Hello, traveler.
The Central African Republic (CAR) is a landlocked equatorial nation with extraordinary wildlife — the Dzanga-Sangha rainforest reserve hosts the world's greatest concentration of western lowland gorillas, forest elephants, and the rare bongo antelope. Bangui is the capital. Despite ongoing political instability and humanitarian crisis, CAR's natural resources are unparalleled in Central Africa.

Questions about Central African Republic
Is the CAR safe to visit?
No — the Central African Republic is under "do not travel" advisories from most Western governments due to ongoing armed conflict between multiple factions, a humanitarian crisis, and extensive areas of armed group control. Even Bangui has experienced attacks. The Dzanga-Sangha is accessible only through specialised conservation-linked operators with extensive security arrangements.
What is Dzanga Bai?
Dzanga Bai is a forest clearing in the Dzanga-Sangha reserve where over 100 forest elephants gather daily to drink mineralised water. It's considered one of the world's greatest wildlife spectacles and one of the last safe refuges for forest elephants.
Does Flysimio work in CAR?
Limited connectivity is available in Bangui. Outside the capital, infrastructure is very limited. Dzanga-Sangha has no mobile coverage.
What currency does CAR use?
The Central African CFA franc (XAF), shared with Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, Chad, and Equatorial Guinea.
What languages are spoken in CAR?
Sango is the national language spoken by most of the population as a trade language. French is the official government language. Over 70 indigenous languages are spoken, reflecting the country's extraordinary ethnic diversity.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of a physical card, you scan a QR code and your plan installs instantly — no SIM tray needed.
Is my phone eSIM-compatible?
iPhone XS (2018) and newer, most Android flagships from 2020+, and all Samsung Galaxy S21+ devices support eSIM. Check our compatibility page for the full device list.
How do I install the eSIM?
After purchase, we email a QR code. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Scan QR Code. On Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. The whole process takes under 60 seconds.
Can I keep my regular SIM while using this eSIM?
Yes. Most phones support dual SIM (physical + eSIM). Keep your home number for calls and SMS — use Flysimio for data abroad. You control which SIM handles what in your phone Settings.
Does the eSIM include a hotspot (tethering)?
Yes, all Flysimio plans include mobile hotspot at no extra charge. Share your data connection with laptops, tablets, or other devices freely.
What happens when my data runs out?
You can top up data from your account dashboard at any time. Top-ups are applied instantly — no need to buy a new eSIM or wait.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. We offer a full refund within 14 days of purchase. Contact contact@flysimio.com with your order number.
How long is the eSIM valid for?
You have 6 months from your purchase date to activate the eSIM. Once activated, the plan validity period (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) begins counting down.
Will the eSIM work at the airport when I land?
Yes — as long as you installed the eSIM before your flight, it activates automatically when your phone connects to a local network on landing. No Wi-Fi required for activation.
What if the QR code doesn't scan?
If the QR code won't scan, you can enter the activation code manually — we include both in the email. You can also contact our 24/7 support team and we'll resend or manually provision your eSIM.
