Your Ghana eSIM in two questions
Which Ghana eSIM plan do I need?
Match the plan to how long you stay and how much you'll use your phone. Here are a few common trips:
- A city break in Accra: Three days of maps, WhatsApp and Bolt or Uber rides is light use, so 1 GB for 7 days is the plan to pick.
- A fortnight touring Kumasi, Cape Coast and Tamale: For 14 days of standard use, go for 10 GB for 30 days.
- A month in Accra: For 30 days of standard use, 20 GB for 30 days is the plan to pick.
- A trip that also takes in other countries: For a week of standard use, 5 GB for 30 days suits Ghana. For a longer route, the Africa (21 countries) bundle also covers Ghana.
Most plans can be topped up, and the longest plan lasts 30 days.

Will my eSIM have signal in Ghana?
Your eSIM joins Vodafone in Ghana and connects over 5G, so you can message on WhatsApp or book an Uber or Bolt ride. Your phone picks Vodafone by itself, so there's nothing to switch on or choose. Cities and main roads are well covered in Ghana, while signal is weaker in remote rural areas.
Your data reaches the internet through Austria, a normal setup for travel eSIMs; our IP address guide explains more. If you buy a daily plan, it slows to 512 Kbps once that day's allowance is used.
How much data do you need in Ghana?
Light: maps, messages, email (about 0.25 GB a day). Standard: plus social, music, some video (about 0.7 GB a day). Heavy: plus streaming, video calls, hotspot (about 1.8 GB a day).
