Mobile connectivity guide for Guinea-Bissau

Guinea-Bissau has 4G mobile coverage in Bissau and main cities. Orange are the core networks. For Irish visitors, Guinea-Bissau is outside the EU, so Irish carrier EU roaming does not apply. A HelloRoam eSIM from $17.20 is typically far cheaper than international daily roaming add-ons.

A HelloRoam eSIM means you arrive in Bissau connected without hunting for a SIM card at the airport.

eSIM Travel Tips for Guinea-Bissau

  1. Sort your data before your flight from Dublin

    Buy your HelloRoam eSIM for Guinea-Bissau at home, activate it over Wi-Fi, and enable data when you land in Bissau. You skip the airport telecom queues entirely and step off the plane already connected.

  2. Keep your Irish number active

    On a dual SIM phone, keep your Eir, Three IE, or Vodafone IE SIM for calls and texts while using HelloRoam for data in Guinea-Bissau. Family and colleagues back in Ireland can still reach you on your regular Irish number.

  3. Offline maps save data on city breaks

    Download Google Maps or Maps.me for Bissau offline before you leave Ireland. Offline navigation saves data and works even in indoor areas with weaker signal. Guinea-Bissau cities are generally well covered but rural areas can be patchy.

  4. Travel insurance and emergency numbers

    Bring your EHIC or travel insurance details. The emergency number in most countries is 112 or local equivalents. Your HelloRoam eSIM keeps emergency apps, insurance portals, and the Irish embassy contact details accessible throughout your Guinea-Bissau trip.

  5. Currency and card acceptance

    Notify your Irish bank before travelling to Guinea-Bissau. Card acceptance is generally good in Bissau but carry some local currency for smaller vendors and public transport. Currency conversion apps work well on a HelloRoam data connection.

Mobile networks in Guinea-Bissau: what Irish visitors need to know

HelloRoam connects on Orange in Guinea-Bissau. These are the leading 4G networks in Guinea-Bissau with strong coverage in Bissau and major tourist areas. Your eSIM automatically selects the best available signal.

On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!

Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
