    Airtel DR Congo - 3G and 4G Data in Major Cities

    Your BitJoy DR Congo eSIM connects to Airtel, one of the country's main mobile operators, on 3G and 4G. The most consistent 4G is in central Kinshasa, around Gombe and the business districts, and in Lubumbashi, with slower 3G in smaller towns and outer suburbs. Traffic routes through Singapore, so apps and websites see a Singapore IP address rather than a Congolese one.

    Kinshasa, Lubumbashi and the East - Know the Coverage Limits

    Kinshasa and Lubumbashi city centres have the best mobile data. In the east, Goma and Bukavu town centres usually have a signal, often at 3G, and it fades quickly outside town toward Virunga or the Kivu highlands. Authorities have also switched off mobile and internet service in parts of the east during fighting, and no eSIM can connect while the local network is down.

    Plans for Aid, Media, Mining and Family Trips

    Most visitors to DR Congo travel for work or family: humanitarian and UN staff, journalists, mining and logistics teams around Lubumbashi, business visitors in Kinshasa, and Congolese diaspora returning home. Plans start at $8.49 for 1GB / 7 days for a short meeting trip and go up to 20GB / 30 days at $62.99 for a month-long assignment, plus an unlimited daily pass at $11.99 per day.

    Skip the SIM Kiosk Queue at N'djili Airport (FIH)

    A local SIM in DR Congo has to be registered with your original passport, often in a queue at the N'djili International Airport kiosks after a long flight. With BitJoy you install the eSIM by QR code before departure, then switch on data roaming after landing in Kinshasa and connect to Airtel in about 2 minutes. Fixed-data plans can be topped up if your stay runs longer.

    Hotspot - Share One Connection Across Your Team

    Every BitJoy DR Congo plan supports hotspot sharing at no extra cost. Connect a laptop for reports and video calls from a Kinshasa hotel, or share data with colleagues on a field visit when guesthouse wifi drops out. For teams sending photos, video or large files, the 10GB and 20GB 30-day plans or the daily pass give more room than the smaller trip plans.

    {"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Pay by Card, PayPal or Crypto Before You Fly"}]}]}

    Pay by Card, PayPal or Crypto Before You Fly

    Pay in USD by card, PayPal or crypto before departure, so there is no need to buy airtime or find a phone shop after arrival. Your QR code arrives by email straight after checkout. This suits organisations arranging connectivity for staff ahead of a deployment, and diaspora travellers who want data working the moment they land in Kinshasa to coordinate pickups with family.

      It activated quickly. I connected without any issues after receiving the QR code in a matter of minutes. The ability to pay with cryptocurrencies was also appreciated; the entire process went well. I had no trouble staying connected during my journey because of it. For hassle-free internet access, BitJoy is a great option if you're planning a trip soon!

      The activation process is not complicated, and it was done quickly by following the steps. The payment method is also flexible. I tried credit card and cryptocurrency payment, and both were completed smoothly, and the payment was immediate. When I arrived at the local area, I scanned the code to connect to the Internet, which is very convenient and very suitable for travel.

      I'm giving 4 stars because the installation guide didn't mention that I had to set up the APN manually, and support also didn't immediately suggest it. I had to do some troubleshooting myself. Other than that, so far so good. P.S. I used it in Turkey and the APN is 'isp.'

      I purchased data from BitJoy for my father. Data worked as promised by the team. My father didn't face any problem at Toronto airport.
