How much is an eSIM for Nigeria? Plans compared
Updated:
Before travelling to Nigeria we compared eSIM prices from two providers: Airalo (15 plans, cheapest $7.50) and Holafly (unlimited data from $10.50 per day), as shown on both sites on 28 October 2026.
The Airalo eSIM for Nigeria runs on Airtel (5G), Glo (4G) and MTN (3G). On value, the cost per GB drops to $4.70 on the 10 GB for 7 days plan, against $7.50 on the smallest plan.
Before you buy
A common mistake on trips to Nigeria is buying more data than needed. Start with 3 GB for 7 days ($19) for a week and top up in the app later, or pick Holafly 7 days at $41.90 if you use a lot. Your phone must support eSIM.
