Avoid the risks of unsecured Wi-Fi networks and the burden of exorbitant roaming fees during your stay in Central Africa. HandySIM’s digital technology provides direct access to the 4G/LTE networks of leading national operators in the DRC, such as Vodacom and Airtel. As a certified platform for eSIM services, we guarantee a secure infrastructure and an encrypted connection, active the moment you land at N'djili International Airport (FIH) in Kinshasa.
Unlike traditional prepaid services, an eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in chip in your smartphone that is activated remotely. Here, the advantage is immense: while standard methods involve wasting valuable time searching for local offices and navigating complex document registrations, with HandySIM you receive activated internet in seconds directly on your device.
HandySIM is designed to be an uncompromising partner for business leaders, humanitarian experts, and travelers. Our technology supports intelligent network switching, ensuring you have the best possible signal in Kinshasa as well as in economic hubs like Lubumbashi.
The HandySIM network is integrated with the largest African telecoms, providing coverage in key economic zones: • Major Cities: 100% coverage in Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, Kolwezi, and Goma. • Industrial Hubs: Stable connection in the mining regions of the Katanga province. • Transport Nodes: N'djili Airport (FIH), Matadi Port, and key border crossings.
The service is fully compatible with all modern devices featuring eSIM functionality, including iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S, and Google Pixel.
The DRC shares borders with key countries for business and tourism in East and Central Africa. With HandySIM, crossing borders is seamless and requires no card swapping:
Additional Destinations:
Activation is completed by enabling "Data Roaming" in your device's digital profile settings. HandySIM allows for automatic network registration, providing internet access as soon as your phone detects a signal from a local operator.
eSIM plans utilize the networks of the leading regional providers: Vodacom, Airtel, and Orange. This combined connectivity ensures an optimal 4G/LTE signal in major cities such as Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, and Goma.
Connectivity outside major urban centers and transport corridors can be limited due to dense vegetation and specific terrain. Signal quality depends directly on proximity to local telecom base stations located within populated settlements.
Using a digital data profile consumes about 10-20 MB for the initial loading of navigation maps, but it is recommended to download zones for offline use in advance. This ensures security when traveling between cities where the signal may be intermittent.
All data plans support VPN applications for additional encryption of your internet session. Using a private network is much safer than public Wi-Fi hotspots in hotels, ensuring the protection of corporate information and personal email.
Text messages and voice calls via messengers use minimal traffic, but video calls can reach up to 500 MB per hour. A constant connection through your eSIM plan is vital for staying in touch with family and business partners in a dynamic environment.
If the automatically selected network is not fast enough, you can manually switch between Vodacom and Airtel in your system settings. Manual operator selection often helps find a more stable data channel in densely populated or enclosed spaces. Before installation, ensure your device supports eSIM technology.
