Guinea-Bissau eSIM FAQs
Hands down, a travel eSIM beats roaming in Guinea-Bissau. Here’s why:
Cheaper Data: Pay local prices rather than roaming surcharges from your home network.
Instant Setup: No waiting for physical SIM delivery - your eSIM is ready the minute you land.
Full Expense Control: Track data usage and spending in - app, so you avoid surprise fees.
Yes! Our eSIMs cover more than 200 countries, including Guinea-Bissau. We even provide regional eSIMs that span multiple countries in one package - head over to our Travel eSIMs page to learn more.
Not until you land in Guinea-Bissau. Installing ahead won’t start your plan; it goes live automatically when you arrive.
Make sure to install before you travel, as WiFi is required for setup and this way your Guinea-Bissau eSIM will be ready to use when you land.
If you encounter connection issues, see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact support.
Not exactly. Once your Guinea-Bissau eSIM is active, it’s tied to that country.
If you're visiting more than one place, our regional Travel eSIMs offer broader coverage so you can roam freely across multiple destinations.
No, our Guinea-Bissau travel eSIMs do not include any phone number - they strictly provide internet data. For calls, use data - driven apps such as WhatsApp, Signal, or Facetime.
Connection Issues: If you’re experiencing trouble connecting, start with our eSIM troubleshooting guide. If all else fails, reach out to us and we’ll sort it out quickly.
Installation Support: Struggling to install your eSIM? Check out our step-by-step installation article - or contact support directly and we’ll walk you through it.
Other Questions: Anything else on your mind? Contact us here and we’ll have your back in no time.
Your eSIM will activate automatically when you arrive in Guinea-Bissau. Though we recommend installing your Guinea-Bissau Travel eSIM before you arrive (this is different to activating).
To do this, scan the QR code we provide or install the eSIM directly from the ZenSim app while connected to WiFi. Once you arrive in Guinea-Bissau, your eSIM will activate automatically.
If you encounter any issues check out our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us directly ☺️
Yep! 99% of our eSIMs can be topped up within the ZenSim app with just a couple of clicks. If you run out of data, need more days, or you even want to add a new destination to the same eSIM, you can do all of this in the top up section in the Zen Garden in the app.
Log into the app, navigate to the Zen Garden, and you will see a button to tp up your eSIM right there.
Extending a long trip: If you're travelling for more than 30 days, you can add as many top ups as you need to your first eSIM to extend the days and data you have. Each top up will only take effect when the previous eSIM is expired so you can purchase the top ups any time you want without worrying about overwriting your existing plan.
Multi country top ups: You can now add multiple countries to most of our eSIMs via top up, so if you're in Europe for example and are stopping over in Dubai on the way home, you can add a Dubai top up to your Europe eSIM so you don't need to reinstall anything. Alternate country top ups will only activate when you arrive in the new country.
The eSIM activates when you touch down in Guinea-Bissau - if you’ve already installed it, it should connect automatically.
Installing while already in Guinea-Bissau works too; it will start as soon as you complete setup.
If you experience connection issues, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or reach out to our support team.
Traditional calls and SMS aren’t part of our Guinea-Bissau eSIM packages - they’re strictly data provision. To talk or text, use internet - based services (WhatsApp, Signal, etc.) with your eSIM data.
Definitely. Install your Guinea-Bissau travel eSIM up to 30 days before departure, and it will activate automatically when you arrive.
Installing early won’t consume data or days from your plan until you land in Guinea-Bissau.
If an iPhone shows an activation error when installing abroad, you can safely ignore it - check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for guidance.

Top 3 things to do in Guinea-Bissau
Discover the Untouched Beauty of the Bijagós Archipelago
The Bijagós Archipelago is a stunning collection of 88 islands off the coast of Guinea-Bissau, many of which remain uninhabited and teeming with wildlife. Declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, these islands are home to rare saltwater hippos, sea turtles, and diverse bird species. Bubaque, the most developed island, offers pristine beaches, eco-lodges, and cultural encounters with the local Bijagó people. Whether you’re kayaking through mangroves, watching turtles nest on the shores, or simply soaking up the tranquillity, the Bijagós Archipelago is one of the most untouched gems of West Africa.
Experience the Lively Markets of Bissau
Bissau, the capital of Guinea-Bissau, is a fascinating mix of colonial history and vibrant local culture. The city’s markets, such as Bandim Market, offer a true taste of daily life, where stalls overflow with fresh seafood, colourful fabrics, and handcrafted goods. Walk through the historic streets to see remnants of Portuguese architecture, visit the Bissau Velho district, or stop by a local café to try Jollof rice and palm wine. For those interested in history, the Amílcar Cabral Mausoleum honours the revolutionary leader who played a key role in Guinea-Bissau’s independence.

Cantanhez Forest National Park, located in the south of the country, is a paradise for nature lovers. This biodiverse rainforest is home to chimpanzees, monkeys, and exotic bird species, making it an exciting destination for wildlife spotting. The park is also an important conservation area where local communities live in harmony with the environment. Visitors can take guided nature walks to explore lush jungle landscapes, meet the local Balanta people, and learn about traditional farming methods. If you love adventure and eco-tourism, Cantanhez Forest is a must-visit.
