Recommend for solo travelers
I’m a college student and I’ve been backpacking around Europe. I found Firsty and it helped make everything simple for me. The free plan was perfect for me.

Installing was so easy
I was worried at first about losing my prior SIM card and cellular plan, but with Firsty you can keep your other plans. Super easy to setup as well.

Came in Clutch
I ran out of data on my trip to Europe. I was stuck in a city I didn’t know and I was worried. Firsty was clutch and got me home safely in an Uber.

Just switch already
I love this app. My friends are mad that I get the best connection. No more crazy roaming costs from popular providers. Just switch tbh.

I wasn’t sure my phone supported eSIM at first so I contacted customer service and they helped me right away. There is helpful blog on this on their website.

Yes, eSIM is available in Kenya! Firsty offers two main plans: Comfort+ and First Class, designed to provide you with flexible options depending on your data needs.

What are the eSIM plans available in Kenya?

keyboard_arrow_down

Firsty provides two eSIM options in Kenya:

  • Comfort+: This plan offers mobile data at a moderate speed, suitable for essential apps like Google Maps, WhatsApp, Uber, and Email. However, it’s not fast enough for high-data usage apps like YouTube or Instagram.
  • First Class: For those needing high-speed internet, First Class provides reliable, fast data for streaming, video calls, and other data-intensive tasks.

How can I activate a travel eSIM for Kenya?

keyboard_arrow_down

Activating a travel eSIM for Kenya is simple:
1. Ensure you have a stable Wi-Fi connection to download the Firsty app.
2. Open the app and follow the setup process to activate your Comfort+ or First Class eSIM.
3. Once you arrive in Kenya, your connection will be ready immediately based on your plan.
4. For high-speed internet, choose First Class, which you can purchase and activate directly from the app.

What is the best way to get data in Kenya?

keyboard_arrow_down

The best way to get data in Kenya is by using Firsty’s Comfort+ or First Class plan. Comfort+ is ideal for essential apps like Google Maps and WhatsApp at a reduced speed, while First Class offers high-speed internet. Through top mobile internet providers, such as Safaricom, Airtel Kenya, and Telkom Kenya, Firsty ensures you’re connected to the best available network, regardless of your location, be it Nairobi, Mombasa, or Kisumu.

Can I create a hotspot with my eSIM Kenya plan?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes! With First Class, you can create a hotspot in Kenya to share your internet connection with others. This feature is especially useful for connecting multiple devices or sharing internet with friends while traveling in places like the Maasai Mara or Nairobi. Please note that if you turn on hotspot and share data with others, you will run out of high speed data quicker.

Why is Comfort+ having a slower data connection in Kenya?

keyboard_arrow_down

Comfort+ is designed to offer affordable global connectivity in regions where mobile data costs are high. We developed a smart system that automatically calculates the required speed for your usage and provides you with the exact speed you need for the essential apps like Messaging, Maps, and Email. If you need faster speeds for streaming or social media, Firsty offers the First Class plan, providing high-speed internet for all your needs. This setup ensures that all users can stay connected while traveling, regardless of their data requirements.
