Ooredoo across the north and coast
Your eSIM connects to Ooredoo on 5G. Tunis, Sousse, Hammamet, Monastir, Sfax and Djerba are all well covered, as is the northern coastal strip and the main routes south.
The Sahara proper — the dunes beyond Douz, the salt flats at Chott el Jerid — thins out quickly, though the towns along the desert edge are served.
The southern circuit
The classic Tunisian route south takes in the underground dwellings at Matmata, the ksour at Tataouine and the Star Wars sets that still stand near Nefta and Ong Jemel.
Coverage exists in the towns and along the main roads. The 4x4 tracks out to the film sets and the dune excursions from Douz do not have it. Download the route and confirm your guide arrangements before setting off — it's easy country to get lost in and hard to describe your position without a map.
How much data
Tunisia is among our better-value North African destinations. A fortnight covering the coast and a southern loop runs comfortably on 5 GB at £6.99, and there's 20 GB at £20.99 if you're staying a month.
Good to know
Questions, answered
Will I have signal on a Sahara excursion?+
In Douz, Tozeur and the desert-edge towns, yes. Out on the dunes and the 4x4 tracks to the film sets, no. Download maps and settle arrangements with your guide before leaving town.
Is Djerba covered?+
Yes, Djerba is well covered on the same nationwide plan, including the resort strip and Houmt Souk.
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.
