Will my eSIM have signal in Senegal?
Your eSIM joins Free's 4G network, and your phone picks it up by itself. Dakar and the main towns are well covered, though signal can be patchy in remote and rural areas. Keep in touch on WhatsApp and check maps as you go.
Your data reaches the internet through a Netherlands IP route, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. You can read more on our IP address help page. Daily plans slow to 512 Kbps once you've used the day's allowance, so keep an eye on heavy days.
How much data do you need in Senegal?
