Each Checkout link opens payment with that plan selected: only the email address and payment remain.

## How it works

1. Choose a plan and pay on the product page (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or crypto).
2. The eSIM QR code arrives by email; install it before you travel (Settings > Mobile/Cellular > Add eSIM).
3. On arrival, select the eSIM for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it. Your own SIM stays in the phone for calls and SMS.

Data-only: the eSIM has no phone number. Requires an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone.

## Al-Madar, not Libyana

Most people in Libya are on Libyana; this eSIM uses the smaller state-owned network, Al-Madar, on 4G. It cannot switch to Libyana, so where only Libyana has signal you will be without data.

Al-Madar's coverage is best along the coast, in Tripoli, Benghazi, Misrata and the other cities. Reports on the south - around Sabha, Ubari and Ghat - differ, but coverage there is limited and in places absent, so do not count on it away from the coast.

## Travel advice, power cuts and outages

The UK advises against all travel to most of Libya and against all but essential travel to Tripoli, Benghazi, Misrata and a few other areas (updated 21 July 2026); Canada advises avoiding all travel. If you are going anyway, register with your government's travel registration service, where it has one.

Long power cuts hit Tripoli and western Libya in summer 2026, and internet access in Tripoli was disrupted for hours during unrest in May 2025. Carry a power bank, and keep addresses and contacts offline.

## Fixed plans only, or a local SIM

There are no unlimited plans for Libya: you choose 1 GB for 7 days, 3 GB for 15 days, or 5 GB or 10 GB for 30 days. The eSIM is data-only, with no Libyan number. The alternative is a local SIM, which means registering in person with your passport at a Libyana or Al-Madar shop.

## FAQ

### Can people in Libya call me on this eSIM?

Not on a phone number - it has none. They can reach you over WhatsApp or other internet calling while you have Al-Madar signal; for a Libyan number, you need a local SIM.

### Is there 5G in Libya?

Only on a limited scale in parts of Tripoli. This eSIM uses Al-Madar's 4G.
