Sklandu, paprasta, tiesiog veikia. Naudokite dar kartą.
Greitas įjungimas ir stabili jungtis. Labai patogu 🌟 Naudojau kelionės Madeiroje metu.
Puikus palaikymas, gavau eSIM Jungtinei Karalystei. Problemų nebuvo.
Anksčiau turėjau 3 mobiliuosius, bet interneto ryšys nebuvo geriausias, todėl pradėjau naudotis Blikst ir man tai labai naudinga
It runs on Orange RDC, one of the Democratic Republic of the Congo's main operators, giving you 3G and 4G speeds. There's 4G in the urban cores of the bigger cities and 3G filling in elsewhere. One thing worth knowing: this is the Orange RDC network only. The DRC and the neighbouring Republic of the Congo share a name and a river but not a network, so a trip across to Brazzaville needs a separate eSIM.
Orange RDC works best in the urban cores: Kinshasa (Gombe, Lingwala, Kintambo and the centre), Lubumbashi, Goma, Bukavu, Kisangani and Mbuji-Mayi all have 4G. The RN1 toll road from Kinshasa to Matadi has coverage along much of the route, and Goma has signal in town and at the main Virunga park entry. Be honest with yourself about the gaps, though: gorilla-tracking trails inside Virunga drop offline, and the rainforest basin, Salonga, the Ituri and most of the Congo River between ports are almost entirely without signal.
Right after you buy, you'll get a confirmation email with your eSIM details, usually within minutes. Install the profile by scanning the QR code while you're still on home Wi-Fi before you fly, because N'djili airport Wi-Fi is limited. Activation is automatic: the Orange line registers the moment a DRC tower sees it, so just switch off airplane mode after you land at Kinshasa, Lubumbashi or Goma. No French-language kiosk registration, and no queue.
Most modern smartphones work fully with Blikst eSIMs, though a few exceptions exist, so it's worth checking our detailed compatibility list before you buy. To confirm yourself, on an iPhone go to Settings, General, About and look for an EID number; on Android check the network or SIM settings. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. An eSIM is a separate digital line, so your usual physical SIM and home number can stay in the phone alongside it.
It depends on the trip. A business week in Kinshasa or Lubumbashi with hotel Wi-Fi at night runs on 3 to 5 GB. A Virunga gorilla trip based in Goma, with offline time during the tracking itself, fits into about 5 GB. Two-week multi-city itineraries suit around 10 GB, and long-stay NGO, journalism or mining work with regular video calls should budget 20 GB or more. River expeditions have long offline stretches, so they often use less than you'd expect.
Yes, tethering and hotspot are supported, so you can share your connection with a laptop, tablet or a colleague's phone. That's handy in the field for NGO logistics or sending files back from a hotel. Bear in mind you're on Orange RDC's 3G and 4G network, so speeds and reliability follow the coverage map: solid in the urban cores, thinner in the provinces and effectively gone in the rainforest basin and on most Virunga trails.
This is a data plan, so it doesn't come with a local Congolese phone number for traditional calls or SMS. In practice that's no problem in the DRC, where WhatsApp is the default for nearly everything: hotel pickups, fixer and driver coordination, NGO logistics and business contacts, often via voice notes in French, Lingala or Swahili. You can call and message over the internet using apps like WhatsApp or FaceTime, and because the eSIM is a separate line, your home SIM and number stay active in the phone.
Generally, yes. Standard US and European roaming to the DRC is typically over 15 dollars a day where it's supported at all. A local Orange, Vodacom or Airtel SIM means passport registration and real-name verification, which can take an hour or more in Kinshasa. A Blikst plan sits well below roaming rates, lands directly on Orange's network, and lets you skip the registration queue entirely so you're connected the moment you step off the plane.
