Sudan eSIM by Trip Length: Picks at 7, 14 and 30 Days (2026)
A HelloRoam e SIM in Sudan attaches to Zain, 1 operator on one published list. A phone can attach to any of them: Zain. The order on the list is alphabetical, so the first name is not a first choice, and the list carries no speed figure.

The plan that wins at each trip length in Sudan
Each length sets its unlimited tier beside one fixed tier.
| Trip length | Unlimited tier | Per day | Fixed tier | Lower price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 days | Not listed | - | 3GB $23.05 | Fixed tier |
| 7 days | Not listed | - | 5GB $38.40 | Fixed tier |
| 14 days | Not listed | - | 5GB $38.40 | Fixed tier |
| 30 days | Not listed | - | 5GB $38.40 | Fixed tier |
Tier prices are HelloRoam's catalogue prices, fetched 29 Oct 2026. Each rival prices its own tiers separately. Check that a fixed tier's validity covers your dates before you buy it.
How the picks are built
Each row reads two prices straight from the catalogue: the unlimited tier of that exact length and one fixed tier. We never multiply a day rate to make a price, and we never estimate how much data you will use. You know your own phone habits, so the verdicts say “that fits in” a volume and leave the call to you.

Airalo closes at 14 days. Airalo publishes support in 12 languages, ahead of every other count published on this table.
Entry rates are each provider's own cheapest published rate, not a rate specific to Sudan. Refund windows come from each provider's refund policy. Support channels and language counts come from each provider's contact page. Nothing in this table is a score we made up.

The 30-day pick
No 30-day unlimited tier is listed for Sudan. The 5GB tier costs $38.40.
No unlimited tier listed
The catalogue lists no unlimited tier for Sudan, so a long stay runs on fixed tiers. The largest is 5GB at $38.40. Buy a second one when it runs out.
Refund window and support on a long booking
Long stays get booked early, and dates move. HelloRoam and Holafly hold the refund window open 180 days on unused plans. Airalo closes at 14 days, so a plan bought two months before departure is past its window before the trip starts. An eSIM that fails on arrival needs a channel that is open. HelloRoam and Holafly list round-the-clock support. HelloRoam's support replies in your own language and Holafly's runs in 10 languages.

Who sells a multi-country plan
HelloRoam's largest multi-country plan covers 127 destinations on one eSIM and Airalo's covers 130. Saily, Nomad, and Holafly also sell regional or global plans, with no destination count on record here. Crossing three or more borders on single-country plans means buying a separate plan in each country and switching profiles at each one, so check that every stop sits on one plan before you buy.

FAQ
Sudan trip planning questions
Q1Which eSIM plan fits a weekend trip to Sudan?
Heading to Sudan for a long weekend? Light data use (maps and messaging) runs about 1.5GB over 3 days on Zain SD's 4G LTE network, which the 3GB at $23.05 covers. A moderate user using social media and navigation needs 4 to 5GB, so go with the 5GB at $38.40. Heavy users streaming or video-calling need 10GB or more; buy the largest fixed plan available. For a typical weekend traveler, the 5GB at $38.40 fits most weekend travelers without overpaying for unused data.
Q2How does eSIM cost change for 7 vs 14 vs 30 days in Sudan?
Longer trips to Sudan cost less per day because bigger plans spread the price across more days. 7 days: 5GB plan at $38.40 total ($5.49/day). 14 days: 5GB plan at $38.40 total ($2.74/day). 30 days: 5GB fixed plan at $1.28/day. The 14-day bracket balances daily rate and flexibility for most travelers visiting Sudan.
Q3Can I top up or extend my eSIM mid-trip in Sudan?
You can top up your Sudan eSIM through any of the five provider apps while traveling. Airalo lets you buy additional data through the app in real time, and the top-up lands on the eSIM profile already installed. Saily and Nomad both support fixed-data top-ups with no reinstallation. A top-up of 1GB costs $8.64, the same as buying a new plan. Buying a larger plan upfront is cheaper per GB than topping up, but the option is always available if you underestimate your usage.
Q4Does eSIM work in Sudan?
Yes, eSIMs work in Sudan. The network section on this page lists the local operators for Sudan; the list does not say which one a phone joins. Google Pixel 3 and later, iPhone XR and later, and Samsung Galaxy S21 and later all work. Download your eSIM profile before departure so you connect the moment your plane touches down in Sudan.
Q5Does unused Sudan eSIM data roll over to the next trip?
No, unused data does not roll over. Once your Sudan eSIM plan expires, any remaining gigabytes are lost. Buy a plan that matches your actual trip length, not a larger buffer. The 5 GB Sudan plan at $38.40 lasts 30 days from activation; data left when it ends does not carry over. If you change plans before installing, HelloRoam refunds an unactivated eSIM for 180 days, the same window Holafly gives unused plans, against 14 days at Airalo.
Q6How many days of data does a typical Sudan trip use?
Most travelers in Sudan use 1 to 2GB per day for navigation, messaging, and social media. A 7-day trip needs 7 to 14GB; a 14-day trip needs 14 to 21GB. The 5GB plan at $38.40 fits a week-long trip.
Q7Is Sudan a good destination for eSIM coverage in Africa?
The network section on this page lists the local operators for Sudan; the list does not say which one a phone joins. This site holds no coverage map and runs no speed tests, so it grades no city or rural coverage. Check the network section before choosing a plan for off-the-beaten-path itineraries.
Q8Is a 7-day or 14-day Sudan eSIM plan better value?
Your daily data cost in Sudan shrinks when you commit to a longer plan. The largest Sudan plan, 5 GB at $38.40, lasts about 3 days at 1.5 GB a day, short of a 7-day or a 14-day stay.
Q9What 4G LTE coverage can I expect on a full Sudan itinerary?
The network section on this page lists the local operators for Sudan; the list does not say which one a phone joins. The one operator on that list carries no 5G label. A 5G label on that list is a technology label, not a speed. For a full-country itinerary, check the operator list before finalizing your plan.
Q10How do I choose an eSIM plan for Sudan?
Estimate 1.5GB per day for typical travel use. Plans for Sudan start at $8.64 for 1GB. Pick the plan that covers your full trip length so you do not run out mid-stay. If your trip is shorter than the plan window, the remaining days simply expire.
