## Networks

- Lesotho: Vodacom (4G)

## Which Lesotho eSIM plan do I need?

Vodacom is the network here, so match your plan to how many days you're away and how you'll use your phone.

- **City break in Maseru:** Choose 1 GB for 7 days. That's the plan for 3 days of light use: maps, messages and email.
- **A week-long business trip:** Choose 5 GB for 30 days. That's the plan for 7 days of standard use: messages, maps, social media, music and some video.
- **A fortnight touring:** Choose 10 GB for 30 days. That's the plan for 14 days of standard use, from Maseru to Mokhotlong.
- **A month-long stay:** Choose 20 GB for 30 days. That's the plan for a month of standard use.

Every plan can be [topped up](/help/top-up-esim), so you can add data if your trip runs longer.

## Will my eSIM have signal in Lesotho?

In Lesotho, your eSIM joins Vodacom on 4G. Towns and lowland areas are covered; signal can be patchy in the mountains. Your phone picks Vodacom by itself, so there is nothing to choose once you land.

Daily plans slow to a much lower speed once the day's allowance is used up, so a fixed plan is the steadier pick for all-day use. Your data also reaches the internet through Israel, which is a normal setup for travel eSIMs; [find out what that means for you](/help/ip-address-another-country).

## Using your phone in Lesotho: data tips from landing onwards

**Arriving:** Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before you fly. At Moshoeshoe I (MSU), switch it on, then [turn on data roaming for the eSIM line](/help/turn-on-data-roaming).

**On the network:** Your eSIM uses Vodacom's 4G network, so pick the plan that fits your days. Whether you stay in Maseru or head to Mokhotlong, every plan can be topped up if you run short.

**Staying in touch:** WhatsApp and Messenger are the messaging apps to have ready. Your home number stays on for calls and texts, and you can [read how to keep WhatsApp](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number) too.

**Data for the trip:** Light use, such as maps, messages and email, is about 0.25 GB a day. Standard use, with social media and music, is about 0.7 GB a day. Heavy use, with streaming and hotspot, is about 1.8 GB a day, so a 20 GB plan for 30 days gives long stays room to breathe.

## Questions

### How much is an eSIM for Lesotho?

Lesotho eSIMs start at £14.99 for 1 GB over 7 days. A 5 GB plan for 30 days costs £63.99. Prices include any taxes and show in pounds, euros or dollars.

### Which networks does the Lesotho eSIM use?

Your eSIM connects to Vodacom in Lesotho. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically.

### When does my Lesotho eSIM start?

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

### Can I top up my Lesotho eSIM?

Yes. Most Lesotho 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?

Lesotho plans route your data through Israel, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Websites and apps may show that country's content; your speed and coverage in Lesotho 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.

### Which airport do I land at in Lesotho?

Moshoeshoe I (MSU) is the airport to know for Lesotho. Install your eSIM before you fly, so you have one less thing to do on arrival, then pick a plan that matches your stay, from 7 days up to 30.

### Can I use WhatsApp in Lesotho?

Yes. WhatsApp and Messenger are the two messaging apps to know in Lesotho, and both run on your eSIM's mobile data. Keep data switched on while you chat, and message home from Maseru.

### Can I use my eSIM as a hotspot in Lesotho?

Yes. Hotspot sharing is one of the heaviest uses of data in Lesotho, so keep an eye on your allowance when you share with a laptop.

### Is there 5G in Lesotho?

No. Vodacom runs on 4G in Lesotho, so 4G is what your eSIM connects to. If your phone shows a 5G symbol at home, expect the 4G signal here instead.

### Which towns in Lesotho should I plan around?

Maseru, Semonkong, Butha-Buthe, Mokhotlong and Teyateyaneng are the towns to plan around. Map your route first, then pick a plan that covers the days you'll spend moving between them.
