“Calls & SMS didn't work at all. Could neither receive or make/send. The eSIM doesn't appear to support calls at all - it's a VoIP service via the app, but doesn't work anyway.

Many users have the same problems. Had I read the reviews before purchasing them I wouldn't have wasted my money.

Data was ok, sometimes slow even with good signal.”

“This service is a joke and a lost of money lost. It is not working in Tunisia. 90% of the time is disconnect and useless. You can get 10GB from Orange, from the airport with 8 Euro, or 27GB for 12 Euro. Cheaper and working perfect. I contacted customer service for help or refund but they don't bother to help you. I received no replay. Don't get fooled by the owner that provide a review for every comment on this site. They really don't care about you, they care only in taking your money for nothing.
July 27, 2024 update: no reaction from customer service, no refund, they don't care!”

Tunisia Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Tunisia

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Tunisia, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

There are approximately 140 travel eSIM providers and roughly 5, 600 prepaid data plans available in Tunisia, offering a wide variety of options that make it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Tunisia?

Yes, several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans for Tunisia. Providers such as Firsty, abesteSIM, Yesim, Yoho Mobile, Roamify, and Truely all have plans without a data cap. However, many of these unlimited options include speed throttling; for instance, Firsty limits speed to 256 kbps and indicates that speeds may be reduced, while abesteSIM and others mention potential throttling with a maximum speed of 5 Mbps.

The overall price range for these unlimited plans spans from a free option at $0.00 USD with very low speeds up to about $111.59 USD. Within that spectrum, typical unlimited plans start around $2 to $3 USD for short‑term packages and can rise to roughly $100 USD for longer validity periods. Travelers should choose a plan that matches their intended usage, keeping in mind that the speed limits may affect activities such as streaming or video calls.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Tunisia?

Tunisia's mobile network infrastructure is supported by three major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):

Tunisie Telecom: The oldest and largest telecommunications operator in Tunisia, offering a comprehensive range of mobile services, including 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G data services.
Ooredoo Tunisia: A subsidiary of the Qatari telecommunications company Ooredoo, providing a wide array of mobile services, including 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G data services.
Orange Tunisia: Part of the multinational Orange Group, offering various mobile services, including 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G data services.

In addition to these MNOs, Tunisia has several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that provide mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. Notable local MVNOs include Lycamobile Tunisie, which uses Tunisie Telecom's network, and Asel Mobile. It's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure, not MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Tunisia?

Yes, travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS capability for Tunisia exist, and they are offered by several providers. The plans are available from GlobaleSIM, Roamify, Esimtofly, Orange Travel, Earth Esim and TravelKon. These plans provide foreign telephone numbers—most use the dialing code +1 or +33—so the number is not a local Tunisia number, but the plans still support inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS (some plans allow inbound only SMS). Prices start around $4.00 USD for a 1 GB, 7‑day package and can rise to about $105.00 USD for a 20 GB, 365‑day package; validity ranges from 7 days to 365 days.
