Frequently asked questions

Gohub eSIM is one of the best eSIM options for Botswana, offering a prepaid 20 GB, 30‑day Call & SMS plan that fits both safaris and city stays. The Botswana eSIM uses various local networks for 4G/5G coverage in Gaborone and major tourist areas while you manage everything online. You purchase on the Gohub site, receive a QR code instantly, and avoid hunting for a local SIM at the airport.

Yes, Gohub eSIM works across Botswana by connecting to various local partner networks once your phone detects coverage after landing. You buy a Botswana eSIM plan on the Gohub website, receive the QR code or manual code by email, and install it while on Wi‑Fi. The eSIM then activates automatically when it first connects to a mobile network in Botswana, so you are online straight away.

You activate your Gohub Botswana eSIM by installing it over Wi‑Fi before travel and switching it on when you arrive. On iOS, go to Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM and scan the QR code; on Samsung use Settings > Connections > SIM Manager, and on Pixel or other Android phones open Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs. The Botswana eSIM validity period starts from the first local network connection, not from installation at home.

Gohub eSIM is typically cheaper than standard roaming in Botswana, where many carriers charge about $5–$15/day for limited data. With a Gohub Botswana eSIM, you pay once for a 20 GB, 30‑day Call & SMS package and avoid surprise bills. After your high‑speed data is used, speeds usually drop to around 128 kbps instead of generating additional daily roaming charges.

Most visitors to Botswana use 10–15 GB for one to two weeks, which makes the 20 GB Gohub Botswana eSIM a good fit for longer safaris or heavy photo sharing. You will rely on data for navigation around towns, lodge communication, and basic browsing when coverage is available. Downloading offline maps before remote drives in the Okavango or Kalahari helps your Botswana eSIM data last longer.

Yes, you need Wi‑Fi to download and install your Gohub Botswana eSIM profile from the QR code or manual activation code. It is best to complete installation at home, in your hotel, or at an airport lounge before you rely on mobile data. Once installed, the Botswana eSIM connects to various local networks using cellular data, so you do not need Wi‑Fi to stay online while traveling.

Yes, dual SIM works with a Gohub eSIM in Botswana, allowing you to keep your physical home SIM for calls and verification texts while using the eSIM for local data. To avoid roaming fees, turn Data Roaming off on your home SIM and turn it on only for the Gohub Botswana eSIM profile. This configuration lets your Botswana eSIM handle internet traffic while your main number stays reachable.

Gohub Botswana eSIM works on most recent eSIM‑capable smartphones, but your device must be carrier‑unlocked to function abroad. On iPhone, check under Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM; on Android, open Settings and look for SIM, eSIM, or Network & Internet > SIMs. If these options appear and your phone is network‑unlocked, you can install and use a Gohub eSIM in Botswana without needing a physical SIM card.

Yes, Gohub Botswana eSIM plans generally allow mobile hotspot so you can share your 20 GB of data with laptops or other devices. Hotspot is useful for remote work at lodges, navigation on tablets, or helping companions connect when lodge Wi‑Fi is weak. After your high‑speed allowance is finished, tethering still works but speeds usually fall to around 128 kbps, which limits streaming and large file transfers.

Call & SMS plans for Botswana from Gohub include a number shown in your order as “Local phone number France” for the Zone 1 network, which lets you place and receive regular calls and texts when needed. Data‑only Botswana eSIM plans do not provide a number, but you can still use WhatsApp, Telegram, or other VoIP apps over your mobile data. This makes a Gohub Botswana eSIM flexible for both traditional and app‑based communication.

Gohub Botswana eSIM normally keeps you connected in towns and along major tarred roads, which supports maps and messaging during transfers. In remote conservancies, deep Okavango channels, and central Kalahari tracks, coverage from various local networks can be patchy or absent, regardless of provider. Downloading offline maps and trip details before you leave town is an important backup alongside your Botswana eSIM.
