How to Buy Cheapest eSIM Data Plans in Nigeria
As the world becomes increasingly digital, staying connected on the go is no longer a luxury but a necessity. This is because the human nature in you is expected to come into play in socializing, which anchors on keeping in touch with loved ones and colleagues when you are away in another country. That can be through connection to the internet—via Whatsapp, Facetime, email, or other messaging platforms.
However, with the rising cost of mobile data, staying connected without spending so much is becoming increasingly challenging. That is where eSIM data plans come in – a cost-effective and convenient way to ensure internet access and communication with people.
What Are eSIM Data Plans?
eSIM data plans are cellular data plans designed for use with eSIM-compatible devices such as smartphones and tablets. In other words, they are data-only eSIMs specifically designed for data usage, enabling you to browse the internet, stream videos, use social media, and access other data-dependent applications.
Some of the features of eSIM data plans include:
- Data Allowance: eSIM plans offer various data allowances, ranging from a few GB to unlimited data.
- Validity Period: This is the duration the eSIM plan can be used—daily, seven days, 30 days, or 90 days.
- Data Speed: The speed at which data is transmitted, usually measured in Mbps (megabits per second) or Gbps (gigabits per second).
- Coverage: The geographic area in which the eSIM data plan is valid. For instance, you can only use the Asia eSIM data plan in countries like China and Taiwan. So, you cannot use the plan in Nigeria or countries outside the region.
Tips to Help You Purchase Cheapest eSIM Data Plans in Nigeria
1. Compare Prices
It is important to research different eSIM providers in Nigeria and compare their prices. Here, you may need to look for providers offering the best pricing with an excellent data plan. For instance, while you can find a France 3GB 30 days for $3.40, another eSIM provider may sell the same plan for $4.80.
2. Check Coverage
You must ensure that your preferred provider has good coverage in your destination country. For example, if you’re planning to travel from Nigeria to Santorini, Greece, for vacation, it is essential to confirm that the provider you’re using has an eSIM data plan for Greece.
3. Read Reviews
You may need to read what customers say about the eSIM provider to understand the data plans’ reliability and speed. This would either be a drive towards buying your eSIM data plan from the provider or looking for another better option.
In light of these, eSIM data plans are available from a range of providers, including mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) and specialized eSIM providers. But one platform that leads the cart as the cheapest place to buy eSIM data plans in Nigeria is Prestmit.

The Naira marginally depreciated against the United States Dollar in the Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange Market (NAFEM) on Thursday, December 4 amid renewed forex pressure associated with December.
At the official market yesterday, the Nigerian currency lost 0.01 per cent or 18 Kobo against the Dollar to close at N1,447.83/$1 compared with the previous day’s N1,447.65/$1.
It was not a different scenario with the local currency in the same market segment against the Pound Sterling as it further shed N15.43 to sell for N1,930.97/£1 versus Wednesday’s closing price of N1,925.08/£1 and declined against the Euro by 20 Kobo to finish at N1,688.74/€1 compared with the preceding session’s N1,688.54/€1.
Similarly, the Nigerian Naira lost N5 against the greenback in the black market to quote at N1,465/$1 compared with the previous day’s value of N1,460/$1 but closed flat against the Dollar at the GTBank FX counter at N1,453/$1.
Fluctuations in trading range is expected to continue during the festive season as traders expect the Nigerian currency to be stable, supported by intervention s by to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)in the face of steady dollar demand.
Support is also expected in coming weeks as seasonal activities, particularly the stylised “Detty December” festivities, will see inflows that will give the Naira a boost after it depreciated mildly last month, according to a new report.
“As the festive Detty December season intensifies, inbound travel, tourism spending, and diaspora inflows are expected to provide moderate support for FX liquidity,” analysts at the research unit of FMDA said in its latest monthly report for November.
Traders cited by Reuters expect that the Naira will trade within a band of N1,443-N1,450 next week, buoyed by improved FX interventions by the apex bank.
Meanwhile, the crypto market was down as the US Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, core PCE, likely rose in September—moving in the wrong direction. However, volatility indices show no signs of major turbulence.
If the actual figure matches estimates, it would mark 55 straight months of inflation above the US central bank’s 2 per cent target. The sticky inflation would strengthen the hawkish policymakers, who are in favour of slower rate cuts.
Ripple (XRP) depreciated by 4.5 per cent to $2.08, Solana (SOL) went down by 3.8 per cent to $138.11, Litecoin (LTC) shrank by 3.1 per cent to $83.23, Dogecoin (DOGE) slid by 2.5 per cent to $0.1463, Cardano (ADA) declined by 2.1 per cent to $0.4368, Bitcoin (BTC) fell by 0.9 per cent to $91,975.45, Binance Coin (BNB) crumbled by 0.9 per cent to $899.41, and Ethereum (ETH) dropped by 0.7 per cent to $3,156.44, while the US Dollar Tether (USDT) and the US Dollar Coin (USDC) closed flat at $1.00 apiece.
