What network a travel eSIM actually gets you
A seller’s product page carries one badge for the whole catalogue. The generation is written per operator, so it can be answered per country instead — and the interesting number is not how many countries reach 5G. It is the 4 that are still 3G only, which you would otherwise discover after landing.
80 countries where the profile reaches 5G
120 where it stops at 4G — enough for maps, calls and video
4 still 3G only, and 3G is being switched off worldwide
The 4 to know about before you book
3G networks are being retired country by country. Where the profile has nothing else to fall back on, a shutdown does not slow the connection down — it ends it. These three carry no 4G in their specification:
| Country | Network | Plans |
|---|---|---|
| Central African Republic | Orange | see the country page for the current list |
| Eswatini | MTN | see the country page for the current list |
| Ghana | AT(AirtelTigo), AT | see the country page for the current list |
| Lesotho | Vodacom | see the country page for the current list |
This is what the operator specification records, not a claim about every mast in the country. A phone that finds nothing else will still roam onto whatever the local network offers it — but the plan you bought is written against 3G.
Where 5G depends on which plan you pick
In these 2 the catalogue carries more than one operator and only some of them are 5G. The country is listed as 5G below, but the profile you buy decides it — the country page names the operator on each plan.
