Botswana: Mobile Coverage & Carriers
ESIMBYCOUNTRY at checkout · See all codes →Botswana has three mobile network operators: Mascom, Orange, and beMobile (operated by BTC). These carriers have commercially launched 3G and 4G/LTE services, with 5G also commercially available in the country. The mobile infrastructure supports multiple radio generations, providing coverage across urban and some rural areas.
A roaming eSIM in Botswana is likely to connect using LTE bands B3 (1800 MHz) and B8 (900 MHz), as well as the 5G band n78 (3.5 GHz) where available. Some local carriers issue eSIMs, though detailed availability and coverage information should be verified directly with individual operators, as confidence in comprehensive service details remains low.
