Is using an EastESIM easier than buying a local SIM at Eswatini's border?

Updated April 22, 2026

Absolutely, EastESIM offers a far more convenient solution than purchasing a local SIM card at Eswatini's borders, like Oshoek/Ngwenya, or in towns such as Manzini. Local SIM purchases typically involve finding a kiosk, waiting in line, and completing a mandatory passport registration process (often referred to as RICA). With EastESIM, your connection is entirely digital and requires no ID registration, allowing you to activate it seamlessly before you even arrive, saving you time and hassle at the border.
