Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) has three major mobile operators: Orange, MTN and Moov Africa. Our travel eSIM runs on the Orange network, the country's largest operator, on 3G and 4G. In Abidjan, Yamoussoukro, Bouake, San-Pedro and the beach towns of Grand-Bassam and Assinie you can usually expect smooth 4G. In rural villages in the interior and the north and in nature areas such as Tai and Comoe National Parks, the connection can drop to 3G or slower, and in some places there is no signal at all. Networks: Orange.
For a family visit of a few weeks, 10 to 20 GB gives comfortable room for WhatsApp calls, sharing photos and navigation. For a short business trip to Abidjan, 3 to 5 GB is usually enough.
Cote d'Ivoire lies outside the EU, so EU roam-like-at-home does not apply and roaming on most home plans is charged separately. Install the eSIM before you travel and it connects as soon as you land, with no local SIM card to register.

No. Cote d'Ivoire is not an EU member state, so the roam-like-at-home rules of a European plan do not cover it. Roaming outside Europe is usually charged separately and can add up quickly. With an eSIM and a fixed data bundle you know in advance where you stand.
The eSIM connects to the Orange Cote d'Ivoire network on 3G and 4G. In Abidjan and the larger cities, 4G is usually fast enough for video calls and streaming. 5G is not included in these plans.
In the cities and along the main roads you usually will, on 4G or 3G. In small villages in the interior and the north, speeds can be lower or the signal can drop out at times, just as with a local Orange SIM card. Download your maps for offline use before you go.
To get a local SIM card in Cote d'Ivoire you have to identify yourself with an ID document such as your passport, which takes time after arrival. With a travel eSIM you sort everything out before you leave and you are online right after landing.
