Kotu or Bakau will use data much faster than messages. If you need it, choose a larger daily allowance before you go.

### What speed do I get when my daily data runs out in Gambia?

Once your daily allowance is used up, your eSIM drops to 512 Kbps. That's slow for video, but enough for WhatsApp messages and simple map checks. Keep video for when you have Wi-Fi.
