Questions about Nigeria
Does Flysimio work in Lagos?
Yes. MTN Nigeria and Airtel provide excellent 4G LTE coverage in Lagos, including Victoria Island, Lekki, Ikeja, and the airport corridor. 5G is emerging in select areas.
What is NEPA and how does it affect my eSIM?
NEPA (National Electric Power Authority) refers to Nigeria's unreliable power grid. Outages are common — many businesses run on generators. Keep a power bank charged. Your eSIM doesn't need power to store its profile, but your phone does need charge to connect.
Is Lagos safe for visitors?
Lagos requires vigilance. Traffic on the Third Mainland Bridge and expressways can trap you in cars — prefer travel via Bolt or Uber over hired taxis, especially at night. Victoria Island and Lekki are more secure. Abuja is generally safer and more orderly.
What is Afrobeats?
Afrobeats is a contemporary West African music genre blending traditional rhythms with hip-hop, R&B, and electronic music. Artists like Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, and Tems have taken it global. Lagos's club scene is one of Africa's best.
What currency is used in Nigeria?
The Nigerian naira (NGN). USD and EUR can be exchanged at bureau de change outlets — avoid street changers. Many Lagos businesses in Victoria Island accept card payments.
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 7 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.
