Sanft, einfach, funktioniert einfach. Nutze es wieder.
Schnelle Aktivierung und stabile Verbindung. Sehr praktisch 🌟 Habe es während meiner Reise auf Madeira benutzt.
Wundervoller Service, habe eine eSIM für Großbritannien erhalten. Hatte keine Probleme.
Früher hatte ich 3 Handys, aber die Internetverbindung war nicht die beste, deshalb habe ich angefangen, Blikst zu benutzen, und ich finde es sehr nützlich.
The Blikst Gabon eSIM runs on Celtel, which is now part of the Airtel group in regional terms, though most of the country still trades on the Celtel infrastructure. You get 3G and 4G speeds. Coverage is strongest in Libreville and Port-Gentil, with reliable 3G and some 4G zones around Franceville and Oyem. Bear in mind that 3G networks in smaller markets can feel slower than you're used to back home.
Coverage skews to populated centres. Libreville has the best signal with 4G across the main neighbourhoods like Quartier Louis, Glass, Nombakele and the airport-Akanda road. Port-Gentil has solid 4G in town, and Franceville and Oyem get reliable 3G plus some 4G. The RN1 to the Cameroon border at Bitam has coverage in populated stretches with thin patches between. The national parks — Loango, Lopé, Ivindo and Minkébé — are offline experiences, so plan to be disconnected there.
Right after purchase you'll get a confirmation email with your eSIM details, and you simply scan the QR code provided to install the profile. Do this over Wi-Fi before you fly — most travellers connect through Paris CDG, Addis Ababa or Casablanca. The plan activates automatically when you arrive: land at Léon-Mba International, switch off airplane mode, and it registers on Celtel. Expect a minute or two for the handshake to complete.
Most modern smartphones are fully compatible with Blikst eSIMs, though a few exceptions exist, so check our detailed compatibility list to confirm your device. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. To check eSIM support, look on an iPhone under Settings, General, About for an EID number, or in your Android network settings. If it shows an EID, you're good to install the QR code profile.
It depends on your trip. A one-week business stay in Libreville fits easily in 1 to 3 GB. A two-week trip combining the capital with a Loango or Lopé safari needs 3 to 5 GB, and because the safari portion is offline your data use is front-loaded at the start and end. Oil-sector or NGO deployments staying a month in the capital typically need 10 GB, more with frequent video calls. Conservation volunteers at field stations will find camp is offline anyway, so modest plans work fine.
Yes, tethering and hotspot are supported, so you can share your connection with a laptop or a colleague's phone. In Libreville and Port-Gentil, where 4G is available, this works comfortably as a backup when over-subscribed hotel Wi-Fi stalls. Keep in mind that outside the main cities you'll often be on 3G or no signal at all, particularly on forest-park drives, so don't rely on tethering once you leave populated centres.
This is a data-only plan, so it doesn't include a local phone number for traditional calls or SMS. You can call and message over the internet using apps like WhatsApp, which is the dominant messaging app across francophone Africa — hotels, fixers and tour operators all use it. Because the eSIM is a separate digital line, you can leave your physical home SIM in the phone and keep your usual number active for anything important.
For short trips it leans strongly in the eSIM's favour. Western carriers rarely support Gabon cleanly, and roaming is typically charged as a premium African destination at $15 or more per day, if it's available at all. A local Airtel/Celtel or Moov Africa SIM requires passport registration at a proper retail shop. A Blikst plan sits on the Celtel network and activates the moment you land, saving you the queue and the registration hassle.
