Our verdict

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

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
  • It runs as a carrier plan (5g and carrier plan), which keeps setup familiar for anyone used to buying from a network counter

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)

Frequently asked questions

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.

Is the data unlimited?+

No. Unlimited data is not offered, and the Pass Voyage is a global offer that works on the same rate across destinations. Heavy users can take the largest bundle listed, but every allowance is a cap, with pay-as-you-go roaming once it is used up.

How long does the pass last?+

Each pass runs for a set period, so it suits a booked holiday with a return date more than open ended travel. The plan is listed for short and long trips alike (short trip and long trip), and top-ups are available if data needs to continue past the original period.

Where do I buy the SIM?+

A tourist SIM is sold on arrival in Orange shops, so it can be picked up after landing rather than ordered in advance. The sale is run direct by the carrier (carrier), so the network handles the handover itself.

Is it a physical SIM or an eSIM?+

It is a physical tourist SIM sold on arrival in Orange shops (Tourist SIM sold on arrival in Orange shops), and it runs as a carrier plan rather than an app-based profile. The carrier behind it is SONATEL SA, based in Senegal, and top-ups are available for the trip.

Which destinations does it cover?+

A single price covers all listed destinations: the US, Europe, the UK, Japan, Thailand, Turkey and Mexico. The pass is listed as a global offer, and the same rate applies to each destination, so there is no per-country price to compare before buying.

What support is available?+

Support runs on email, help centre and community, which lists email, a help centre and a community. A traveller mid-roaming can put a problem in writing and work through the help centre answers while the pass is running, and email and the community cover the questions that come up after arrival.
