Brazzaville, the capital, sits across the Congo River from Kinshasa — the two capitals are the world's closest pair separated by an international border. The Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park shelters forest gorillas and elephants in remote rainforest.

Questions about Republic of Congo
Does Flysimio work in the Republic of Congo?
Yes in Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire. MTN Congo provides 4G in both cities. The northern rainforest and Nouabalé-Ndoki park are off-grid — satellite phones are used by research stations and eco-lodges.
What is the difference between Congo and DR Congo?
The Republic of Congo (Congo-Brazzaville, CG) is the smaller, French-colonial western nation. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo, Kinshasa, CD) is the much larger country across the river. They are separate countries with separate governments, currencies, and eSIM roaming zones.
Can I see gorillas in Congo?
Yes. The Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in northern Congo is one of the best places in Central Africa to observe western lowland gorillas in a near-pristine forest. Access requires a dedicated expedition from Ouesso, with limited visitor numbers.
What currency does Congo (Brazzaville) use?
The Central African CFA franc (XAF), pegged to the Euro and shared with Gabon, Cameroon, and three other Central African nations.
Is Brazzaville safe?
Brazzaville is generally stable today after past conflict, but exercise normal urban precautions. The city's Poto-Poto market area, Plateau district, and the riverfront area are the main visitor zones.
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.
