Is eSIMFlyer's mobile data more dependable than hotel Wi-Fi, especially during power outages in Senegal?

Updated April 22, 2026

Absolutely, for the frequent flyer, reliable connectivity is paramount, and in Senegal, mobile data often trumps hotel Wi-Fi. Power fluctuations, known locally as 'coupures,' are not uncommon, especially outside of Dakar. When the power goes out, so does the hotel Wi-Fi. However, mobile network towers often operate on backup generators, maintaining your connection. This means your eSIMFlyer data acts as a crucial lifeline for checking flight statuses, using Google Maps, or booking rideshares, ensuring you're never truly disconnected, even when the lights go out.
