Why use an eSIM in Sierra Leone
- Cheaper than roaming

- Working the moment you land
- No hunting for a shop, no passport registration, no airport queue at midnight.
- Your number stays yours
- Dual SIM keeps calls, texts, and WhatsApp on your home line while data rides on Jelly.

Sierra Leone eSIM questions
When does my Sierra Leone plan start counting?
Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Sierra Leone, not when you buy it. Installing early costs you nothing.
Can I make calls in Sierra Leone?
Jelly plans are data plans. Calls work over WhatsApp, FaceTime, or any app you already use, and your home number stays reachable on your other SIM.
Can I tether a laptop in Sierra Leone?
Yes on most compatible phones. Tethering uses data quickly, so pick a larger plan if a laptop is coming with you.
What if I run out of data in Sierra Leone?
Top up from your dashboard. The top up applies to the eSIM already installed, so there is nothing new to scan.
