Was passiert, wenn Ihre GB aufgebraucht sind
Ein GB-Tarif ist ein festes Datenvolumen. Ist es aufgebraucht, stoppt die Datennutzung auf dieser eSIM und es wird nichts automatisch berechnet, aber Sie können dieselbe eSIM ohne neuen QR-Code aufladen und jederzeit auf Ihrer Bestellseite prüfen, was übrig ist.
Beispiel: noch reichlich übrig
4.1 GB übrig
Verbraucht 5.9 GB
Gesamt 10 GB
41% übrig
Beispiel: wird knapp

Wie viel Datenvolumen Sie tatsächlich brauchen
Roughly 500MB–1.5GB a day for maps, WhatsApp, translation and the odd photo upload. On days with video calls or a tethered laptop, budget closer to 2GB.
Nach der Landung
The only international airport is Melchior Ndadaye in Bujumbura (BJM), served mainly from East African hubs. Overland there are crossings to Rwanda in the north around Kanyaru, to Tanzania at Kobero in the east, and to the Democratic Republic of the Congo at Gatumba in the west near Uvira. Lake Tanganyika also carries boat traffic. Check visa conditions and the status of your intended crossing with official sources before you travel.
Wo sich die Abdeckung ändert
Bujumbura and Gitega work continuously inside the built-up areas, and secondary towns such as Ngozi and Rumonge are usable. It thins on the mountain roads between them, in the Kibira forest and Ruvubu park where you should assume no service for the day, and in lakeside villages set back from the main road. On Lake Tanganyika boats, reception fades in and out with the distance from shore. Download maps before leaving town each time.

Häufige Fragen
Do I need to arrange a visa for Burundi in advance?+
Check with the embassy or the official channel responsible for your country before you buy tickets, because the requirements vary by nationality and can change. Ask specifically about how to apply, the supporting documents, passport validity, and any vaccination certificate you must present on entry. Keep the paperwork both as a file and as a printout, because you may be asked for it at the border at a moment when you have no signal.
How long does Bujumbura to Gitega take?+
The distance is short but the road climbs onto the plateau in tight bends, so allow around two to three hours depending on road and weather conditions, and longer in heavy rain. Leave in the morning so you are not driving after dark. Signal drops in and out through the valleys along the way, so download the map beforehand and let the place you are staying know roughly when to expect you.
How do I pay for things, and do cards work?+
Burundian franc cash still runs daily life. Some larger hotels in Bujumbura accept cards, but ordinary shops, markets and short local journeys are cash. ATMs are concentrated in the bigger towns, so withdraw and break the money into smaller notes before heading out to the provinces, and keep a reserve for days when the banking system or the power supply has a problem.
How do power cuts affect staying connected?+
Outages happen and usually take the accommodation's Wi-Fi with them, while the mobile network often comes back first, so having data on the phone keeps you contactable. Carry at least one power bank, charge everything whenever the power is on, and keep documents, tickets and maps saved on the device so you are not depending on a connection during the hours when the electricity has not yet returned.
Wann beginnt eine Burundi-eSIM, Tage zu zählen?+
Die meisten Tarife hier beginnen, sobald sich das Telefon zum ersten Mal am Zielort mit einem Netz verbindet, sodass Sie zu Hause im Voraus installieren und nach der Landung einschalten können. Jede Tarifseite nennt ihre eigene Regel.
Muss ich meine Heimat-SIM entfernen?+
Nein. Die eSIM ist eine zweite Leitung, sodass Sie Ihre Heimatnummer für SMS-OTP behalten. Schalten Sie das Daten-Roaming auf der Heimatleitung aus und legen Sie die eSIM als Datenleitung fest.
