Best eSIM for Tunisia in 2026: 6 providers compared
You are heading to Tunisia and want data the moment you land in Tunis, Monastir or Djerba, without paying your carrier's roaming: Tunisia sits outside the EU, so outside your plan. A travel eSIM installs before you leave, activates on arrival and leaves your usual SIM in place for calls.
We ran 6 providers through the same grid: price per GB, network used on the ground (Ooredoo, Tunisie Telecom, Orange), coverage from the coast to the Saharan south, reliability, support, how simple the app is and plan flexibility. The ranking first, then each offer in detail.

voilà eSIM: the best value eSIM for Tunisia
The Ooredoo network, the one that covers the country best, a price per GB (€1.21/GB) in the lower part of the comparison and human support at any hour. Esimzon stays cheaper per GB, if you accept a more minimal service.
How we ranked these eSIMs
Each eSIM is scored on six criteria, with the same weights for all. Price per GB and network coverage weigh the most: in Tunisia the network is excellent on the coast and in the cities, weaker as soon as you head down to Tozeur, Douz or the Sahara. The operator a provider picks therefore makes a real difference outside the tourist areas.
- Price per GB25 %
Real cost per gigabyte on each provider's cheapest plan, excluding promotions.
- Network coverage25 %
Signal in Tunis, on the coast (Hammamet, Sousse, Djerba) and in the Saharan south, not only in the cities.
- Reliability15 %
Connection stability, the provider's track record and transparency about the operator used.
- Support15 %
Channels, hours and response time when the eSIM will not activate.
- Activation and app10 %
How easy the install is, how readable the app is and usage tracking.
- Plan flexibility10 %
Choice of data amounts and durations, top-ups, unlimited option.
On these criteria, voilà eSIM comes out on top thanks to the Ooredoo network, a price per GB of €1.21/GB and human support available 24/7. Esimzon wins on price alone, the other four mostly bring unlimited or multi-country plans.
Scores are the opinion of the eSIMrat editorial team, based on the criteria above, not customer reviews. eSIMrat earns a commission on links to its partners, which does not affect the ranking.

Each Tunisia eSIM in detail
- 8.5/10

1. voilà eSIM
€1.21/GBOoredooData plans, 1 to 20 GBOoredoo network, human support 24/7
voilà eSIM runs on Ooredoo, Tunisia's largest network and the one with the best national coverage: 5G in Tunis and along the coast, solid 4G down to the southern towns. It is the network most travellers want on the ground.
The price per GB goes down to €1.21/GB, in the lower part of the comparison, for a value for money that is hard to beat on this network. Plans run from 1 to 20 GB over 7, 15 or 30 days, no commitment, with tethering included. The ESIMRAT code takes 5% off, see the voilà eSIM promo page.
The eSIM is simple to install and the app is easy to use: buy, install in two minutes before you leave, automatic activation when you land, usage tracking in the app. If anything goes wrong, human support answers 24/7, which no other provider in this ranking offers with a human team.
Pros
- Ooredoo network, the best national coverage
- Human support, 24/7
- Simple app, tethering included
Cons
- No unlimited plan
- Capped at 20 GB
- Esimzon stays cheaper per GB
- 7.6/10

2. Esimzon
€0.88/GBTunisie TelecomData plans, 1 to 15 GBThe lowest price per GB in the comparison
Esimzon is the cheapest per GB in this comparison, at €0.88/GB, on the Tunisie Telecom network, the historic operator: good coverage, solid in the south and in the smaller inland towns, a little less dense than Ooredoo on the coast.
Plans are data only, from 1 to 15 GB over 30 days, priced in dollars on its site (the euro follows the daily rate). Activation is by QR code, support is by email or chat in English, and the app stays basic: that is the trade-off for this price.
Pros
- Lowest price per GB in the ranking
- Tunisie Telecom, solid in the south
Cons
- English support, by email or chat
- Basic app, prices shown in dollars
- Capped at 15 GB
- 7.5/10

3. Ubigi
€1.50/GBLocal networksData plans and unlimitedTransatel (NTT group), top-up in the app
Ubigi is the eSIM brand of Transatel, part of the NTT group. The price per GB sits at €1.50/GB, in the upper half of the ranking. Ubigi does not name the Tunisian operator it uses on its country page, so we list it as local networks rather than guess.
The app lets you top up without reinstalling, prices are shown in euros, and a 15-day unlimited plan exists for heavy users. Support works by ticket, in English and French, with a response delay rather than an instant chat.
Pros
- Top-up from the app, prices in euros
- Unlimited option available
Cons
- Tunisian operator not stated up front
- Ticket support, no chat
- Price per GB in the upper half
- 7.4/10

4. Airalo
€1.40/GBOoredooData, multi-country and unlimited plansGlobal catalogue, operator shown
Airalo, the market pioneer, clearly states Ooredoo as its network for Tunisia, the same one as voilà eSIM. The price per GB comes out at €1.40/GB, above the top two in the ranking.
Airalo's real argument is its catalogue: Tunisia plans from 1 to 20 GB, unlimited billed per day, and regional plans if you chain Tunisia and Morocco on the same trip. The app is complete and lets you top up. Support, in English, is sometimes slow.
Pros
- Ooredoo network stated on every plan
- Regional and unlimited plans, top-up in the app
Cons
- Price per GB above the top two
- English support, sometimes slow
- 7.3/10

5. Yesim
€1.15/GBLocal networksDaily plans to unlimitedDaily plans, reusable eSIM
Yesim, a Swiss provider, stands out with its daily plans: a few hundred MB for one day, handy for a weekend or a stopover. That small plan is what gives it its price per GB of €1.15/GB. Over 30 days, plans run from 1 to 30 GB, plus unlimited.
The Yesim eSIM stays on your phone from one trip to the next: you buy a new plan without reinstalling. Yesim does not specify the Tunisian operator it uses on its country page, which lists Ooredoo, Orange and Tunisie Telecom without saying which one serves the eSIM. Chat support.
Pros
- Daily plans for a short stay
- Reusable eSIM across trips
Cons
- Tunisian operator not specified
- 30-day plans pricier per GB than the top two
- 7.2/10

6. Saily
€1.42/GBLocal networksData plans and unlimitedBy Nord Security, built-in web protection
Saily is Nord Security's eSIM, the company behind NordVPN. The price per GB sits at €1.42/GB, the highest in this comparison on a fixed-data plan. Saily does not name the Tunisian operator it uses on its country page.
The app is simple and ships with an ad and tracker blocker plus web protection: an argument if you use a lot of public wifi. Plans from 1 to 20 GB over 30 days, unlimited available, prices in euros, 24/7 chat in English.
Pros
- Built-in ad and tracker blocker
- 24/7 chat, prices in euros, unlimited available
Cons
- Highest price per GB in the ranking
- Tunisian operator not specified
- English-only support

eSIM or local SIM card in Tunisia?
A local SIM from Ooredoo, Orange or Tunisie Telecom is cheap on site, but it requires an ID, a visit to a shop and mandatory registration. A travel eSIM is ordered from home, installed before the flight and working when you land, with no queue at Tunis-Carthage or Enfidha airport.
It also costs less than your carrier's non-EU roaming, often billed per day or per MB. Every plan in the Tunisia comparator is ranked by price per GB, with the network used whenever the provider states it.
What to check on your phone before you leave
Your phone must be eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked: an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or newer, most Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. The full list is on our eSIM-compatible phones page.
Install the eSIM on wifi before you leave, keep your home SIM active for calls and texts, and switch mobile data to the eSIM once in Tunisia. Allow two to five minutes, nothing complicated.
