Togo is a narrow West African nation bordered by Ghana, Benin, Burkina Faso, and the Gulf of Guinea. Its capital Lomé is a growing regional trade hub with a well-developed urban area. The country's mobile landscape is dominated by two operators: Yas Togo (formerly Togocom) — the national leader and pioneer of 5G in the region — and Moov Africa Togo, a subsidiary of Maroc Telecom offering 2G, 3G, and 4G. Most international travel eSIMs connect via Moov Africa Togo's 4G infrastructure. No unlimited data eSIM plans are currently available for Togo — travelers should estimate usage carefully. Plans start from around $4 for 1 GB.
A travel eSIM is the fastest way to get connected — no SIM shop, no roaming charges, and your home number stays active.

Best eSIM for Togo by Traveler Type
Not sure which plan to pick? Here's what we recommend based on your travel style:
Lomé city stay
Lomé has solid 4G via Yas Togo and Moov Africa. A 1–2 GB plan for 7 days covers navigation, messaging, and light browsing in the city — the Grand Marché, the beach boulevard, and central neighborhoods are all well-covered.
Kpalimé & the green hills
Kpalimé and the surrounding highlands have basic coverage in town, but forested areas and waterfalls may have weak signal. Download offline maps of hiking trails before leaving Lomé.
Northern Togo (Kara, Tamberma Valley)
Coverage in northern Togo is limited outside main towns. For the Tamberma Valley UNESCO site, expect intermittent 3G at best. Prepare offline maps and accommodation details in advance — don't rely on live navigation.
West Africa regional trip
If traveling across Ghana, Benin, and Togo, a regional Africa eSIM covering multiple countries may be more cost-effective than individual country plans — check the multi-country filters in our comparison.
Mobile Networks & 4G/5G Coverage in Togo
Togo has 2 major mobile operators: Yas Togo, Moov Africa Togo. All offer nationwide 4G coverage, with 5G now available in major cities.
4G is available in Lomé and major urban centers. Coverage diminishes significantly in rural and northern areas. Yas Togo is rolling out 5G as a regional first, currently limited to Lomé. Travelers heading to the Tamberma Valley, Kpalimé hills, or northern Togo should expect 3G or Edge connectivity outside towns.
Most travel eSIM providers use Yas Togo or Moov Africa Togo infrastructure in Togo — both consistently ranked among the best networks in the region. You'll get strong, reliable signal in all major tourist areas.
Tips for Using Your eSIM in Togo
📶 No unlimited plans in Togo
Unlike many destinations, no eSIM provider currently offers unlimited data for Togo. Plan your data budget carefully.
- 1 GB covers ~10 hours of light browsing, Google Maps navigation, and messaging
- 3 GB is comfortable for a week of typical tourist use
- Download offline maps (Google Maps or Maps.me) for all areas you plan to visit
🌐 Internet in Lomé vs. upcountry
Urban connectivity in Lomé is reliable — but coverage quality drops sharply outside the capital and major towns.
- Lomé: consistent 4G throughout the city
- Kpalimé, Atakpamé, Sokodé: 3G/4G in town centers only
- Remote areas (Tamberma Valley, northern highlands): expect 2G or no signal
💡 Border crossings — Ghana & Benin
Togo borders Ghana (west) and Benin (east). If crossing by land, your Togo eSIM will stop working — arrange a regional or separate eSIM for neighboring countries.
- The Lomé–Aflao crossing to Ghana is very busy — activate Ghana data before crossing
- Regional Africa eSIMs can cover both Togo and Ghana simultaneously
- Benin's border at Hillacondji is straightforward — same advice applies
💰 Price per GB in Togo
Togo eSIM plans are pricier per GB than more competitive markets like Southeast Asia or Europe, reflecting limited local infrastructure.
- Budget providers: $4–7 per GB (GoMoWorld, Tourist eSIM, Yatelo)
- Mid-range: $8–12 per GB (Airalo, Saily, ESIM.DOG)
