Good to know
The detail, in short
Before you travel
Roaming is not switched on by default. Contact customer care or visit an outlet a day or two before departure and we will enable it on your line. Keep a healthy balance topped up - roaming charges are deducted as you use the service.
Where we roam
Somtel has roaming agreements across East Africa, the Gulf and a number of European destinations.
