Activation rapide et connexion stable. Très pratique 🌟 Je l'ai utilisé lors de mon voyage à Madère.
Soutien charmant, j'ai obtenu une eSIM pour le Royaume-Uni. Aucun problème rencontré.
J'avais l'habitude d'avoir 3 téléphones portables, mais la connexion internet n'était pas la meilleure, c'est pourquoi j'ai commencé à utiliser Blikst et je le trouve très utile
The Blikst Rwanda eSIM runs on MTN Rwanda at 3G and 4G speeds. MTN is the country's largest operator by subscribers and has the widest rural 4G reach, including the routes toward Volcanoes National Park and Nyungwe Forest. For most travellers that means fast, reliable LTE across Kigali and the main roads, with 3G filling in some of the more remote corners.
Kigali, Kimihurura, Kacyiru and Nyamirambo all have solid 4G, and the RN1 east to Rwamagana and the RN3 west to Musanze and Gisenyi or Rubavu on Lake Kivu hold steady 4G through almost the whole route. Be realistic about the wild spots though: signal thins as you climb toward the gorilla tracking sectors, Nyungwe drops to 3G near Uwinka and cuts out in deep forest, and Akagera's northern section toward Lake Ihema is patchy.
After you buy, you get a confirmation email with your eSIM details within minutes, including a QR code. Install the profile on your home Wi-Fi before you fly, then simply scan the QR code to add the line. Activation is automatic: the eSIM activates on arrival in Rwanda, so the MTN Rwanda line is on before you reach the visa counter. Coming overland from Uganda, Tanzania or the DRC, it picks up on the first tower past the border post.
Most modern smartphones are fully compatible with Blikst eSIMs, though a few exceptions exist, so check our detailed compatibility list to confirm your device works. As a quick check, on iPhone go to Settings, General, About and look for an EID number; on Android look in your network or SIM settings for an eSIM option. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. If those boxes are ticked, you are good to go.
It depends on your trip. A three-day Kigali and Genocide Memorial or Nyamata visit works on 1 to 3 GB. A one-week trip adding Volcanoes National Park for gorilla tracking and a Lake Kivu stop wants about 5 GB. For the Rwandan leg of a two-week overland, 10 GB is plenty, and a month-long research or NGO stay fits 20 GB comfortably. Data tends to go further here, as the network is fast enough to get things done and put the phone away.
Yes, tethering and hotspot are supported, so you can share your connection with a laptop, tablet or a travel companion's phone. That is handy in a lodge or vehicle where one person has the eSIM and others need to get online for maps or WhatsApp. Just remember that shared use eats through your allowance faster, and that coverage follows MTN's network, so a hotspot will only be as strong as the signal where you are.
This is a data-only plan, so it does not come with a Rwandan phone number for traditional calls or SMS. In practice that is rarely an issue here, because WhatsApp is the backbone of tour-operator, lodge and gorilla-tracking logistics, and it handles calls and messages over data. Because an eSIM is a separate digital line, you can leave your physical home SIM in the phone to keep your usual number for anything important.
International roaming is typically 10 to 12 dollars a day, which adds up fast over a trip. Rwanda is also one of the easier countries to buy a local SIM in, with the MTN shop at Kigali International registering you in a few minutes against your passport. The Blikst eSIM saves you that queue and lets you land already online, which matters on a night arrival when sorting a Yego Cab quickly is the difference between a short walk to the curb and a long wait.
