Benin Daily eSIM — Never Run Out of Data
Daily-renewing data plan for your Benin trip: choose 500MB–10GB high-speed data per day and the exact number of days you need (1–30 days). Once your daily high-speed allowance is exhausted, speeds are reduced — maps and messaging still work, unlike fixed-data plans where connectivity drops entirely.

Using mobile data in Benin: local tips
- Numbers now have ten digits. Since 30 November 2024 every Beninese number starts with 01. If a hotel or guide gives you an old eight-digit number, add 01 in front – from abroad, dial +229 01 and then the number.
- Ride-hailing in Cotonou. Gozem operates in Cotonou, letting you book a taxi in its app at a set price and follow the ride with real-time GPS tracking.
- Emergency numbers. Dial 118 for fire and ambulance and 117 for police. UK advice warns that emergency response is very limited, particularly outside Cotonou.

FAQ
Depends on your chosen plan: 500MB/day → 512 Kbps; 1GB/day → 512 Kbps; 2GB/day → 512 Kbps; 3GB/day → 1 Mbps; 10GB/day → 384 Kbps. After that, you stay connected until your daily high-speed allowance resets.
eSIM plans for Benin connect via Celtiis on 4G/LTE networks. Your device automatically selects the strongest local network. The carrier for each plan is listed on its detail page.
Daily plans provide a fixed amount of high-speed data refreshed each day (e.g., 1 GB/day). Once the daily high-speed limit is reached, speeds are reduced but connectivity remains — the full high-speed allowance resets the next day. Fixed-data plans end completely once exhausted; additional data must be purchased.
Essentially similar to "unlimited" plans on the market: you always stay connected, but speeds are reduced after exceeding your daily high-speed data allowance. We clearly state the reduced speed for each plan so you can choose the right one—no vague marketing.
Select the exact number of days for your trip — from 1 to 30 days. Pricing is per day: travel for 5 days, pay for 5 days — no need to overbuy a 30-day package.
1 GB/day is enough for maps, messaging, and social media. 2–3 GB/day if you frequently watch videos or make video calls. 5–10 GB/day for livestreaming or sharing a hotspot with your group.
For most plans, validity starts from the first time your eSIM connects to a network at your destination—you can safely install it at home before flying. Exact details for each plan are clearly stated on its product page.
