Kenya eSIM FAQs
Not until you land in Kenya. 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 Kenya eSIM will be ready to use when you land.
If you encounter connection issues, see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact support.
Definitely. Install your Kenya 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 Kenya.
If an iPhone shows an activation error when installing abroad, you can safely ignore it - check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for guidance.
Your Kenya eSIM is designed for use within Kenya, so once it's been activated there, it won’t work in other countries.
If you're visiting multiple destinations, a better option might be one of our regional Travel eSIMs that cover entire regions like Europe or Asia.
No, the Kenya travel eSIM is data - only. It won’t give you a cellular voice line. If you want to call, just fire up WhatsApp, Telegram, or FaceTime using your data allowance.
No, these eSIMs only provide data access and do not assign you a phone number. To make calls, please use internet - enabled apps such as WhatsApp or FaceTime.
Absolutely. Nearly all of our Travel eSIMs can be extended directly inside the ZenSim app in just a few taps. You can top up extra data, more days, or even include an additional country on the same eSIM, you’ll find everything in the Zen Garden top up section.
Just sign in, head to the Zen Garden, and you’ll spot the option to top up your eSIM straight away.
Longer trips: If your adventure goes beyond 30 days, you can stack as many top ups as you like. Each one activates only after the previous plan ends, so you can buy them in advance without affecting your current eSIM.
Add more countries: Many of our eSIMs now support multi country top ups. For example, if you're using a Europe eSIM and have a stopover in Dubai, simply add a Dubai top up and it will activate automatically when you land without needing a new installation.
Your Kenya travel eSIM kicks in as soon as you arrive in Kenya - provided it was installed beforehand.
If you install it after you land, it should start working right away.
If you run into trouble, see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or get in touch with us.
