## What it costs per day in Chad

| Plan | Validity | Price | Per day | Data a day |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 GB | 7 days | $7.99 | $1.14 a day over the plan’s 7-day validity | 143 MB |
| 2 GB | 15 days | $12.99 | $0.87 a day over the plan’s 15-day validity | 133 MB |
| 3 GB | 30 days | $16.99 | $0.57 a day over the plan’s 30-day validity | 100 MB |
| 5 GB | 30 days | $25.99 | $0.87 a day over the plan’s 30-day validity | 167 MB |

The plan price is what you pay for the trip; a day is that price over the plan’s own days, so a longer plan costs less a day only if you use those days. Pick by trip length first.

## How many GB for Chad

| Usage | Our estimate | 3 days | 7 days | 14 days |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Maps and messaging | about 0.3 GB a day | 1 GB · $7.99 | 3 GB · $16.99 | 5 GB · $25.99 |
| Social media and photos | about 0.8 GB a day | 3 GB · $16.99 | no single plan, take two | no single plan, take two |

Each cell shows a plan’s total data and price for that many days, not your use. Our editorial estimates, not measurements: HD video, background sync and backups, and sharing data as a hotspot all use more.

## Network and profile conditions

- Network: Airtel (4G)
- APN set automatically
- Days count from the first connection to a network, not from payment
- Time to install the profile: 365 days after purchase
- Add data to the same profile: no

16 US carriers listed; 9 with published passes compared. The sums assume data every day at 0.8GB a day, the same norm as the data calculator. We compare each carrier’s public day passes and travel passes. Some plans have high-speed data abroad built in, then reduced speed (for example AT&T Elite 2.0, T-Mobile Experience More and Beyond, Verizon’s and Google Fi’s top plans), and many include Mexico and Canada, so check your own plan. Carrier prices as published for their own customers; the eSIM at its price, charged by card. eSIM World is not affiliated with these carriers and is not their official site. We sell travel eSIMs.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does a day of cellular data cost in Chad?

The plan that costs least for the whole trip in Chad: for 7 days, 1 GB at $7.99 ($1.14 a day); for 15 days, 2 GB at $12.99 ($0.87 a day); for 30 days, 3 GB at $16.99 ($0.57 a day). On plans with a fixed data allowance, the price per day over the plan's validity runs from $0.57 (3 GB for 30 days at $16.99) to $1.14 (1 GB for 7 days). Unused days are not refunded.

### Which network does the eSIM use in Chad?

Only Airtel (4G): it is the single partner network for Chad in the catalog. Where Airtel has no coverage, this eSIM has no signal either, so on a remote route check that Airtel covers it.

### What if the eSIM doesn't work when you land in Chad?

Check, in this order: data roaming is on for the eSIM line, the eSIM is chosen as the line for cellular data, and Airplane Mode is off. The APN sets itself on this plan, so leave it as it is. Give the phone a few minutes to register on Airtel; that first registration is what starts the plan’s days. Still no connection? See [what to check when the eSIM has no signal abroad](https://esimworld.us/help/esim-no-signal/).
