Togo eSIM plansBuy online, install in one tap, land connected · 2026
Lomé is one of the few capitals that sits right on a border, and Togo's international airport is only a short drive from the city centre, with flights from Paris, Addis Ababa, Casablanca, Abidjan, and Accra. Arrivals are relaxed but the SIM counters keep short hours, so switching on a phone that already works means you can message your driver, confirm your hotel, and check the exchange rate before you've left the terminal.
eSIM in Togo
Your Togo eSIM connects to 1 mobile networks, automatically switching to the strongest signal — with speeds up to 5G.
Togo is small enough to see in a week and varied enough to keep you moving. Guesthouses in Kpalimé confirm hikes to the waterfalls over WhatsApp, drivers for the long road north to Kara and the Koutammakou tata houses send updates by message, and a live map makes the shared-taxi routes and the beach road east to Togoville and Lake Togo far less of a guess. In Lomé, data turns the Grand Marché and the moto-taxis into something you can navigate rather than negotiate.
A Togo eSIM saves you the hunt for a phone shop. Buy online before you fly, tap the install link in your email and your phone sets the eSIM up itself — the QR code is there as a backup — and it connects when you land. The plan is data-only, with no phone number attached: WhatsApp, Messenger, and email carry on exactly as they do at home.

Networks & coverage in Togo
The real networks your Lumbus eSIM connects to in Togo.
Moov
Your eSIM for Togo connects to Moov, with 5G as the top speed on supported devices. There's nothing to configure — your phone reads the settings from the eSIM and locks onto the signal on its own when you land. Coverage is good in Lomé and along the coast and the main north-south road through Atakpamé, Sokodé, and Kara; it thins out in the Kpalimé hills and around the Koutammakou villages, where guesthouses rely on their own Wi-Fi.

Staying connected in Togo
Practical advice for using mobile data in Togo.
Install before you travel
Set the eSIM up at home over Wi-Fi — tap the one-tap install link in your email and your phone does the rest, with the QR code as a backup. You're online as soon as you land in Lomé, ready to find your driver or book a ride into town.
Apply for your visa online before you go
Togo issues visas through an online application for most nationalities, and you'll want the approval on your phone and a printed copy when you arrive. Check the current process for your passport before you fly, and carry your yellow fever certificate — it is checked at the border.
Cash in CFA francs goes a long way
Togo uses the West African CFA franc, which is pegged to the euro. Cards work at larger hotels and a few supermarkets in Lomé, but markets, shared taxis, guesthouses, and everything outside the capital run on cash. Withdraw from ATMs in Lomé or Kara before heading into the hills.
Give the road north a full day
The national road from Lomé to Kara and Dapaong is tarred but busy with trucks, and the sections through the hills are slow. Leave early, avoid driving after dark, and use a live map to watch for checkpoints and fuel stops. Shared taxis and buses are cheap and frequent if you'd rather not drive.
Ask before photographing people and ceremonies
Markets, voodoo shrines, and the Koutammakou villages are living places, not exhibits. Ask permission before taking pictures, expect to pay a small fee at shrines and the fetish market, and go with a local guide in Kpalimé and Koutammakou — they open doors that a map can't.
