How to install and activate your Burkina Faso eSIM
About 3 minutesDo this on Wi-Fi before you fly. Tap “Use QR code” and point the camera at the code in your email.
Turn off “Turn On This Line” so nothing connects while you are still at home.
Settings → Mobile Service → Mobile Data → Burkina Faso. Leave your home line as the default for calls and SMS.
Or “Add mobile plan” on Samsung. Choose “Scan QR code” and use the code from your email.
Some phones enable it on install. Toggle it off until you are on the plane.
Settings → SIMs → Mobile data → Burkina Faso. Turn on data roaming for this SIM only — that is what lets it attach to a local network.
Install before boarding and switch the line on after landing — no SIM vending machine, no counter queue.
Step-by-step guide →Burkina Faso eSIM vs a local SIM vs roaming
eSIM vs SIM vs roamingMost travellers compare three options. The differences that actually bite are paperwork, wasted days and what happens when you cross into a neighbouring country mid-trip.
| RoamiData eSIM | Airport SIM | Home-carrier roaming | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Getting it | Online, QR in a minute | Queue at the airport counter | Nothing to install |
| ID needed | None | Passport, in person | None |
| Paid days | Only the days you pick | Fixed packs, often 30 days | Billed per day or per MB |
| Typical cost | From $11.99 | Varies by airport | Depends on your home carrier |
| Cross-border | Add a regional pass, keep the same eSIM | Buy a new SIM per country | Works, but usually throttled |
| Your number | Stays live for calls and SMS | Swap the tray, lose it | Stays live |
| If it breaks | 24/7 chat, refund if it never connects | Back to the counter | Call your carrier |
Roaming rates vary by carrier; check before you travel. Check your own carrier before you travel — some include Burkina Faso in a regional bundle.
Four things worth setting up before you land
Add the eSIM at home on a stable connection. The QR code arrives by email right after purchase.
Download the map for your destination over hotel Wi-Fi before you set off.
This is a data-only eSIM, so calls and SMS stay on your regular SIM.
Streaming and large uploads use data fastest. Top up from your account if you run low.
What travellers say about the Burkina Faso eSIM
All 8 reviews →“RoamiData has wide global coverage and is fast to install. I have been to 20 countries and regions and have always used it. It is really safe and convenient. I will still choose to recommend it to my friends in the future.”
“RoamiData covers more than 200 countries and has a lot of data plans. I have used it to go to many places. The network is very fast, the customer service is always online, and the service is very good.”
“In the past, I always had to prepare a physical card and need to change a card in each country, which was really inconvenient. This time, a friend recommended me RoamiData Thailand’s data package. The price is very affordable. I will use it when traveling in the future.”
“I have been using RoamiData for many years. It feels very good and the service is excellent. I recommend it to my friends around me.”
“I originally planned to start international roaming for a day, but I didn’t expect that the roaming charges would be as much as the cost of my hotel stay. It was too expensive, so my friend recommended RoamiData to me. I followed the prompts and eSIM, and purchased data according to my needs. So convenient!”
“I highly recommend RoamiData. The Internet speed is super fast and it is the most convenient application I have ever used. I recommend it to everyone.”
