Boundless Connectivity: Why HandySIM is Your Partner in Guinea-Bissau

Discover the authenticity of the region without technical difficulties. With HandySIM, the internet is always with you:

  • Online Immediately Upon Arrival: You can install your eSIM plan in advance. The moment you land at Osvaldo Vieira International Airport (OXB), your connection is ready.
  • Full Digital Independence: Purchasing a local SIM card often requires time and providing documents on-site. With HandySIM, you activate everything entirely online in minutes.
  • Security and Reliability: In areas where public Wi-Fi is rare or unstable, HandySIM provides a private and secure mobile data channel, ideal for communication and maps.
  • Technical Advantage: Your physical SIM card remains active for emergency calls, while HandySIM manages the internet traffic, protecting you from high roaming bills.

HandySIM Tips: Practical Insights for the Terrain in Guinea-Bissau

  • The Bijagós Archipelago: If you plan a trip to the islands, keep in mind that the connection at sea may be limited. Having an activated data plan is key for logistics before departing from the mainland.
  • Navigating Bissau: The city has a charm best discovered on foot or by local transport. Constant access to GPS will help you orient yourself more easily through the small streets.
  • Terrain and Signal Warning: The country is mostly flat with numerous mangroves and river deltas. The signal is most stable in the capital, Bissau, and major towns. In remote coastal zones or dense vegetation, coverage may vary, so our system automatically connects to the strongest available network.

Signal Quality and Network Coverage

The telecommunications sector in the country is modernizing:

  • Maximum Connectivity: HandySIM provides access to leading local operators (such as Orange Bissau), guaranteeing reliable 4G/LTE coverage for your mobile data.
  • Efficiency: HandySIM's eSIM technology minimizes power consumption, which is important for travel in areas with limited access to electricity for charging.

FAQ

Which mobile operators provide the internet connection in Guinea-Bissau?

HandySIM utilizes the networks of the leading providers in the country, such as Orange Bissau and MTN Guinea-Bissau. They offer the widest coverage in the capital, Bissau, and major towns. Your device will automatically select the most stable signal for a quality connection.

Will I have internet if I visit the Bijagós Islands?

Coverage on the Bijagós archipelago is primarily available on the more populated islands and tourist areas. Please keep in mind that on more remote islands, the signal may be weaker. With HandySIM, you are guaranteed access to the best available Orange or MTN network even in these exotic locations.

Can I share my internet (Hotspot) with other devices?

Yes, the personal hotspot feature is permitted. You can share your mobile data with a laptop or other phones, which is extremely useful if you are traveling for business or in a group and want to provide access to others.

Is it safe to use my mobile banking via HandySIM in the country?

It is completely safe. Using a private, encrypted connection through an eSIM is much more secure than connecting to public Wi-Fi networks, which are often unavailable or unprotected. Your data and transactions pass directly through the operator's network, ensuring maximum security.

Can I use the same plan if I cross the border into Senegal or Guinea?

Our local plans are designed specifically for the territory of Guinea-Bissau. If you plan to travel to neighboring countries, we recommend checking our regional African packages to keep your service active while crossing borders.

Can I keep my WhatsApp number while using HandySIM?

Yes, this is a huge advantage. All your communication apps (WhatsApp, Viber, Messenger) will continue to work with your current number. HandySIM only provides mobile data, so you won't lose your contacts or chats. Just ensure your phone is factory unlocked.

What should I do if the signal disappears in a more remote area?

If you find yourself in a zone with weak coverage and the connection drops, simply toggle "Airplane Mode" on and off. This will force your phone to search for the newest and strongest Orange or MTN cell tower to restore your internet.
