Glo across the country
Your eSIM connects to Glo on 4G. Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano and Ibadan are all well covered, as are the main expressways between the major cities.
Nigeria is large and densely populated in the south, thinner in the north and northeast, and coverage broadly follows that pattern.
No NIN, no SIM registration
Nigeria requires SIM cards to be linked to a National Identification Number, and enforcement has been strict — unlinked lines get barred. For a visitor, obtaining a NIN is not a quick errand.
A travel eSIM sidesteps the requirement entirely, since it's issued outside the country. You switch it on and it works.
Lagos traffic, and why maps matter
Lagos traffic is genuinely notorious, and the difference between a 30-minute journey and a three-hour one is often the route. Live traffic data is not a luxury here.
Ride-hailing apps work well across Lagos and Abuja and are the usual way visitors move around. 5 GB at £20.99 comfortably covers a fortnight of that.
Good to know
Questions, answered
Do I need a NIN to use this eSIM?+
No. The National Identification Number requirement applies to SIMs issued in Nigeria. Your eSIM is provisioned before you travel, so there's nothing to register and no risk of the line being barred.
Is it useful for getting around Lagos?+
Very. Live traffic routing genuinely changes journey times in Lagos, and ride-hailing apps are how most visitors get about. It's one of the destinations where data does real work.
How do I install it?+
After checkout we email your eSIM and a QR code. Scan it in your phone's settings, switch the line on, and you're ready — do it before you fly and it activates when you land.
Will it work on my phone?+
Most phones from the last few years support eSIM (iPhone XS and newer, recent Samsung/Pixel). Check your phone in Settings, or use our compatibility checker.
When does my plan start?+
Validity counts from first connection in the destination, not from purchase — so you can buy and install early without wasting days.
Can I keep using my normal number?+
Yes. The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your usual SIM, so calls and texts on your main number still work.
