Qué pasa cuando se acaban tus GB

Un plan de GB es una cantidad fija de datos. Cuando se agota, los datos de esa eSIM se detienen y no se cobra nada automáticamente, pero puedes recargar la misma eSIM sin un código QR nuevo y comprobar lo que queda en cualquier momento desde la página de tu pedido.

Cómo comprobar tus datos y recargar

Cuántos datos necesitas realmente

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.

Al aterrizar

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.

Dónde cambia la cobertura

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.

Ciudades sobre las que preguntan los viajeros

  • Bujumbura: The largest city, on the lake, and the hub for flights and banks.
  • Gitega: The political capital, inland on the central plateau.
  • Rumonge: A southern lakeside town, on the way to beaches and jetties.
  • Ngozi: A northern town in the highland coffee-growing area.
  • Kibira forest: Montane rainforest in the north-west, with virtually no signal.

Preguntas frecuentes

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.

¿Cuándo empieza a contar los días una eSIM de Burundi?+

La mayoría de los planes aquí empiezan cuando el teléfono se conecta por primera vez a una red en el destino, así que puedes instalarlo con antelación en casa y activarlo al aterrizar. Cada página de plan indica su propia regla.

¿Tengo que quitar mi SIM habitual?+

No. La eSIM es una segunda línea, así que conservas tu número habitual para los SMS OTP. Desactiva el roaming de datos en la línea habitual y define la eSIM como línea de datos.
