Most brands such as <strong>Maya Mobile or <strong>Airalo<\/strong><\/strong> have a chat bot that takes a long time to respond and only does so in English. In the case of SimOptions, technical support will depend on the brand of eSIM card you have chosen. In this regard <strong>Holafly&#8217;s technical support is the best<\/strong> as they respond in less than 1 minute in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese via web chat or WhatsApp, where a conversation is automatically opened after purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important aspects is price. <strong>The cheapest brands are <strong>Sim Options<\/strong> <strong>and Airalo<\/strong>; however, their data plans are very limited and you&#8217;re likely to run out and have to <strong>pay for the top-up again<\/strong>. <\/strong>That is why it is sometimes advisable to pay a little more and get an <strong>eSIM card with unlimited data like Holafly&#8217;s<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/holafly.sjv.io\/6ygWAG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"> <\/a>for peace of mind and no need to worry about running out of data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, <strong>Holafly eSIM cards are the best option for traveling to Kenya<\/strong> because of their affordable plan and multilingual technical support that responds in less than a minute.<strong> <\/strong>Their plans are also really flexible and suit all types of travel. <strong>With Holafly

small data bundles or short validity, while unlimited plans cost more upfront but are easier to forget about once you land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re only in Nairobi for a long weekend and will mostly use maps and WhatsApp, a small, low-cost package can be enough. But for safaris, long road trips or work-from-anywhere days, running out of data and topping up several times can end up more expensive (and annoying) than paying a bit extra for an unlimited plan from the start. Think about how much you really use your phone on trips and choose based on that, not just the lowest sticker price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other-options-for-internet-in-Kenya\"><\/span>Other options for internet in Kenya<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides eSIM cards, which tend to be <strong>the best option for internet in Kenya<\/strong>, there are other options for enjoying the internet in your destination country.

See recommends that you spend as little time as possible connected, use it for one-off consultations and do not expose personal data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some places where you can find WiFi on your trip in Kenya if you need it: airports, museums, the metro, parks, cafes, restaurants and hotels. There are also APPs that tell you where to find WiFi hotspots, as well as Facebook, which also offers this service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-activate-roaming-for-kenya\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Activate-roaming-for-Kenya\"><\/span>4. Activate roaming for Kenya<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the options that is increasingly losing popularity due to its <strong>high costs<\/strong> is roaming, also known as data roaming. It is the simplest option as you can receive calls and connect to the internet without having to install anything or change your phone number. However, it is not the most widely used option because of the high bills. <strong>A gigabyte can cost up to 25\u20ac<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before embarking on a trip, it is advisable to ask your carrier about the cost of roaming so that you can compare with other services such as eSIM cards. In Spain some of the companies that offer roaming in Kenya are <strong>Orange, Yoigo, Jazztel, Movistar or Vodafone. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide to use another option, remember to turn off data roaming on your mobile phones or change the main line if you use an eSIM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#faf6f3\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong><strong>Advantages<\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td>No installation on our mobile.<br>No extra services to sign up for.<br>You can receive calls, send messages and connect to the internet immediately.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong><strong>Disadvantages<\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td>It is the most expensive option.<br>Sometimes it is activated without realising it.<br>Not all phone companies offer this service.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Advantages and disadvantages of roaming for Kenya<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" data-attachment-id=\"27457\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/kenya\/esim-kenya-internet\/attachment\/internet-in-kenya\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Internet-in-Kenya.jpg?fit=1291%2C864&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1291,864\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Internet in Kenya\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Internet-in-Kenya.jpg?fit=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Internet-in-Kenya.jpg?fit=1024%2C685&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Internet-in-Kenya-1024x685.jpg?resize=1024%2C685&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Internet in Kenya\" class=\"wp-image-27457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Internet-in-Kenya.jpg?resize=1024%2C685&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Internet-in-Kenya.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Internet-in-Kenya.jpg?resize=768%2C514&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Internet-in-Kenya.jpg?resize=1140%2C763&amp;ssl=1 1140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Internet-in-Kenya.jpg?w=1291&amp;ssl=1 1291w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions-about-having-internet-in-kenya\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently-asked-questions-about-having-internet-in-Kenya\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions about having internet in Kenya<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1689024461156\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I know if my mobile phone is compatible with an eSIM?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Most models of common brands such as Apple, Samsung, Motorola, Huawei or Google are compatible as long as they are recent models.

This is possible thanks to a chip that is built into the latest generation of mobile phones.<br\/>The purchase of the eSIM data plan can be done through the website or the App of some brands. Choose your destination, the duration and the gigabytes of the data plan and pay securely.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1689024428870\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How are eSIM cards installed?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Once you have verified that your mobile phone is compatible with the product and chosen the data plan that best suits your needs, go to the mobile data settings on your smartphone and select &#8220;add data plan&#8221;. The camera will then open, so you can scan the QR code that you will have received in the mail after the purchase. The installation and activation of your card will then begin.<br\/>This process must be carried out with an internet connection, which is why it is recommended that you do it before setting off on your trip or as soon as you arrive at the hotel.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1689024479368\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the delivery time of the physical SIM card?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">SIM cards can be purchased in physical shops or online, with delivery times ranging from 48 to 72 hours.
