No. This is a major advantage. Buying a physical local SIM card in Bissau requires visiting an Orange or MTN shop, navigating the language barrier (Portuguese/Creole), and going through a mandatory passport registration process. Our eSIM is a roaming plan that bypasses all this bureaucracy. You can install it before you fly and be connected instantly.
