Sierra Leone: Mobile Coverage & Carriers
ESIMBYCOUNTRY at checkout · See all codes →Sierra Leone's mobile market is served by two primary operators: Orange and Africell. Both networks commercially offer 4G/LTE services to customers. Third-generation (3G) mobile technology is also commercially available in the country, though 5G services have not yet been launched.
Devices connecting to these networks typically operate on LTE bands B3 (1800 MHz) and B8 (900 MHz). Regarding eSIM availability from local carriers, information is currently being verified, and definitive details on whether Orange or Africell issue eSIMs remain uncertain at this time.
