“very bad coverage, I've been traveling through Zimbabwe for a week and had a connection in exactly one place (Bulawayo) and also there not everywhere. Not even in touristy places like Victoria Falls it did work. Singly avoid this eSim from Airalo. I've also used there global eSim which worked just fine.”
Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Zimbabwe

Econet Wireless Zimbabwe: The largest telecommunications provider in Zimbabwe, offering extensive network coverage and a wide range of mobile services.
NetOne: A state-owned operator providing comprehensive mobile services with significant coverage across urban and rural areas.
Telecel Zimbabwe: The third-largest mobile operator, offering various mobile services with a focus on affordability.
In addition to these major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Zimbabwe has licensed its first Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), Dolphin Telecoms. MVNOs offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers, providing additional options for consumers. However, most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure, not MVNOs.
Yes. Orange Travel offers a Travel eSIM plan called World – Zone 6 that includes a phone number and SMS support for travelers in Zimbabwe. The plan provides 50 MB of data for 30 days at a price of $22.50 USD. The telephony features include inbound and outbound voice calls and inbound and outbound SMS messages. Because the dialing code listed for the plan is +33 (France), the phone number is not a local Zimbabwe number; instead it uses a foreign dialing code, which still allows calls and text messages to and from Zimbabwe through the eSIM.
