Somalia's mobile infrastructure supports 3G and 4G/LTE networks operated by Hormuud, Somtel, and Telesom, primarily on bands B3 (1800 MHz) and B8 (900 MHz). A travel eSIM will connect to these networks on compatible devices, though connectivity options are limited overall and roaming charges tend to be expensive. Local eSIM availability is currently being verified.
Given the limited roaming options and high costs, a regional or global travel eSIM may be the most practical choice for visitors. Coverage outside main towns can be sparse, so it is advisable to verify connectivity in your specific destination before relying on mobile service. Check directly with your eSIM provider for current roaming rates and coverage details.
