Question 1

How do I activate my Zambia eSIM?

Accepted Answer

After purchase you'll receive a QR code by email. Scan it from your phone's cellular settings to install the Zambia eSIM. Activation takes about 2 minutes and most plans start when you connect to a local network on arrival.

Question 2

Does my phone support eSIM in Zambia?

Accepted Answer

Most phones from 2019 onward support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy S/Note/Fold models. Check Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM, or use our compatibility checker.

Question 3

Can I keep my regular phone number?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Wanderly Zambia eSIM runs as a secondary line alongside your primary SIM, so you keep calls and texts on your home number while using local data from the eSIM.

Accepted Answer

Zambia eSIM plans start from $6.99 on Wanderly, with options for short trips, longer stays, and unlimited data.
