A short-stay plan for Democratic Republic of the Congo: 3 GB/day of data for 1 day, at $17.28. It is sized for a stopover, a weekend or a quick business trip, when a full-length plan would mostly go unused.
The allowance is 3 GB/day every day and refreshes daily, so a busy day does not eat into tomorrow — across 1 day that is up to 3 GB in all.
That is a generous allowance: enough to post videos, make regular video calls, or run your laptop off the phone as a hotspot for email and light work.
Roughly what each day's allowance covers, if you spend it all on one thing (each day):
| Maps | about 610 hours |
| Browsing | about 51 hours |
| Social | about 10 hours |
| Video calls | about 10 hours |
| SD video | about 4 hours |
Estimates only — real use depends on the app, the quality setting and the network. Downloading maps and playlists on Wi-Fi before you go stretches any plan much further.
Of the 13 plans we sell for Democratic Republic of the Congo, prices start at $2.61, so this one sits in the upper half.

Yes, with room to spare for video and photo sharing. It works out at about 3 GB a day, and the allowance refreshes every day.
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Democratic Republic of the Congo, not when you buy it. So you can buy and install it before you travel without the clock starting.
You get 3 GB/day each day for 1 day. The allowance refreshes daily, so unused data does not carry over, and a heavy day does not take anything from the next. Fair use: 1 Mbps.
Yes. This eSIM carries data only. Your usual SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts, and you choose which line uses mobile data.
No. It is a one-off purchase of $17.28. When the data or the 1 day run out, it simply ends — no card is kept on file to charge again.
Most iPhones from the XS onward and most recent Android flagships do, but the phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. On iPhone, look under Settings › General › About for "Digital SIM" or "Available SIM"; on Android, search Settings for "eSIM".
Buy the plan in the Go2Calls app and the eSIM is ready straight away. On your phone, add a new eSIM and scan the QR code the app shows you — on iPhone under Settings › Mobile Data › Add eSIM, on Android under Settings › Network › SIMs. When you arrive in Democratic Republic of the Congo, switch mobile data to the new eSIM and turn on data roaming for that line only. Your usual SIM keeps handling calls and texts.
