Our verdict on each
Magenta Telekom
Magenta Telekom sells travel data as a carrier plan rather than a standalone eSIM, covering 140 countries from its home network. It suits existing Magenta and T-Mobile Austria customers adding a short trip package, with carrier billing and email, phone and help centre help if a package runs out.
Orange Senegal
Orange Senegal sells a carrier Pass Voyage rather than a travel eSIM, so it suits travellers whose route actually touches Senegal and who can reach an Orange shop on arrival. The entry price is XOF 5,000, and a single rate covers every listed destination.

Pros and cons
Magenta Telekom
Pros
- Broad reach for a carrier add-on, with coverage across 140 countries
- Buy a top-up when the package allowance runs out, with no further charges
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre
Cons
- Unlimited data is not part of the offer
- The fair use policy places ships, ferries, planes and satellite connections outside the package, which matters for cruise and ferry itineraries
- Unused units expire at the end of the package
Orange Senegal
Pros
- A tourist SIM is sold on arrival in Orange shops, so nothing has to be ordered before flying (Tourist SIM sold on arrival in Orange shops)
- A single price covers every listed destination, including the US, Europe, the UK, Japan, Thailand, Turkey and Mexico, so the rate is the same in each
- Top-ups are available, so a pass does not have to cover the whole trip in advance
Cons
- Unlimited data is not offered, so every allowance is a cap and heavy streaming days will use it quickly
- Support runs on email, help centre and community, which lists email, a help centre and a community rather than a live phone line
- It is a carrier plan run by SONATEL SA and handed over in its own shops (Tourist SIM sold on arrival in Orange shops), so it only helps if the trip reaches Senegal (SN)
Who each suits
Magenta Telekom
Who it suits
- Magenta or T-Mobile Austria customers who want travel data billed to their home line
- Travellers on short trips to Europe and beyond who need broad country coverage
- People already comfortable managing packages inside the carrier app and account
Who should look elsewhere
- Travellers who need unlimited data, which this offer does not include
- Anyone crossing at sea or in the air, since the fair use policy places ships, ferries, planes and satellite connections outside the package
- Travellers wanting a single market only, where SimToIsrael is a simpler fit
Orange Senegal
Who it suits
- Travellers whose itinerary includes Senegal and who can visit an Orange shop after landing
- Anyone who prefers a local carrier plan to a pre-bought travel eSIM
- Holidaymakers on a fixed schedule who would rather top up than buy one large bundle up front
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants unlimited data: Zwitchy lists it, while the Pass Voyage caps every bundle
- People who want a budget digital setup before departure: eSIMGo.is starts at $0.99 and needs no shop visit

Questions about each
Magenta Telekom
How many countries does the Magenta Telekom travel package cover?+
The travel package covers 140 countries, which puts it in the global range rather than a single market. You can buy it as a carrier plan added to an existing home line, so one package can cover several stops on a multi country trip.
Does Magenta Telekom offer unlimited data?+
Unlimited data is not part of this offer. The package runs on a fixed allowance, and data is stopped when that allowance is used up, with no further charges. If you need a heavier allowance, a top-up is available when the package runs out.
Orange Senegal
What does a Pass Voyage cost?+
The entry price is XOF 5,000, and a single rate covers every listed destination: the US, Europe, the UK, Japan, Thailand, Turkey and Mexico. Larger bundles are priced higher, and roaming data beyond a bundle is charged pay-as-you-go.
How much data is in each bundle?+
The entry bundle sits at XOF 5,000, and the allowance is sold in several sizes per pass period, from a small starter bundle through a middle tier up to a much larger one for heavy use. Nothing runs unlimited: once a bundle is spent, roaming data is billed pay-as-you-go.
