Buying a SIM Card in Equatorial Guinea 🇬🇶 - 10 Things to Know About Getesa & Muni (in English)

Equatorial Guinea is known for having one of the highest mobile data speeds in Africa and in the world. However, getting an Equatorial Guinean SIM card will be cheaper than international roaming in the country. Here is all you need to know about buying a SIM card in Equatorial Guinea!

For some reason, mobile internet is criminally expensive in Equatorial Guinea. Moreover, speeds are embarrassingly slow as well.

This is surprising because Equatorial Guinea is connected to several submarine cables. African countries with direct access to submarine cables have, on average, lower mobile data rates compared to landlocked countries.

What is even sadder is that the domestic broadband infrastructure is poor, meaning that those living in rural Equatorial Guinea have no or awful mobile coverage.

Even with all of this said, getting an Equatorial Guinean SIM card will probably be cheaper than international roaming.

Wiz brother I will choose telco mobile app

The reason why network quality is slow and mobile data prices are so expensive is because the company are partly national. We don't have a multinational like orange or others like for example in our neightbouring countries. It's not because they don't want to invest but because in strategic sectors of EG like telecomunications for example there must be national capital. The government make so much investment in Muni and Getesa and want to get benefits from that investment. Is not like a multinational that bring their know how and capital and can adjust the price. There are advantages and disanvantages to that from where you look at it, but Don't worry we will get there.
