Tunisia eSIM with Calls & Phone Number

You get an eSIM for Tunisia by buying it on this page and setting it up before you fly. The email with the link and QR code arrives within minutes, so you scan it at home on Wi-Fi and the profile sits next to your usual SIM. After landing in Tunis or Enfidha you switch data roaming on for it and you are online.

Yes, Tunisia has eSIM and it works there. An eSIM for Tunisia is a digital SIM card built into your phone. Ooredoo Tunisie and Tunisie Telecom both carry visiting profiles, so your phone registers as a roaming device once you land. It needs eSIM support and must not be carrier-locked. Along the coast and in the cities the network is dense, and the plan runs on 4G.

An eSIM for Tunisia starts at 30,95€; the final price depends on the data size and how many days you need, and the price table above on this page lists each plan with the current amount in your own currency. You pay once by card before you leave, so nothing is charged later and there is no contract to end.

No, you don't get a Tunisian +216 number. This plan carries a French number starting +33, with calls and texts included on it, but it is not a Tunisian number. Anything that insists on a +216 line at sign-up will turn it down, while for calling home, a hotel or a taxi the +33 line does the job.

You get a French number and not a Tunisian one because the line comes from Orange Worldwide, a French operator, and registers as a guest on Ooredoo Tunisie or Tunisie Telecom once you're there. It also means the profile is not limited to Tunisia, since it keeps working across many other destinations on the same trip.

Calls home, included with this plan, come out of the international minutes, so nothing is billed per minute on top of what you paid. How many minutes and texts you get depends on the plan size you pick, and the price table above on this page shows what each one carries. Talking over WhatsApp uses the data instead.

The network you'll be on in Tunisia is Ooredoo Tunisie or Tunisie Telecom, whichever carries better where you are, and your phone registers by itself with nothing to enter by hand. Leave network selection on automatic here: picking an operator manually in Tunisia can leave you with no connection at all, which is not the case everywhere.

No, you don't have to register or show it. A local prepaid card means the shop takes your passport and registers the line in your name, whereas this eSIM runs as a guest on the Tunisian networks with no form and no ID details handed over. It is bought and installed before you arrive, so nothing waits for you at a counter.

Even the smallest pack here is generous enough to cover whatever data you need for Tunisia, so most travellers are covered. Maps between Tunis, Sousse and Djerba plus messenger run on roughly 100 to 200 MB a day. Photos and clips from Sidi Bou Said or the desert push that toward 1 GB. The real weight comes from video calls home, streaming and sharing a hotspot with a laptop.

The eSIM that's best for Tunisia comes down to whether you need to be reachable by phone. This one runs on Orange Worldwide and includes calls, texts and your own number, but that number has a +33 French dialling code rather than a Tunisian one, so people calling you dial abroad. If you only need data, the plain Tunisia data eSIM is simpler. Otherwise choose by volume and days.

Yes. Because you get a real phone number, SMS verification codes arrive directly on your phone — so you can sign up for or verify WhatsApp, Telegram, banking apps and almost any service. No extra app required.

No. This is a real eSIM with a real number that works natively on your phone — calls use your normal dialer and texts land in your phone's Messages app. The Simbye app is optional and only used to manage your plan.

Yes. You can make and receive calls and SMS with your included number — just like a local SIM, with no contract and no roaming bills. International calls are included as a set number of minutes depending on your plan.
